IRISH -- the Rodney Dangerfield of Basketball


What's it going to take for the media to give our FIGHTING IRISH the respect they have earned?
  • Only one team in America has FIVE WINS over top-20 ranked teams (at the time they played):  #20 Notre Dame
  • #17 Louisville, who Notre Dame beat at Louisville -- and is in seventh place in the Big East (ND is in third) is ranked AHEAD of #20 Notre Dame
  • #10 Marquette, who Notre Dame beat -- and like Notre Dame has three losses in the Big East -- is ranked ahead of #20 Notre Dame
  • #9 Georgetown, who is in fourth place in the Big East -- is ranked AHEAD of the third place team in the Big East #20 Notre Dame 
  • #11 Michigan, #13 Baylor and #15 Florida State -- all THIRD PLACE teams (like Notre Dame) in their respective conferences are all ranked AHEAD of #20 Notre Dame.  Yet, Notre Dame plays in what is widely regarded as the BEST CONFERENCE in basketball...

Media bias (?) you be the judge.  Just keep WINNING -- the media will have no choice but to give the IRISH the respect they deserve.
