Before your next post grab a mirror.

Respect? Same set of rules? Like oversigning? Graduating players? Are you educated? Notre Dame and Michigan are bitter enemies, but at least they keep the "college" in college football. Nothing Alabama does is on a level playing or deserves respect. You sign 125 players in 4 years, use them up, and dump them back into society, where they lie, steal, cheat, or simply feast on welfare. Fantastic. Alabama offers no value to this country. There is no honor in anything you do; Saban can win five straight titles and he can still burn in hell. Alabama offers some of the lowest income, lowest literacy, and highest obesity rates in the United States. A complete leech on American society. Oh boy they play some real nasty footbaw though. Congrats.

ND obliterated MSU; Boise lost to them. You must be an Alabama graduate. ROLL TIDE.

HAHAHAHHAHA with a huge graduation rate and alot of players leave early for the draft you need to do your homework next time sir. We sign 25 players a year or less. We can back count because of attrition which means players didnt qualify or they were kicked off the team for bad behavior. Sorry but every single college team has a few bad eggs. Learn your own program before you call out ours.

Alabama - 69%
Notre Dame - 97%

Math hurts.

I give you the Oversigning Cup.

16-23-1 love it......The first 8 of those wins came from 1887-1908 when Michigan taught ND the game of football then ND won in 1909. Take way those early results and you have a series that since 1942 is 15-15-1 aided in your favor by you taking 5 of the last 7. Neither team in this series is scared of the other.

Are you really going to play that card after the gift you received last year in Ann Arbor? At least Notre Dame forced the Michigan turnovers this year. Last year we had 2 of our 5 turnovers where Rees and Wood just flat put the ball on the ground inside the red zone. Rees was about to hit Floyd for a game icing score and the ball slips out of his hands() and then Wood is running and the ball just falls out of his hands as well inside the 20 . But wins are wins and you guys took advantage. The better team was clearly Notre Dame last year. I wouldn't go that far with this year's game. It was a close game dominated by both defenses with neither team going over 300 yards. Last year ND dominated for 3 quarters then went full retard in the 4th quarter defensively. Before last week's game it took 2 superhuman efforts from Michigan to squeak out last second victories.

You are an embarrassment to your tradition rich fanbase!

So whos living off a dead bear now? I thought Alabama fans were the ones that lived in the past. Keep that same mind set ND.

Man I hope we get to play against ND this year. That way we can dismantle you, embarrass you, and probably make B. Kelly's head explode on your QB by committee. You guys are a joke and are no where close to being relevant. Atleast you always have the military schools to play against! Keep up the good fight ND!

How is that a problem when you have a few players not qualify or in some extreme cases die in the off season? Everyone is allowed to back count their signees. Its a allowed rule. We still field the full scholarship limit. Its not like we are kicking kids off the team to make room for others. If they arent acting right or going to class they are gone after the 2nd strike. No different than any other program. Believe me this picture is already painted but everyone sees it very differently. Nice try though.

No to be honest the numbers dont lie. It does not look very appealing. You can look at it two different ways. We are either taking too many kids or that we are giving some kids that would never have a D1 opportunity and yes giving them a chance to let us mold them into model character people. Yes Nick Saban knows the system very well and has let some bad apples transfer. Hell even some of them transfer to Auburn. They are either going to buy into our system and be good kids and understand what we expect or they will be asked to leave. That is by no way any different than any other program. It just so happens that most of them happen to be highly recruited highly talented guys and they get more pub for it. For the most part over 90% of our players graduate and get a free education at a pretty good university. ND and Michigan both have higher standards for entry which may be one reason they havnt signed as many or also they have been down the past few years and the kids have been choosing elsewhere. All things being equal I would rather not break any rules take a couple extra kids to fill voided spots and give them EVERY opportunity to become great young men.

Ask ANY player that has played for Coach Nick Saban and they will tell you that he is not the mean cruel bastard you see in interviews. Hell if I got asked 4 million dumb questions over and over I would be in a bad mood too. He is actually pretty funny and laid back. Kids like him very much and he does give them alot of mentoring and life coaching too. No doubt there will be some kids that just dont like him because he is too strict when it comes to rules but you show me any any kid that loves a strict parent and I will show you the fountain of youth.

I have no problems with Alabama other than the "manufactured" national championships by your SID back in the 80's. And there is no doubt Bama would clobber ND if they played this season. I don't think anyone has said otherwise and if they did well then they are not very bright. However, all of these things are cyclical and to call ND irrelevant or any other blue blood program is pure nonsense.

hope you get Bama in the NCG...that will bust your bubble

Alabama would certainly sodomize Notre Dame this year. No one arguing that.

Totally agree.
