I don't think it happens. USC fans aren't happy about this.

Example #1 linked and I'm sure others can find more colorful language.




This is so true

I have many USC fans and this stat was often worn as a "Badge of Honor."

We don't schedule FCS teams was often bragged about by both ND fans and USC fans at all our tailgates. When I brought this up yesterday, the anger and disgust was palpable. It was just another in the long list of kicks to the fruit stand that USC fans have had to deal with in the post-Carroll era. Not only does ND get to proclaim this still, but so does UCLA and that REALLY pisses off the USC fans (even though I don't see UCLA being able to claim this for much longer).

I know this latest scheduling BS really has their fans pissed because, like us, SC fans are passionate (and somewhat manic) but I couldn't imagine what this board would be like if Savvy did this to ND. New Mexico is close enough.


I hope you’re right.

MAC teams now regularly appear on the schedule. Let’s hope ND refrains from scheduling FCS teams.


USC fans put Swann’s USC jersey on a barbecue and torched

it last December. They wanted Helton to be fired, Swann refused. Not sure he even noticed the jersey incident.

I truly don’t think Savvy will schedule — or if he would, he would not be permitted to schedule — an FCS team. But if he did, what could we do about it? He seems to care not a whit about all of the cancelled season tickets, the soft ticket markets, or the decline in alumni donations of the smaller variety. Whatever happens, his toes are still tappin’. And that’s why he’s Savvy Jack.
