So there was this place in Chicago that I used to frequent between the hours of 4 and 7 am pretty regularly when I used to live there. Taco joint. Taco Burrito Express #2 was the formal name of the place. These guys were my boys. Most especially because they didn’t mind, and they didn’t mock me, for walking into a burrito joint once a week, buzzed out of my gord on Goose Island’s 312 or some redbull and vodka (I have graduated to finer choices in my old age, just let me tell you) and ordering a Cheeseburger. Ummmm, Cheeseburger. Had one.
ND sat around and ate Cheeseburgers Saturday. It was nice. It was relaxing. It was the second best performance of the season for the Irish.Â
And Sagarin’s Strength of Schedule ratings considered this a tough opponent – ND currently has the most difficult schedule in the nation, all thanks to the formidable opponent BYE (aka The Cheeseburgers). BYE is tough, tenacious. BYE never, EVER loses. The best you can EVER do against BYE is score a 0-0 tie, and that’s saying something.
And this week, BYE pushed ND’s SOS up to #1 most difficult in the country. Of course, it will dip a bit in the coming weeks. But so should opponents’ offensive yardage and points. And ND’s offensive woes should dissipate a bit as well.
The most difficult schedule in the country to date isn’t an excuse for Charlie or this squad. But it’s one piece of information to keep handy when you’re wondering what’s been going on lately. Keep it in mind too, when your friends throw their team’s 1-loss, 2-loss, 3-loss, 4-loss, 5-loss or 6-loss record in your face. It’s is 100% guaranteed that it was easier for them to get there. 100%.
