for it to be relevant. I'm 46 years old, so should be in their demographic, but couldn't care less about the school for church of child molesting priests.

I'm sorry but has this team been relevant in the last decade? Both fairytale runs came to an abrupt halt when they had to play a real contender, 30-3 vs Clemson and 42-14 vs Alabama 44-28 vs OSU.
Sure they might be relevant against the no longer relevant such as USC and Michigan and you can sell the hype like they do LSU vs Alabama (lopsided for over a decade now) but they're not a modern super power or even close but based off of money they're relevant because at the expense of their football players options for bowl games and post seasons they sold out for a contract of money making them seemingly "relevant" although they were only in 1 of the top 15 most watched games this year and that was a beat down by Clemson during the most popular day of the year exempting the national championship for CFB being the new years 6...

It's all BS. They haven't won a Natty since 1988.

But I kept wondering why they played their 3rd string the entire football game.

I wrote a post here the other day about how teams like USC(Trojans) and Nebraska and Notre Dame used to always enjoy great recruiting year-after-year because the handful of college games on TV often included one of them. And how cable and sports channels with lots of games evened the playing field in recruiting. Yeah, well this guy who wrote this article is still living way back in the past when everyone had to watch Notre Dame if they wanted to watch a college game. How many of the top 10 recruits have committed to ND or are visiting their campus this weekend? It's nice to tell yourself how great you are.

program who's won 1 title in the last 40 years, none in the last 30, and the vast majority of its success predates color television...
It ain't the 1940s anymore so no one should give a #### about ND.

Don’t care. Clemson is a better program now.

Better in every way except history and we can’t control that.

FWIW: I can still see Rocket Ismael flying down the field for a TD against Michigan. Good times.

Remember Army's Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside?
How about Fordham's Seven Blocks of Granite?
Yeah, I don't remember them either.

Maybe not but I see a lot of people on this board talk about the atmosphere of the 2015 game here and it seems to be a pretty big deal to have them as an OOC opponent occasionally over the next 10-15 years for many as well as strength of schedule potential. This writer is definitely being a blue blood snob but I don’t think it means Clemson fans have to be also.

Sure. IF you're a 50-year-old Catholic Midwestern Yankee.

Otherwise, everyone HATES ND and the big crowds are just to see the other team whip those arrogant Leprechauns.

Notre Dame is an excellent school with a......

..beautiful campus and a legendary football program. The Irish were so good for so long lots of people really do hate them. If Clemson can be as good, the country will be delighted to hate us as much as they hate Notre Dame.
In the meantime, I'm delighted the Irish are on our schedule from time to time, both home and away. I'd like to get a few more similarly famous schools on our schedule and play them regularly too.
I'd love to see a home and home with Texas. Austin is a great little city that would be a wonderful away game venue. I would like to see the Long Horns in Death Valley.
Southern California is a long way from Clemson, but I want to get the Trojans on our schedule home and away. Southern Cal is of course a legendary football program with 7 Nattys in my life and 6 Heisman Trophy winners.
Those are my top two national opponents whom I'd like to see come to Death Valley. Down a rung, I'd love a couple of game with Nebraska, Michigan, and Penn State. I'd much rather add games with those 5 teams than to keep playing the same old SEC teams we've always played. Realistically, it'll take at least 25 years to get games with those five teams, but I'd love it if Dabo made that a priority for Clemson football and his career.
I never understand my fellow Tigers who bash those great old programs of legend claiming they are no longer relevant and yet want to play Georgia (1 title in forever who are only a legend in their own minds) or LSU (7 straight losses to Alabama and 10 (!) losing seasons just since we won our 1981
Natty).
When we play great teams from all over the country, the Clemson brand gets bigger, better and more widespread than continuing to play deep south teams with a higher opinion of themselves than their records can justify.
Go Tigers!!

It's Notre Dame.
It's always Notre Dame, the seventh-most valuable program in college football entering last season with $112 million in revenue and $72 million in profit.

Well I guess if your goal is to have the most non grad fans vs actually having the best team, they win that unimportant race.

They're the most polarizing team in CFB by a mile. I spent way too much $ on that game (before the hurricane hit and ticket prices dropped) and planning on taking my son next year. They suck and I want to see us beat them in person.

If you measure it by revenue maybe I would agree..maybe. Notre Dame on the field is a has-been and haven't been relevant in a while...a long while. I still like to play them from time to time just so we can beat their pompous arrogant @sses
