Goth, the Irish were competitive in the past so why not now? They have more NC's than any other program and did it with their exceptional standards, didn't they?

Sal, you make a good point concerning things have changed. BTW, Army has won the NC a couple/few(?) times in the far distant past. Do you think they maintained their standards or raised them? If they are the same today as years ago then they should still be able to win a NC. I think, like the Irish, that talented recruits see other programs more attractive and feel that they can get a good education at a lot of other institutions. Not to mention, they really, as youngsters, care mostly about playing the game they love!
