No it's not. They thumped us 38-0 last year. And the game wasn't even THAT close. So they have a new coach, and a new system? Remember what CW did, in his first year? So you think Rich Rod is no CW? Well, at least Rich Rod has won a bowl game. I'm not saying that I won't be hoping for an Irish win, or that I don't think we can beat Michigan. I'm just saying let's not count that as even a probable win, just yet.

Pittsburgh. I figure at that point we will either be rolling (7-0 or 6-1 or 5-2) or hovering right around .500 (4-3 or 3-4) Pittsburgh's first 7 games are all winnable, and I would be amazed if they are not atleast 6-1 if not 7-0. They should be ranked in the Top 25 at this point. Could be an important swing game to decide if we make a push for the Gator Bowl or even a BCS Bowl, or if we have to settle for a low-tier bowl game.

For me, its ALWAYS USC. I hate those condomns with a passion. I just do not have any respect for their players or their fans. (I lived there for 10 years) I would love for us 2 upset them and see Poodle cry...I wanna make that game a few years ago a distant memory. PLEASE IRISH! I believe!!

SDSU, just ask michigan what happens when you underestimate an opponent in the first week. God I love bringing that up every chance I get!

I would say Michigan. Cause what happens if they blow us out of the water again?

OMG. If we lose to SDSU, the team goes 0-12.

I think everyone will be looking past SDSU...except the team. This is a game where I think the team plays with a chip on their shoulder (the first of 13 this season), I just hope the game does not get ugly. As I said earlier, a 31-10 kind of W is a good start to the season, with plenty for CW to criticize to keep the team on an even keel headed into the Michigan game. I mean, really. This is a game that should have 49-7 written all over it. ON offense, SDSU is not Appalachian State or Stanford, for that matter. Cynicsm after an abysmal year is to be expected, everyone, but come on! We are ND. Let's get the swagger back. Expect to win.
