He had Tatem going against Young until they were almost HOSPITALIZED. THEY EARNED team respect. They earned their coaches respect.

Like people respected Brady Quinn, all he cared about was his NFL contract. Trust me, I know ALOT about Notre Dame, I live in their biggest alumni area and have been to many games. Notre Dame was built on CASH, not on anything you are describing. Go watch Rudy again and believe that is actually what happened.
That's one of the most ridiculous things I have read on here. Please don't try to tell me the SIU basketball program gives out no scholarships. I think to play basketball at SIU you have to be a REALLY good high scool player or a JC transfer and win a scholarship much like goes on at other schools....that's how they "earn" their way onto the team. My guess is they have to "earn" their way into the lineup...pretty much like all the other schools as well. My guess is however, SIU gives out a few b-ball scholarships here and there and most likely most of their players tonight were on them.

Thankyou!!!! These guys are giving there starting jobs at ND because they are good and earn it. At SIU you must have to go through bootcamp to get that job.

I don't have a Charlie Weis poster yet, I do need on though. I will be married soon, so I don't have to worry about finishing myself off.

Notre Dame would lose if they played at Roberts Stadium.

and are my predictions really a suprise to anyone?? How am I trying to get props for them??? I don't care who ND is playing in any sport, I will predict them to win! I don't bet on ND, so when I do bet sports I will post my bet on here, and if I lose I own up to it. My latest was Va Tech -2.5 and they won by 2, and I never backed down from that.

Dahoss, I feel bad for you. It is obvious you live your life through this message board. You obviously don't have any other relationships with anyone besides the members on here, and you are forced to watch porn because that is the only way you can get any kind of love. I will stop argueing you because I do pity you, that is all.

I don't question their heart or effort tonight. Tremendous. An outstanding team.
