Miami o' Ohio plays at Michigan on Sept. 4th. Should be a good game. The ND idea is great. Right now, ND opens their season, in South Bend, with Michigan. Michigan will have already played a game. ND could use a tune up game......but NOT LSU........ND already plays a very tough schedule......If the NCAA were to allow it (and they won't) ND would never agree to opening the season with 2 losses in a row (then they have to play Michigan State , Washington, Purdue). It's gonna' be another ugly year for the Irish. They'ed be crazy to want any part of the Tigers.
I wouldn't wait for ND for next year's schedule. The 2004 ND schedule is rough, and I don't think they will be looking to add another top 5 team. I'd like Wash ST, a good chance to match up with a decent PAC10 school. As long as it is not a Div1aa team, I'll be happy.
I think it would be great to play Washington State. That way the Pac 10 could show everyone in the nation that they are just tough as the SEC. Hahaha! Bring on the Cougars!
