Dave: I’m glad the new Notre Dame behaved itself during and after the Navy game. But there’s one thing that bothers me about Notre Dame playing Navy — the talent gap. Did anyone for a moment think there Navy stood any chance of winning? While other teams play serious league schedules, ND pads its independent schedule with games against easy prey. I’m all for sportsmanship, but in this case it was risk-free. If next year I see the ND and USC bands getting along, I’ll know there’s something to this display of genuine sportsmanship, South Bend style.
