The state of Notre Dame football.

So let's suppose that, say, Michigan St is a team without a bunch of top 30 recruiting years. Did Ty leave enough in the cupboard for a genius football coach to beat them?

Purely a hypothetical question.

Here's another purely hypothetical question: Let's suppose Purdue doesn't have a bunch of elite recruiting classes, and Charlie Weis is a football genius (yeah, I know the second isn't a hypothetical, but stick with me). Now let's suppose that Purdue is playing Notre Dame.

1. How many points should I be willing to give and still take ND?

2. If the whole world is gone crazy and I'm getting points, should I bet all I have or should I bet all I have plus all I can borrow?
