Actually, ND doesn't just play in great bowls. They have played in 5 big bowls in the 9 game streak(Rose, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar) but have also played in 4 lesser bowls including Insight.com bowl and Cotton(maybe Gator as well).

Yeah, so aside from the big 5, they have lost 2 Cottons, 1 Insight.com, and 1 Gator. There goes Lou's excuse.

Not only have they lost, but only one of those games was withing 2 touchdowns, and the game that was was actually a game where they were completely overrun.

What a game! Did LSU live up to all the hype or what?
I'd like to see an LSU/Ohio State matchup or it would have been nice to seen LSU and Boise State playing.
I think LSU is or has been playing the best football in the country since they lost to Florida. I also think the Vols should have beaten LSU too. Crazy? Maybe. I'm all VOL! BIG ORANGE PRIDE!

What more proof do you need that ND survives on reputation more than real ability. Five top traditional bowl games (of the 9) all with blow-out losses. They were in those games due to sweetheart deals with the BCS or general overratedness. The next time I hear an ND fan whine about the media being against them I think I'll puke!

Our bowl losses of recent past are to Ralph Friedgen and Tommy Bowden. That makes me say ouch, too.

reality. what a pain in the a$$.

though, i think Ralph isn't all that bad of a coach. Not great, but he's been solid at MD. Bowden on the other hand........eh.
