i know you're supposed to give 10%, i didn't know rooting for the team was also a requirement..but i haven't been a practicing catholic in some time, so i guess i'm slipping.

clausen to start saturday vs the nittany lions. he's their 'best shot at a win'. three huge losses in a row for notre dame now. and it's not going to improve this wknd.
i've always felt that when there are still ?'s about the QB when the season starts, that it will be a bad, looong year. all that is supposed to be ironed out, and decided on, before the opener. how else is the offense supposed to get in a groove? if you doubt that, just look at arkansas EVERY year. nutt can't ever make a decision. and it's his job to do so.
ol charlie better start writing his resume. but hey, michigan might be interested.

any Notre Dame fan knew Clausen was going to be the starter this weekend.

In #7 we trust!

I think Clausen is overrated, but I guess we'll see...

I can see ND winning 4 games this season. The Irish will have Weis' head on a platter before it's all said and done.

I hope Weis is fired someday just for the fact that a ND coaching search is one of the most entertaining spectacles around. Secret meetings, trustees lobbying...and the best...being turned down by their first 6 choices each time...priceless

I wouldn't call a guy who played one quarter of college football, led his high school to 3 straight State Championships, never lost as a starter (42-0) overrated. I would wait to pass judgment.

He might be mildly retarded considering he turns 20 this month. I would hope he'd dominate in high school since he was playing against guys two years his junior.

2 of those wins will probably be against Navy and Air Force. These 2 schools belive in academics instead of athletics. Also they have a military commitment after school, so more than likely they don't get the athletes like most of the major colleges get.

not all high schoolers make the leap to college, much like many college stars fall flat on their face when they go pro. remains to be seen what clausen can do, but seems a complete 180 from the supposed DEEP QB class they had just a year ago. this ought to be interesting. but then, a ready made excuse if/when clausen falters. the weight of a school on his shoulders. will he pull it off, or will he be this years version of mitch mustain?

Why are they still an independent? Are they afrad if they would go to the Big Ten that would no longer get thier undeserving Bullshit Championship Series bowl game. They aren't the only undeserving team for that.

I am very sure that other people will agree with those two reasons, especially if they have a clue about college football.

GIMME SOME SUGAR NITTANY LION STYLE.

Not defending ND but the teams that you mentioned are hardly under televised.

ND is an independent because they get to keep ALL of the TV money from NBC and bowl games instead of splitting it. You and I would do the same thing in that position.

I think I'm feverish.....I'm actually sticking up for Notre Dame! What is the world coming to?

Is that why they usually suck?
