I don't think they would play us, but if they did the OM fan base would meltdown in jealousy.
No thanks. I'll take my 4 easy OOC wins every year. Our schedule was #2 toughest in the nation last year. It's hard enough.
In the last 20 years or so ND has played on the road in the south many many times. Don't say they won't come down here because that's not true. Examples include 2-3 trips to Knoxville, 1-2 to Red Stick, Florida State, VANDERBILT, Georgia Tech. The question is would they come to Starkpatch. They really want to maintain 7 home games so they may be looking for home only against an MSU. Probably only will h/h with a "big boy." I think they're thinking TAMU. For recruiting and they love playing in TX>
because we scheduled Okie State, who's much better than ND, in the OOC. trade those two out and the schedule is much easier. in general, I agree though. 4 warm ups and an SEC slate are more than enough. Unfortunately we have to schedule at least 1 big OOC game now and I can gaurandamntee you we'll get the Ohio State, Michigan state, Oregon, Stanford draws while Bama gets to chose whoever they want.
If memory serves me well, ND played umiss in 1977. umiss beat them.
Fellas, Strick is THE MAN! He already replied to my email as follows:
Kelly,
Thanks for your email. We have reached out to Notre Dame, but have not gotten any kind of feedback from them. I agree with you ... they would be a great addition to a future Bulldog schedule.
Hail State!

He is one of ours, boys, and I love him for it!
It would be really cool to play them at a neutral site like the Colts or Titans stadium.
How far y'all gonna take this pipe dream? Maybe we can sandwich the game in between the two opening MNF games and get John Madden to come out of retirement to announce the game. We could also schedule a golf tournament at the Masters and get Tiger Woods to give our golf team lessons and get Erin Andrews to wear a hooters outfit and give out free beer. Then we can line the entire north endzone of South Bend with Yeti coolers and huge grills and have Memphis in May's BBQ contest moved to September in South Bend. All these things are equally as possible as Notre Dame scheduling a home and home with us. Go home. You're drunk.
How big of a dick are you gonna be when you don't need to and how big of a fool are you gonna be when you consider Notre Dame, in the past decade or so has played away at:
Maryland
Wake Forest
Syracuse
Arizona State
Purdue
Air Force
Pitt
MIchigan State
BC
North Carolina
Washington
Georgia Tech
Oregon State
Stanford
That's not exactly a list of perennial powerhouses or huge stadiums. I'd put our program at or above most of them, and I'm quite sure our stadium would be larger than some. And we are an SEC team, one that will most likely make some real noise this year.
Apparently Stricklin & Mullen don't think it's such a crazy idea. But you feel free to go on and make a bigger ass of yourself.
How many would try and go our away game in South Bend? I know I would. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Damn right I'd go to Southbend.
The mackerel snappers from South Bend would be a smart match for the coonasses from Baton Rouge.
