Should Notre Dame include The Coast Guard,Salvation Army and Merchant Marines in their schedule?

I would agree, but odds are that they might eventually lose to one of those teams, and then the media would have a hard time pumping them up.\n  I am not a USC fan, but I hope that they stick it to notre dame, just to show how low they really are. I wasn't impressed with '' the dames'' last year when my Buckeyes beat them, nor was I impressed when Michigan kicked their tails. If they somehow get another shot at OSU for the NC, I would be very disappointed. Notice how I didn't say scared. I have no fear of them.

They do water operations. Usually rescue. Coast Guard does exactly as their name, Guard the Coast. They are usually stationed around the US, in Port Cities and protect the US from the ports. You can also do something as: \n\n In a typical day the Coast Guard might:\n\nConduct 109 search and rescue missions \nAssist 192 people in distress \nSave 10 lives \nBoard 144 vessels \nProtect $2,791,841 in property \nLaunch 396 small-boat missions \nLaunch 164 aircraft missions \nSeize 169 pounds of marijuana \nSeize 306 pounds of cocaine \nService 135 aids to navigation \nRespond to 20 hazardous spills \nBoard 100 large vessels for port safety checks \nInterdict and rescue 14 illegal migrants \n\n It has been said that the Coast Guard is the only armed service that doesn't just wait around for the next war. Unless there's actual shooting going on, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force spend essentially all of their time training for the day that they will be called upon to use their skills. This is vitally important to the nation's security, to be sure, but the Coast Guard fights its "war" every day of the year. \n\nMost jobs in the Coast Guard require seamanship skills. This is especially true of entry-level jobs. It is possible to serve in the Navy for many years and never be assigned to a ship, but everybody gets wet in the Coast Guard! So use your weekends for recreational boating. Do whatever you like best: sailing, speed boating, personal water craft. And make sure you become a strong swimmer. The Coast Guard won't let you out of boot camp until you can prove that you can take care of yourself in the water. The process will be a lot easier if you get started now.

The Coast Guard is currently providing Port security and Maritime Operational Security in various countries located along the Arabian Gulf such as Kuwait, Bahrain and the UAE. Operations are also being conducted in Iraq. The Coast Guard provides port and riverine operations throughout the world. The Coast Guard plays an integral role in coastal warfare, and works closely with the US Navy in joint coastal warfare squadrons.\n\nIf you feel that any current operations by any branch of the military are "immoral", I would suggest not entering the military. Your opinion will create a lot of problems for you and could make interacting with other sailors, airmen, soldiers and marines problematic. The job of any military member is to carry out all lawful orders given, whether or not you agree with them. If you know going in that you do not agree with the spirit of the mission, why force yourself to make difficult moral decisions on a daily basis?

Yes, He should, along with the rest of the entire USC team. My team (Oregon State University/ I am an alumni) is the only team to beat them in the last 30 conference games. They should all leave, and I would wish them well in the NFL. Then maybe OSU could win again next year. He looked awfully good against Notre Dame. I think he will go early. Now, if John David Booty would join him....

It would depend upon the group. It would need to have marine elecrical systems on it.

They are not playing or have they performed at their current ranking.\nThis is a Team that was blown out by 20 to USC and blown out by 26 against michigan.\nThey may be 10-2 but did they ever win against any big teams?? \nthey barely beat a UCLA team that is 6-5. they were down by 20 to Michigan state before michigan state essentially gave up the game. In my opinion to be ranked high u should have at least beaten a good team. Air Force? Navy? Army? Michigan State? North Carolina? Out of those 5 teams only 1 team (navy) had a winning record. But when it came time to play to play the good teams, the choked and were blown out.\nThey have the big time players but once again they just couldn't always play to their potential. Brady Quinn did good this year and single-handedly carried Notre Dame in the USC game. Darius Walker was a good running back but he never really came through in the clutch situations, such as fumbling ast the 7 yard line in the USC game.\nI personally think that for once just because they met qualifications to be in the BCS doesnt mean the should be there. many other teams should be there but wont get to because Notre Dame is the media's golden team and they willl get in.

1. Notre Dame\n2. Duke\n3. Harvard; Radcliffe\n4. US Naval Academy\n5. Notre Dame\n6. Well, if you are referring to where the Navy-Notre Dame game was this year (which happened several weeks ago) it was at Navy.  Army plays Navy at Navy next week; Notre Dame's regular season is finished.

no, because a team's final record should not be the only determining factor in playing for the national championship.\n\nif that were the case, you would see teams schedule their non-conference opponents as division 2 teams to better their records.  that's just not right....

They could.  Depends on which team shows up to play.  Some weeks they look great and could hold their own with most teams, other weeks they struggle.  One huge factor, their young QB who stepped in early this season and has turned things around injured his ankle in the 4th quarter against Pitt.  His mobilility is part of his success at the run and passing game.  Both games against powerhouses Louiville and WV are worth keeping an eye on because if there is a team that can pull off an upset it is S. FL.

The Coast Guard just doesn't have the budget that the DoD branches have for publicity.\nThey do get quite a bit of coverage for some daring rescues, they sponsor a car in the NASCAR Busch Series (this year with Kevin Harvick driving it most of the time), they are featured on The Weather Channel's Storm Stories from time to time, Discovery Channel's Coast Guard rescue, and a few of the other cable channels.  However, their publicity is not proportional to the work/jobs that they do!

Don't worry..its just a staging area.....i think the Salvation Army is the next group being called up for deployment. They'll have to change (no pun intented)tactics for Iraq.

My preference is no.  But if they win out the UWV - UL looser on Thursday this week will fall out of the top 8 in the BCS thus allowing Notre Dame in.  I am pretty sure they have a special BCS deal that they only need to crack the BCS top 8 to get the bid to one of the BCS bowls.
