Anyone think Notre Dame is over-rated?

[Hanmudog]

Watching them seemingly every night on ESPN, they seem like a team full of big slow white kids (as opposed to Duke's small quick white kids). I know the Big East is supposedly the best this season but I really feel that on a neutral court that State could beat them. Here's hoping karma will let us face them next year in the NCAAs against the Danny Devito of the Hansbrough family.

Edited to add: Notre Dames SOS is 59 and their RPI is 75 yet they were ranked 22nd in one poll and 26th in another.

...they would get votes in football even if they are 6-6. Same with basketball.

I'm not sure if they're overrated or not, but I do find myself pulling against them simply because I'm sick and tired of hearing Digger pump them up every time he's on the air.

It's fun to watch big, slow, white guys win some bball games.

because I've played against plenty of white guys who were good and athletic. Chase Budinger is probably the most athletic guy in the country. But that damed Harangody.. I swear I don't know how he does it.. that body, those moves, and that haircut. And he just keeps showing up and dropping double-doubles.
It's like if Marcus Campbell showed and dropped a consistent 25 and 13. You'd be like, how in the hell is he doing that?

"It's like if Marcus Campbell showed and dropped a consistent 25 and 13. You'd be like, how in the hell is he doing that?"

I cant even fathom that. He would have to catch the ball when throw to him at least 8-9 times just to even have a chance to score that much...aint no way...at least the white guy has hands...Marcus couldnt catch a cold sitting butt-naked in a meat freezer with an ice cube stuck in his ***

 

[dogfan96]

Harangody is actually a really good player. He's just undersized and can't jump at all (and averages 13 rpg somehow). He can shoot the ball and he understands positioning and angles. Pretty much the total opposite of Campbell who's just clumsy.

Chase Budinger is probably the most athletic guy in the country.

I'm gonna assume that's a typo and you meant "most athletic <span style="font-weight: bold;">WHITE</span> guy in the country."
