Forever Notre Dame

Notre Dame is 0-4 for the first time in school history. Notre Dame has give up thirty or more points in all of their games. Notre Dame gives up the most sacks in the country. Notre Dame might not win a game this year. Charlie Weis should be fired.

Let me address all of these statement very quickly...SHUT UP! I am a fan, and I always will be. I will always back my team, through the good and the bad. Yes we are having a down year, so what. I have never seen so much promise on the field. Everywhere I look I see players that are going to play their guts out, and soon, be winners.

At running back we have depth that we have not had in years. We have speed, we have strength, and we have youth. Youth and speed might be the most obvious right now. Soon, however, experience is going to come into the factor and that is a scary thought for oposing defenses when you start to think about Allen and Hughes.

At wideout we have play makers waiting to make the plays they have dreamed about their whole lives. Kamara, Parris, Tate are all going to be threats in the near future. Again we have speed, hands, ability in this position. Again, we have inexperience. Give it time, give it time.

The O-line has had a rough start, but four of the five starters could be back. Not to mention the underclassmen that are rotating in right now. Young is going to be a god, and after watching the MSU game, Carufel is going to be very very good.

D-line is coming together. We are very young at the stage, and we just switched to the 3-4. We have recriuts coming in to phil the holes. Ian Williams is progressing nicely and we are starting to see him in more and more plays. Hunter, Williams, and Newman will get immediate playing next year.

Linebackers! We are bleeding youth at the position. Kerry Neal had an excellent game versus State, and Brian Smith stuck his nose into some plays too. Again, we just switched to the 3-4, give it time, give it time.

DB's are the best they have looked in years. We are not there yet, but we are not out of postion every other play either. Darrin Walls is a soon to be stud, and we all saw the catch the Bruton made.

QUARTERBACK, shhhhhhhhh! I am so tired of hearing people yell at Jimmy. The kid is doing what is asked of him. I can see that we are not throwing the ball down the field, I can see that he is holding it to long every now and then, I can see that he needs to throw it away. I can see all those things too. Heres what I have to say about that, could YOU DO IT???? Could you do any better? Were you offered a scholarship to play for Notre Dame? No you weren't. The kid is really good, and he is having some growing pains, get off his back about it. And you would bring up Ryan Mallet from Michigan wouldn't you! That offense had all their returning starters back, nuf said!

Notre Dame football is alive and well. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. You are witnessing the building of a dyNASTY. Things always get worse before they get better. Soon, very soon we are going to be NASTY GOOD!!!
