What game in 2010 do you fear? What game are you most excited for? - Page 3 - Irish Envy

At least if we drop some of these games its a mulligan year.

Dont really fear any game..... one that will determine how our season will go i really believe is the UM game. RichRod has got his kids there now. We have more talent, but he has his style of players in a system they should now be used to.

MSU, BC, and Stanford will all be legit next year as well. Pitt as well. We have to make it through the gauntlet that is the beginning of the season and then we will see were we stand for SC.

Most nervous about USC.....until we beat them, they will be a monkey on our back.

Most excited about USC, for the same reason as above.

I'll be going to the Western Michigan game, next year. My buddy is a WMU Football alumnus, so he and I will be going to that game.

...It could be one of those bite you games. No upside, but horendous down side. I see that game, if the previous games go well, as a measuring stick for BK's motivational capabilities.

...you can bet Utah will come in there ready to smack people in the mouth...lets face it, their program's identity (along with most of the mountain west) has become "giant killers"...and in college football, there is no greater giant (mythical or not) than us. They have talent on both sides of the ball returning...

...and of course I have selfish motivation for the fear, since I live in Utah, and my wife's family are all Utes. Also, I'm planning on bringing my Father-in-law to that game...to lose would suck on every level...

i don't fear any games b/c Brian Kelly is in charge. There are no "lone wolf" coaches, no dissension, just a staff focused on the same thing and a winning culture being instilled in these players. ND will execute and won't beat themselves this fall. Yeah i'm sipping kool aid right now, but we will see a vastly improved product on the field this fall.

fear is not the word i would use, i think anxious is more appropriate, I'm anxious to see the purdue game to see what we are. Its an exciting time to be an Irish fan.

The rivalry games are always the most anticipated for me, we get um at home, msu will be tough.

But the last game is the one i am looking forward to. i want to see how kelly does against arguably the best program this decade in terms of winning. they cheated to win but they still won.

usc is head and shoulders above any team Kelly has coached against, if he's gonna be a successful coach at ND he will have to get out of south central with a win.
