Bittersweet weekend for the Irish


After this weekend's disastrous game aginst USC many Notre Dame fans were left with mixed feelings of anger, disappointment, and embarrassment. It just basically put everyone in an apathetic or surly mood. But don't get too down Irish fans, and for those that want to fire Charlie Weis you better think again because the Irish spirits were uplifted this evening when they learned that Notre Dame had picked up a verbal commitment from one of their most important recruiting targets of the year. It came from Michael Floyd, a 6'3" 195lbs game breaking, big play reciever from St. Paul, Minnesota. Michael attends Cretin-Derham Hall, which has usually proved of late to be a pipeline school for Notre Dame, but this one looked as if it was going to be a battle to the end with Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan, and Florida as the main competition. With his verbal commitment Michael becomes the 20th member of the Irish's number one recruiting class, and he adds big play ability to a much needed position of need. Michael mentioned that one of the reason's he went ahead and commited is because he was able to get to know more of the guys in this year's class, and from I've heard RJ Blanton and his mom were working on him pretty hard this weekend as well as many other recuits.

Wow! I must say that Mike is already a legend to this die hard ND fan. I was starting to feel that nothing was going to go right with this program. I posted earlier today that if Evan would start out the season I would boycott the rest of the 2007 season. This season has been hard on all of us and I have criticized CW's play calling and decision making for the past couple of weeks. I don't know if that criticism was warranted or not, but I do know that CW cares deeply about this program and is working his ass off to restore the glory of Notre Dame Football.

Mike thanks for coming to the rescue and reminding me how great it is to be a Notre Dame football fan.

CW thanks for the long thankless hours at work when people like myself a second guessing you.
I'M READY TO WAKE UP THE ECHOES

I think they'll land some combination of 1RB, 1WR, and 1OL ; 1RB, and 2OL; or 1WR, and 2OL.

Weis won the quote of the week from Rivals.com.
I love this!

Quotes of the weekend

"I'm going to answer that very cautiously, because I don't want to be called sarcastic using New Jersey rhetoric. So let me just say people better enjoy it now, have their fun now." - Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, when asked if he believes the Irish have hit rock bottom.

I've been saying the same thing all year. You better get your shots in now because pretty soon ND will be at or near the top again.
