I did not know which one I disliked more coming into tonight's game.The second I saw them together on tv Notre Dame is the one I just can't cheer for.

I submit for your consideration:
Missouri
Kansas State
Colorado

Ya know when I grew up during the time with Pennyhusker and Sparky Mizzou always was hard fought battle and a bloody knuckler... First game I ever went to Mizzou beat us 16-14 in 1968 when they had Devine and 1969 we shared the title but lost to them head to head but after TO lost in 1976 and 1978 the old Bell rivalry was never the same so for the most part as a old fart I respected Mizzou and always love beating them as much as OU.

Colorado students were the ones that make that fan base unlike able but for the most part it is one of the best venues to watch a college football game.

i hate both teams, but am rooting for UT tonight cause i think they will lose several games in the big 12, whereas with ND's easier schedule, they will likely lose only one more. And, re the burnt orange "hotties," i cant stand anything in burnt orange. otoh, the uSC cheerleaders are something else.

Texas' offense looks fantastic. Imagine if they can put together some defensive stops...

Ditto on hating both teams. I dislike the Irish more. They seem to find away to always have just enough luck to find the win just when you think there done

My disdain for the irish is most likely the status they routinely receive... There's the SEC and Notre Dame, and then there's the rest of college football. The last time Notre Dame won a NC was 1988... And even though they played for a NC 3 or 4 years ago, it seemed like an Iowa 2015 kind of season for them, where everything went there way.

Texas? Never had a problem with them til they joined the Big 12... Yes, they beat us in a variety of ways, but the screw job applied by Texas and the rest of the Big 12 is the primary reason for my disdain of Texas.

How the hell is that not targeting?? Shot right to the head and nearly knocked the guy out. Apparently it is reviewable as well.

This rule is disgusting. More often than not the calls are botched and then a guy gets knocked out and nothing.

Maybe your to young too remember but ND beat texass in the 1971 Cotton bowl and the damn coach's poll voted before the bowl game and they claim one of their National titles in 1970...

Tell you what we were more deserving of the national title in 1983 more so then the whorns in 1970. :mad:

Kid led with his shoulder and made a good play on the ball. not targeting in my opinion. The safety has to be allowed to try and break the pass up. He was using his shoulder and not his head. But that's the problem...it's a purely subjective call that means something different to everyone. Even the refs. Some will call it with any contact to the head. Others only call it for headhunting. It's a bogus rule that needs to be rolled back to allow for defenders to make plays.
