No matter what I'm still happy about this season. I'm proud that notre dame does it the right way, just look at players nd could have had in AQM and Tee.

I think its time to drink a beer...salute the guys for a great year, and swallow the bitter pill...

Alabama is better because the moment was not too big for them...It was clearly too big for ND.

We did not control the emotions, and it lead to more missed tackles than I've seen all year...I figured the O would be hit and miss...counted on the D to get stops...Ugh!

I'm so ****ing embarrassed. I never thought it was a great win, and I thought I might have some heartbreak with a loss, but I never thought we'd get totally destroyed. Never thought we were this far away. I thought we could compete but ****, this is embarrassing.

Relax people! Horrible first half but let's see how our boys respond in the second half! No matter the final score this team exceeded most of our predictions this year.

If you think you are disappointed, think about the guys in the locker room. Go Irish.

4 quick points:
-I'm shocked at the lack of effort by the D.

-Where's the spread option?

-I just lost 3 billion v-bucks.

-Thank God hockey is back.

Still love my Irish, but this is pretty hard to watch. Missed tackles, penalties, play calling....

Short of a miracle 2nd half,,,,,, All I can say is that I'm happy I stayed humble to my friends from Bama. I'm taking "over rated" out of my vocab relevant to the SEC. Well, maybe not Florida.

If our boys can play as good in the 2nd half as they played badly in the 1st, we still have a chance,

For the whinners:

On 1/1/73 #12 ND played #9 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Parshegian's boys were whipped 40-6.

The next year they went 11-0 including a Sugar Bowl win over Alabama.

Eh I overreacted in the first half. Don't get me wrong... I don't think there's anyway we can win but eh oh well. These things happen and there's nothing I can do about it. People at work will talk crap but hey there's nothing I can do about that. That's why I don't talk crap before games.

It was a good year, I finally got to see one of my teams make a championship again (last time was the Gophers men hockey's team which won back to back championships in '02 and '03) so there's always that. I didn't think we could go to the 'ship at the beginning of the year and we made. Hopefully we play with some pride in the second half and make it a little more interesting.

I love this team and I'm thankful for all the great moments this season. Looking forward to watching them for 30 more minutes.

GO IRISH

Me too. I'll be sad to see this game end regardless of how the second half goes.

Not sure what to say. We've had a few games like this too in my lifetime, so we know how it feels. I thought we would win, but not like this. I've seen ND play this year and this isn't the team I saw. Just one of those nights.

To help wash down the bitter pill.

No doubt. I'm neither angry or upset. A little let down but all in all, what more could you ask out of this group? Hats off to them and 'Bama. It's who I wanted and I got my wish.

The sun will rise tomorrow.

You're a good man, Bishop!
