Is Notre Dame for real?

CTNelson · 09-11-2006, 05:12 PM

Are they for real or are they a fraud? If they get by Michigan they should run the table until USC.

Can they beat Michigan & USC and compete for the NC this year?

The NC will be Notre Dame vs Ohio State

Rematch of last year's Fiesta Bowl. ND impressed me against Penn State, but they still have to play a couple tough teams like Michigan and USC. But if they lose to Michigan State again and are still in contention for the national title I would really tend to believe that the media unfairly favors Notre Dame. Plus, they've lost 8-straight bowl games. Weiss HAS to win one of those eventually or the ND faithful will grow restless.

I tend to think that ND should handle Michigan rather easily this weekend. Michigan has underperformed in recent years and has more question marks than ND. I predict that ND doubles up on Michigan 34-17. I think they're for real and the SC game should be another great one imo.

Well it looks like fraud but they should still run the table up to USC setting them up as possible spoilers if USC is unbeaten. Also I wouldn't count out a 1 loss team making the NC game just yet. With ND having a big name game to finish the season and depending on how conference championship games go ND is still in the NC hunt.

Michigan handled Michigan rather easily... surprise to me to. USC should still be an easy win. 3 picks by Quinn isn't looking very good for ND though... he needs to calm down as a Senior.

Michigan did play very well against Michigan didn't they?

I still say ND should join the Big Ten

Agreed, no more independents. Army and Navy back to Conference USA and Temple will be in the MAC next year. Independents shouldn't be allowed. And ND would still get huge attention in the Big Ten.

yea michigan trounced on ND and i loved it so say goodbye to your national championship aspirations Irish faithful

ND did not impress me AT ALL. If anything, they were lucky that Michigan State just ran out of steam in the forth quarter.

On the flip side, Michigan State DID impress me. I just wish they'd been able to hold out a little longer.

I may not have been on this forum before this year, but believe me, I said to everyone I knew that ND was overrated, and so far I look very smart, lol, but anyway, their Defense was very suspect, not a great Linebacking core for them, and the secondary is shaky. their O, I thoght would be good, but the D was what concerned me, and I bet ESPN felt stupid for hyping them up all preseason.

are you kidding me? it was clear that notre dame came out from halftime wanting that win more than mi state did. and that, my friend is why we won it.

Notre Dame will forever be overrated...for whatever reason everyone seems to have a love affair with that school

Jomichka · 11-08-2006, 10:40 PM

Seems that way to me too at times, I wonder what is the attraction to the team that catches so many peoples' imagination.

Daddy Duck · 11-09-2006, 01:20 PM

Notre Dame is way overrated, their defense is horrible and it seems like their winning on luck, not skill.
