[September 16, 2006] #10 Michigan (2-0) at #4 Notre Dame (2-0)

Yea, this one is about over. The team did not come to play today at all. I'm incredibly disappointed in the coaching and the execution. It's like they didn't practice at all, or didn't care.

This game is no were near to being over!!! Too many mistakes. Michigan willmake them too!

What is it with this team....we constantly do nothing in the 1st Quarter of games....we need a stop here.

which is why the game is not over

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

This is the worst possible performance so far. Just abysmal. Now penalties in the red zone on D. Just pathetic. This team did not come to play. Frankly, so far, neither did Michigan, particularly. It's been all bad play by ND.

 

[KMac151993]

This team has a bunch of talent but does not have a championship attitude....right now we are getting our asses kicked and doing nothing about it.

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

20/21-7

Score a TD next possession, or lose by 42. Up to you, Brady.

 

[VictorsValiant]

Whenever you have a potent offense, you can always come back.

 

[DukeDomer]

Better to F__ up early than late!!

Don't panic. Let's establish a good long drive now.

 

[lattedatte]

wow....

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

Not only is play, overall, bad, but on EACH play ND is doing something bad. A penalty, a miscue. This is just amazing to me. Weis has a lot of explaining to do.

 

[Irish Envy]

Was that throw to Manningham catchable? Further, are you not allowed to jam the receiver within the 5 yards of the line? Or does that not apply by the goal line?

 

[luckofirish8]

for us to have worked on kickoff and punt returns we have about a million mistakes on them

 

[DukeDomer]

ND looks like the Giants last Sunday. Just killing themselves all over the place.

It was the right call, you cannot hold like that regardless of the where you are on the field..

 

[VictorsValiant]

yes, the ball was catchable because it was throw high so that Manningham can go up and get it. Because he was jammed and pushed, he did not have an opportunity to make the catch. We run that play all the time. The reciever sometimes runs 10 yards to fetch it after the ball is in the air.

 

[KMac151993]

It appeared that the ball could have been catchable...and that wasn't jamming the WR that was straight up holding/obstructing him.

 

[Irish Envy]

Congrats to Michigan on the good 1st quarter. They are capitalizing on our mistakes like any quality football team should. 20-7 after one.

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

Whenever you have a potent offense, you can always come back.

Dude, if you're here gleefully reading hoping to see us praising your team, you're not going to see it. Your team hasn't done a damn thing. Hart isn't running, Henne's played horribly, and your o-line has been porous. You're up by two touchdowns because Brady fired too hard and behind Carlson and gave up an easy and lucky six, Grimes fumbled a KO return, and Wooden is a moron. Go to some Michigan board and be there. If you have no friends on your own side, that's your issue. Your team hasn't had a sustained drive yet.

 

[DukeDomer]

You're right, that ball was uncatchable out of the back of the endzone!! WTF

And how about making the call when it happens, trhe flag came in late as hell!!

 

[KMac151993]

Did the coaching staff do anything during the week...do they realize there is a game going on....19 total yards in a qrt is Willingham like....very disapointed in this team right now, but they still have 3 qrt. to make things right. Lets buckle down and get something going in the positive direction.

 

[VictorsValiant]

What the hell is your problem ralphwaldo. You criticize your team like hell, but you can't take some good humor from a fan from the opposing team?

Our DL is beating Nd's OL.

How about lets wait to see if they lose before we throw CW under the bus.

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

Well this is going to get ugly - uglier, rather. Just pathetic. Where are the coaches?

 

[KMac151993]

What kind of play call is that....terrible; this is very close to getting ugly.

 

[lattedatte]

i can't believe he didn't have a fullback in there...

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

It's not good humor, you jackass. You have no reason to be here. This is a Notre Dame board, and Notre Dame is playing your team and playing horribly. We don't need your childish ass trolling this messageboard gloating over our mistakes and revelling in our unhappiness. Take your schadenfreude and stick it somewhere. Just go away.

 

[marv81s]

Is the team still sleeping? They are getting taken out to the woodshed so far!

 

[ralphwaldoemerson]

How about lets wait to see if they lose before we throw CW under the bus.

Are you kidding? He'll have explaining to do whether they win or lose. This is the worst quarter+ of Irish football I've seen in a long time. It's like Ty's back.

 

[Irish Envy]

I think we're on pace to set a commercial record. My God, the number of stoppages and amount of commericals is absolutely insane. I'm having difficulty watching.

Who really cares what he says....if you dislike him just ignore him but stop all this stupid bitching...the more important issue right now is the ass beating Michigan is handing us on the field.
