First Things first. I am a life long ND fan. But I am realistic.
What does history tell us about ND football?
They won 7 championships in a 25 year period from 1924-1949 (1924, 1929, 1930, 1943, 1946, ,1947, 1949)
3 Heisman Trophy winners (Bertelli 1943, Lujack 1947, Hart 1949)
The following 25 year period they won 2 championships. 1950-1975 (1966,

I cannot tell you how piss off I am at this team. You can see the talent level off both teams and you scratch your hread how you can lose. You see all the yards they put up but little points. This was a collective crap from everyone including Clauson. This team has to get fired up like every team is USC and stop trying to be buddy buddy with Navy.
The pre game kiss up with NAVY has to

So let's see if the percent went up on Weis getting canned.
Weis can't stay in the top 25 and he has two players who they said have a chance at the Heisman Clausen and Tate. And, ND fans know that Floyd is probably their best WR. Plus you got a Monster at TE in Rudolph. All of these players are in the top 10 at their position.
Even If you had a pop warner Def

It was a tough game to watch. I blame this game on the players. They made too many mistakes. If I was the coaches I would make them run alot. 6 times in the redzone 0 points. Not good. We had our shot and we blew it. We out played them and we just made mistakes. I hate to say this but if we lose any more games the rest of the way Weis needs to go. I dont blame him for this game but we

Growing up Catholic, I was a huge ND fan for many years. I am a huge Gator fan, but still like to root for the Golden Domers when they are playing in big games. However, watching last Saturday's performance a few things jumped out at me. The young men from the Naval Academy had so much more "WANT TO". That game meant more to them than it did Notre Dame. Just

Seriously... Where are they?? Hopefully now... You'll actually be able to look at ND objectivley and see that they would never be elite under Charlie Weis. He is an offensive coordinator. Anyone that ACTUALLY played the game even past junior high could see that ND would never be elite under Charlie Weis. It is sad... Really is how far from the elite Notre Dame has fallen. Basically ND is a richer

Charlie Weis' comments from his media briefing today included:
On Jimmy Clausen - "He had a bruised left hand at the end of the day - he was a little silly for a minute down by the goal line."
On Notre Dame's offensive struggles - "In the red zone, we hardly ever turn the ball over. This was an unusual set of circumstances. Jimmy took a vicious blow and turn

I understand how important it is to stretch the field both vertically and horizontally. I understand why they run that WR Screen play, It's a good play. However, Notre Dame doesn't do a good job with that play cause if the WR misses the pass it's a fumble. We saw this happen for a TD against Washington. I was going NUTS on that play cause that SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN! I bl

As I read most threads and posts on your guys board I swear if I didn't know better i was looking at my own board. We both are very unhappy with our coahes, both have the two most storied and richest past and both need to return to the top of college football. And both might be looking for new coaches, probably ND more than us. It's amazing with all the talent ND has that they just got jailsexed b

Why is no one talking about Charlie Strong as a potential coach for ND? He has been credited by many analysts for being a major reason for Florida's continued success. He already knows Meyer's scheme from the inside, and he comes at a much smaller price tag. He worked as an assistant under Lou Holtz in the mid 90s. And he's been around the game long enough, and been success

...but he will be. Let's face it guys, Swarbrick does not have the balls to make the change. Definitely not midseason, and probably not this year at all. If we win just two more of our remaining three games and go to the Gator Bowl with an 8-4 record, the administration will probably consider this season to be a success.
Now, I know Charlie didn't turn the ball over three t

Charlie didn't have his team ready to play today. Right out of the gate they were flat. ND outweighed Navy by about 50 pounds on their O-line and yet Charlie Weiss just kept throwing the football. Him and Andy Reid are the same guy in terms of play calling. The get so caught in their passing game that they neglect the running game. ND could've run the ball all da

I disagree with many of the posts claiming we would lose verbal commitments or players due to transfer should Charlie Weis be terminated. That is paranoia. Weis has been heavily criticized for his recruiting practices. He loves the phone and hates to travel. I am not impressed with either side of the ball in terms of play calling. Can you find a bright spot? &nb

I have a feeling the mental makeup of this team will not overcome the Navy loss and will lose another close one to Pitt. There is an example: last years team.
I see ND losing to Pitt, toss up against UConn and losing to Stanford. Finishing 0-3 or 1-2 the rest of the way will ensure Weis gets canned if not already by losing to the three biggest rivalries in USC, Mich and Navy in the

Weis is gone, the issue is settled. Losing to Navy at home twice is beyond unacceptable. I hear some talk about a 10 win season - doesn't matter to me and I think it is a dream anyway with the next 3 games we have.
Don't believe the trash you hear from the ND hater that ND does not have talent. We get great athletes year after year and have 1 5-star and 7 4-s
