IF nd doesn't beat purdue or mich st. they won't win a game until navy and af and don't hold your breath that they can beat either one of them. by that time of the season that nd defense could be so beat up, they won't be able to stop those option attacks.

ND will not beat Michigan State.

The Irish aren't as bad as some of you guys are making them out to be.

I thought they looked halfway decent, on the road, against the team I picked to take the Big 10 this year.

Good point DRUGS. I'm a ND fan, but a realistic fan at that. They did not look bad in the first half against PSU. Their defense is much better this year, however the offense as we can all see is very suspect. There is no comparing Clausen with Quinn. Right now, it's apples and oranges. Quinn could trust a running game and had good receivers to throw to. Clausen has neither. They will not beat Michigan, but they will get better as the season as the season progresses. It could be worse, look at Syracuse. There used to be a lot of Syracuse fans in Upstate, NY, but not any more. I still cheer them on, but man are they bad. Anyway, the rest of the college season should be quite interesting. LSU looks scary good. USC will get beat at some point even though their schedule is a joke.

Since we're guessing, I say their first game won will be Boston College.

Im sorry I forgot, Notre Dame doesn't play any high school or Pop Warner teams.

we were having this the discussion at work today. What IF nd beats michigan?? they'll have to call out the national guard to protect coach carr from the lynch mob!
michigan would be done for the rest of the year, they'd never recover.

i was thinking the same thing when i saw the score early on....

has notre dame ever gone winless in a season? eh, maybe purdue will be their first win.

I don't hear the same outcry for Weis to be fired that there was for Willingham, and Ty's teams never looked this horrendous.

[SniperSB23]

They are now ranked ahead of only three teams in all of Division 1A in the Massey Ratings. Too bad they don't have Rice, North Texas, or Temple on their schedule.

They tried for Temple, but Temple wanted the extra Home game in the series !


Come to think of it..maybe the problem is They SHOULD go to Temple, and stay out of the church ???

maybe they don't want to look like they're picking on the fat guy...they really can't afford to fire him, can they? between all the ex-coaches salarys, they won't have enough fundage for the new one. besides, they're still sold on weis--this is a building year!
