20 years ago they didn't limit scholarships and parity wasn't even in sight.

The talent is still there, it's just more spread out. But the top teams still get their share.

True, but I was specifically referring to ND. In that great stretch from 88-93, ND had sick talent throughout the 2-deep. Rice, Zorich, Lyght, Bettis, Ismael, Waters, Brown, etc...Now they have a MAC team. If there is hope for ND fans, USC and Oklahoma went through some down years and bounced back nicely. No reason ND can't.

Yeah, they did have some talent back then.
Go Rick Mirer! (sorry, couldn't resist)

I pine for the days when USC was down. It was so nice in the Pac 10 back then...
