ND will make it to a bowl game next year, maybe not one of the best ones but they will make one and win it snapping the terrible bowl game streak. The recruits just keep coming in, and the freshman will have matured a lot.

GO IRISH!!!

You are right. They should escape without a loss on Oct 18, but only if they are lucky...

That Oct 18th date is going to be a tough one for the Irish. But seriously, what a weak schedule. Michigan on a possible down year, Stanford, North Carolina etc etc. Only hard game is USC.

My prediction is that Notre Dame will forever stink like Rodney Rogers' triple overtime armpits. I also predict that any Bowl game that they sneak their way into in the future, it will be because of their name and fanbase. (Sheep being led to slaughter.) My last prediction is that Charlie Weis will either lose weight or lose his job. The latter of which sounds more believable.

funny thing tho.
every school gets recruits, and every freshman matures a bit. certainly not an exclusive happening for a school who needs to apologize to real irishmen and women everywhere.

Obviously everyone gets recruits, I'm talking about the caliber of recruits. Go check all the websites you rely on for your information, they will tell you who has the best recruiting class.

good point.

because their recruiting classes have been rated so poorly the last 2 years.

or is it 3?

this will make all the difference.

You guys had a top recruiting class this year too. Didn't do you any favors...

Until they 'WISE' up and get rid of Charlie Weis, I don't see very many positive things happening for the Irish.

They don't want to have playoffs to protect that collection of garbage games? There are about four that interest me.

I wish they had the old bowl system. I loved getting up at 10 am and watching football until midnight. Having two or three t.v's in one room and keeping and eye on all of them. Now it just sucks. Match-ups that people do not want. VaTech v Kansas--who cares about that one other than people who went to VaTech and Kansas.
