There is way too much crying on Notre Dame blogs today. The program needed to be rebuilt and the signs are there that the future looks bright. And the comparisons to the era of Lou Holtz continue as the 1987 squad, in Holtz's second year, also looked lost in their 35-10 bowl loss to Texas A&M, said goodbye to star wide receiver Tim Brown and did not properly groom young QB Tony Rice. Like this squad they were facing a tough schedule the following year with loaded Michigan, Miami and USC squads. Not promising an undefeated title-winning team for 2012 but there is hope--especially if one of the young QBs fully steps up and grabs the starting job.
As for today's picks, I like Tulsa, Iowa State, Miss State and Iowa. I am still reeling from losing both ND and Washington yesterday in my friend's pool. College sports can be frustrating. Then again, the Fordham basketball team (a huge source of frustration for me over the years) stunned Georgia Tech yesterday to make everything seem okay in the end. Go Rams.
