This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Good points. On the G.O.A.T. hypothetical, I'd say that if by rockmcd

they go on to beat both Clemson and Alabama this year (what tho' the odds), that would probably be the greatest finale to a championship season in ND history. To knock off the undefeated national champions from each of the previous 2 seasons in back to back weeks to win a championship is probably unprecedented for any team, not just ND. Not that previous ND teams wouldn't have been capable of pulling off such a feat, they just didn't have the opportunity.

Would that make them the greatest ND team of all time? No, I really don't think so but let's ask ourselves again after they do it because by then we'll all be seeing them in a different light than we are now.

Would it be the greatest finish to a championship season? Yes, I think they'd stand alone in that regard. Not much competition because most of their titles didn't involve bowl games. The best 2 game run to finish a season is probably 1988 when they beat undefeated USC and West Virginia in back to back games.
