[September 23, 2006] #12 Notre Dame (2-1) at Michigan State (3-0)

This is easily one of the most emotionally draining games I've witnessed. One moment you're in it, the next you aren't, and right after that, you're back in it again.

Unfortunately, there is a time limit.....

 

[pappy]

Thank god someone noticed the hold

From what I've seen, there's been holding all f*cking night long. By the way, Boda, 3 were inducted. Count 'em. 1,2,3. PITIFUL

 

[DukeDomer]

Duke gets his arm held behind his back but no call. ND goes offside on a KO & they call that. It's certainly not a factor in this game, but these officials continue to suck in these games.

 

[luckofirish8]

that was just a great fucking call on 4th down....instead of pinning MSU in their end, we give them the ball practically at mid-field. Fucking genius. I can't believe I agree with Davie on something.

But hey, our punter is a friggin' stud.

The only arguement I can think of is that the punter is all boom. he just kick the ball as far as he can, which wouldn't help in that situation.

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

No way?!? A hold? On a big-10 team? They must be wrong.

 

[Pete]

first one of the season, i cannot fucking believe it

 

[BGIF]

Yes they do call holding penalties on Big 10 teams.


Just not often.

 

[Pete]

good hit rich

 

[ACamp1900]

Richie Smoked Drew there... That's what I like to see

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

That's Richardson's second big hit of the game on the QB.. not bad, not bad at all.

giving them the ball at the 20 would have been a bit better....though I think Price could have stuck it inside the 20. With the way the rain was coming down maybe MSU fumbles down there.

 

[Pete]

its coming back

 

[luckofirish8]

it's coming back...for holding probably.

 

[The Chosen One]

flag on the play....NO

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

Jesus.. nothing's going our way.

1,000th post, btw.

 

[irishfan]

so if we do score a td early in the 4th quarter do we go for 2 or kick the extra point?

 

[VictorsValiant]

That hurts, but MSU can't hold leads. That's what happens when your offense is so hit or miss and when your defense sucks.

Nd has to score here.

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

I'm going to be very cynical... but I think the rain might seal our fate.

 

[Pete]

5th most penalized team in the nation

 

[luckofirish8]

yeah I understand...I was just trying to find an example of why he made that decision

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm going to be very cynical... but I think the rain might seal our fate.

beat me to that one

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

I thought we were the only penalized team in the nation.

I'm going to be very cynical... but I think the rain might seal our fate.

Cynical? Not sure if I agree with that. Sometimes the truth hurts! Who the hell is he passing to out there?

Won't happen...this game is done.

The only way we win right now, is if we put some 8 foot tall receivers on the field.

Maybe Quinn needs contacts?

 

[BGIF]

beat me to that one

The rain or very cynical?

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

Cynical? Not sure if I agree with that. Sometimes the truth hurts! Who the hell is he passing to out there?

If the receivers were on stilts we would be much better off this season.

 

[Steve]

lol the wind shifted

 

[luckofirish8]

the conditions are terrible right now

 

[ACamp1900]

The rain or very cynical?

lol... sure...

 

[pappy]

If the receivers were on stilts we would be much better off this season.

I'm 5'10", 135 lbs, 31 years old, and I could throw the ball better than most of his passes tonight. Hell, last week to for that matter.
