Let’s take a break from the “Will He/Won’t He Return” soap opera unfolding about Charlie Weis and take a look at the latest bowl predictions for Notre Dame.
- Mark Schlabach has us in the Hawaii Bowl against the Hawaii (ESPN)
- Bruce Feldman has us in the Poinsettia Bowl against BYU (ESPN)
- CBS has us in the Texas Bowl against Rice (CBS)
- NBC has us in the Hawaii Bowl against Hawaii (NBC)
- Scout has us in the Texas Bowl against Hawaii (Scout)
Someone should tell Bruce Feldman that Notre Dame can’t go to the Poinsettia Bowl. I know this because after I saw the Poinsettia Bowl as a possible destination on Sunday, Jeff called a Poinsettia Bowl rep and was told that the Irish have no chance of getting into their bowl because they have a secondary agreement with the WAC.
Anyway, right now it looks like the Texas Bowl against the 9-3 Rice Owls is our most likely destination based on these projections and information I’ve heard.
I’ve heard the Hawaii Bowl is our best chance. Wouldn’t be a smart move to put them in the Texas Bowl. The NFL Network televises that and only 37% of the nations households have that channel. That would be a dumb move to put them in that game.
GO IRISH
@dan: i couldnt agree more!!! please, i dont care who we play, Rice, Hawaii, sacred heart university for girls….
JUST WIN A DAMN BOWL GAME!
I just hope we dont lose again. I dont even care who we play just please win.
Idealy, the Texas bowl is probably the best shot of notre dame winning a bowl game.
Hey Frankie, any chance we could get an opponents poll on some of these guys? Just a thought.
