ND has always been difficult to work with. With their reputation, and name, they pretty much pick who they want to play for what ever alternative reason. More of who gets to play them. Remember when ND was hot and on top, they played the hot teams (outside of the usual games with the academies and USC, Mich) like Miami in the 80s, FSU in the early 90s. But they did play UT a few years back. So you never knopw. Whatever mood they are in. I'd take them in neutral sites. If that Indy deal came along, I'd be all over it. I have a place to stay there and I love road games. Don't know what kind of recruiting advantage you get from Indy, but whatever.
And all the negative comments on that board, the majority are UGAs (the AJC is UGA slanted) who are updet that Alabama keeps getting metioned on playing and planting a steak in ATL, their most fertal recruiting grounds.
