We will at most have to replace 3... I think only 2... Will be shocked if Watt doesn't return. Could see Martin leaving but I think he will come back too.

That's still 2 out of 5, and I haven't seen any of the backups getting much PT, to get them ready for next year.

This is by far the brightest this program has looked since probably 1993, maybe even earlier. Given the coaching staff we have in place and the unbelievable talent being reeled in I'd be disappointed if we didn't win a national championship in the next few years. And multiple ones, at that. I know it's hard to build a consistent power in today's college football, but all signs point to Brian Kelly doing that right now.

Why are you guys talkin' about dumb stuff?

I'm thinking about purchasing these sunglasses. They are $20 and I love them.

You want to burn a redshirt, eh Charlie?

Ronnie Stanley is the only backup that is a Freshman, so I doubt that burning a redshirt is much of a factor. I would really like to see some of those guys get some reps, even if it is in garbage time. But Kelly and the other coaches obviously know much better than I, how well the backups are coming along. Maybe they feel that the group doesn't need live reps to get ready for next year? If so, I am glad to hear that.

Best $20 you'll ever spend, in my opinion. They'll be perfect to wear outside while sipping the green Kool-Aid.

The worst part of this season is it is 75% over +1. Remember how long the off season is? Brutal...

I'm going to savor every second of it, good and bad!

I just got so depressed. The offseason is going to be loooooooooooooooong.

Then again, crystal footballs make long offseasons a bit more bearable, or so I've heard.

I just bought a pair of those two nights ago. Living Social (just like Groupon) has a $10 for $20 deal on them.

0-12. All wins will be forfeited once the media finds out the defense was taking awesome pills

The potential EE's in the 2013 will make the Offseason very interesting. We will be foaming at the mouth watching Jack Nolan's spring practice videos to catch glimpses of these guys..and also what Sweater JN is rocking.

Or perhaps, follow alabama's example and schedule three or four of them every year.

I concur….still don’t understand why we are not getting the recognition on a schedule like this years. Played teams from 5 of 6 of automatic qualifying conferences with the exception being the SEC. (the greatest conference since sliced bread) BYU and Navy are not midlevel mac teams or some tech school for the blind. Correct me if im wrong, but I heard that teams who play an FCS teams do not get credit to the points earned in the polls for those games. Another reason for the playoffs I suppose?

To be honest I would rather ND break the BCS curse this year rather then get our asses handed to us in the championship game. I just don’t feel like they are ready for that spotlight. After watching Alabama and Oregon play as a college football fan i think that would be a good game to see.

It's always a one-way street with most of CFB pundits regarding Notre Dame. Before the season started the word was that the Irish schedule is too brutally tough, and they aren't all that good anyway, so they'll be lucky to finish above .500. Now that ND is 9-0 and all the teams we've beaten aren't 8-1, the clamor is that our SOS isn't that impressive and the Irish aren't a championship caliber team, blah, blah, blah. It's one of the bizarre things about being a Notre Dame fan; the Irish are simultaneously the 800 pound gorilla and the irrelevant outsider that all the other kids pick on.
