Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3739386, member: 7492"] As I was reading Dillon's comments, and what my feedback to Orangutan was for creating this thread, no where did I suggest that ND was a "has been power" or going to be lacking in talent along without a Top 5, Top 10 ranking. We will see it play out if Niele can't keep them relevant (my beat is she's Top 10) but let's face it, part of the allure was the MM vs. Geno dynamic. Does the allure stay with Niele? No, Niele is not that type of polarizing personality. We have Chicago area recruiting covered with DePaul. We no longer have Texas or Carolina on the schedule, plus as noted, we are missing the west coast. Both schools have the ability to schedule anyone they want but there is no allegiance to have to schedule each other. But with the way the poll looks now with 23 more people wanting to keep ND, the fuss is moot. My last comment to [USER=6484]@Geew1992[/USER] is Covid was the [B][I]excuse[/I][/B] to cancel the ND game AT ND this year, not the [B][I]reason[/I][/B]. Like I said earlier in this thread, ND football scrambled to get the ACC to throw it a lifeline to aid their schedule when the Big10 and PAC12[B] DID cancel due to Covid[/B]. That is a heck of lot more people being exposed than the 14 member team plus coaching and limited support staff that WCBB has, especially for a home game without travel. I hate to throw shade at [USER=6620]@Dillon77[/USER] but come on, to wash your hands of why Niele cancelled a home game this year and forego 9,000+ fans and revenue as you weren't sure? I guess you're a republican...:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
