    First time POTW for 4/18/2011-4/24/2011.

  • Swarbrck is a "class act". He is a capable administrator who does not try to impress one with his accomplishments. He allows them to speak for themselves. He is the ideal personality for the position he holds at ND!!

  • I keep thinking of 1993, and how that last minute FG and loss to BC after an emotional victory over FSU was not properly taken into account in the final polls.

    Hopefully it will be more fair than the past process, and current BCS process.

    I especially like the recognition that the pre-season polls have an undue influence on the eventual rankings, not necessarily the best teams. The pollsters look at the current rankings, and then adjust based on the week's results, instead of looking at the overall body of work.

    Thanks a lot, edd. Hope it wasn't overkill, but we had a ton of material and I didn't want any of it to go to waste.

    I would agree that the man is a class act. It would be nice to be able to sit down and chat with him more often, but the rumor is he's been kind of busy. I don't buy it. biggrin

    Agreed. It's not like BC was mediocre, they were ranked 16th coming into that game. Some folks today think they were a .500 team.

    My luck w/the Irish 18-6...GO IRISH!!!
