Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3739450, member: 6620"] Ha! I must not have communicated that well....the 9,000 fans were needed for, hmmm, moral support. Never even thought of the gate totals. (the NBC contract, which many people love to attack, does cover many other considerations.) I'm not saying you wrote that ND is a "has been" power, but this was after a review of the entire thread. Celebrate at one's own risk. Niele, after all, was largely responsible for recruiting most of the players that have caused some degree of havoc. Yes, MM's special relationship with her Philly buddy made it interesting, but the rivalry has long been fueled by wing-women (hello, Chris!). BTW, last point, the Irish have always played DePaul and Marquette. If they continue to play them -- and UConn -- it will be a mid-season four in its own right. [/QUOTE]
