It's clear that something's amiss with the qoutes...but no matter!

but living in Michigan and seeing App. State beat Michigan helped to ease my pain a little.

In all seriousness, I would feel better for you if you lived Your dream...instead of ND's!

???????????? can you explain for me?

Read my earlier post

Sports fans are extensions of teams, and live their lives vicariously through these teams! Your dreams are what's important....not fulfilling ND's quest for fan adulation! All of the energy you expend might be better served as you complete your studies, looking for the EDGE that will make you better than the other 2mil graduates coming out every year! ....just a thought

I understand what you are saying. All this talk and going back and forth has made me tired. I think my really uncomfortable dorm bed is calling.

"Wax on...Wax off, NDMan!;)

Exactly. They showed nothing. My guess is that they are 1-7 going into those last four cupcake games.

Does the school make the schedule?

if it does, then they knew they were going to be bad and they figured why not go into the offseason on a high note. Looks like there is money to be made because the line is always tilted because of ND faithful putting their money on them. Should be interesting.

It's left handed Saturday..right?

...I'm at a loss for words.....how did you know I'm ambidextrous?:D

Scavs, i think alot of time they make the schedule because of the money involved. Anyone looking at this team knew they were not going to be a great team. I'm pretty sure i could have ran for a 120 and a touchdown yesterday against them. It is definitely an ambitious schedule, maybe the toughest in the country.. ND people hate notre dame because they can. It's like why i hate the yankee's. I'm not even a baseball fan but i can't stomach the yankees. It's all about the tradition, the records, and our huge arrogance. That and a lot of people think chuckles is a an idiot....

nd thinks they got beat up yesterday? wait until monday and tuesday on espn radio! especially after weis came on a couple weeks ago and said something along the line of "i'm Not rebuilding this team. we've got Our players in place".

Top 5 Reasons Why Notre Dame Lost
 

Here we go:

5. They are overhyped again
4. They are overated again
3. They cant make up thier mind who is going to be thier Qb
2. Weiss was out coached again
1. THEY FLAT OUT SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!


I was hoping they would of won to make the Penn State game a little interesting. But as you said IrishofNDman at least your boys didnt get thier @sses handed to them by a 1AA team.


Hope they enjoy thier visit to Happy Valley.


PS I think its awesome that you stand behind your team.

I think the Charlie Weis hype machine can end now. The guy needs to get on that NutriSystem deal with the rest of the retired football lard asses.

It is hard to schedule good teams late in the season because they are all busy playing conference games.

There used to be an infamous poster who was a big ND fan. However he doesn't "suit up" here anymore

No you aren't. I knew we were in for a long season, and I agree with you that it will be fun to watch them the rest of the season. Charlie Weiss is too good of a coach to let this turn into a complete mess. As far as people piling on you, that's fine. I think a lot of what I've read so far(only on page 4 of this thread) is mostly in good fun. Someone mentioned earlier that you either love or hate Notre Dame. I took some busting from my buddies yesterday. No big deal. The sweet NBC contract rubs people the wrong way. I'm proud of a University that doesn't just sign any recruit. You actually have to perform in the classroom at ND. They are down, but not out. We are Notre Dame.

Huh????:confused: According to who? Their pre-season rank was like 50.

No you are not.
I like ND as a school.
Very good academics
and I like most of the athletes
they produce. A breath of fresh
air for the most part. I liked their
Bball team last year.

But I have hated their football team
for a very long time. Goes way back to
beating Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

I do admire your guts with what appears
to be a fairly bad team. Redemption is one
game away. You beat PSU, and people will
again have to say they will not die.

Texas will have a damn long season if they play
like they did yesterday. GT also would have killed Texas
yesterday.

Yes but he would not have typed a letter till the dust had settled.
This guy at least has some guts.

Maybe I was wrong on a few of the reasons. Hopefully they wont make it to a bowl game again and get thier @sses handed to them again. Seems like that has been the traditional way of thier season ending. Along with losing to USC. When was the last time they won a bowl game worth a crap? Seems like that was years and years ago.

1993 cotton bowl is the last bowl game nd has won.

Yeah...and your point?

I think the point is ND is, has been OVERRATED for awhile...sorry Charlie keeping your whose gonna be quiet startin'QB ain't gonna help. Good Luck next year when you bring back...RUDY...RUDY...RUDY...Morty...RUDY...RUDY... PG1985...RUDY...MORTY...PG1985...Morty...Grits...M orty...oops, too many Mortygarita's tonite!!!!

1993 was the last time that Notre Dame won a bowl game worth a crap? I wasnt even close to retirement from the Navy. My how time flies.:eek:

OK...Prior to 2004, the Boston Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since 1918.
Sooooo was I supposed to stop rooting for them? A lot of people should just spend more time and energy supporting their own team rather than knocking people for the teams they like. It's actually kind of hilarious to see people get nuts going off on it.

I guess your brother wasn't the only one who got hammered.

Going nuts? Hmm isn't this a free forum or not? I do support my teams: Pitt, Penn State, Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. And the Naval Acadamy in football, im partial to them since I retired after being in the Navy for 20 years.:D

Super. Good luck to all of your teams.

i think other teams and fans resent notre dame because they get a lot of air time--but that's because they produce the ratings...right or wrong, it's all about money in the end. also why notre dame gets a bowl game every year, deserved or not.

oh, and GO PENN STATE!!

I will 2nd your statement, especially the GO PENN STATE!!

He would have said that this is a down year for ND but Michigan really sucks!!! to deflect attention somewhere else.

Well it helps when your local NBC affiliate is owned by the University.

Excellent....How Refreshing. Actually I root for Penn State too. I rally around a guy like Joe Paterno, who by the way many people were ready to hang a few years ago. They went through some tough seasons as well.

all the respect in the world for joe paterno. in an age of what have you done for me lately, and chasing the almighty dollar, he showed that he admired that program as much as they did him--and showed a loyalty not seen much these days. he was chased after by many college and pro teams over the years, but stuck with the college--so often people say they want a 'new challenge', but what about the challenge of making a top program, and then keeping it at the top thru thick and thin, and staying the course in the lean years? i hope he has great success this year, i know that there aren't many paterno years left, so i hope he has a great time.

Very True!! He is the ultimate Person/coach.

I'll wade back in since the last time I was involved in this post was pg 4 Sat night..Irish can support whoever he wants..but he invites criticism, and should take it, when he posts that "You wish you could be ND"...
Come on..

Canon..Michigan beats ND by at least 14

Yeah but can Michigan cover against Oregon this week?

Yes I forgot that method.
I miss him dearly.

I remember when we both picked OU to crush USC one year, and the opposite happened, he did not post for a few weeks. And I came on and got hammered by everyone in California, which I deserved.
