[ACamp1900]

Remeber the South Park Ep. where Cartmen gets the kid to eat his own parents, then says "Oh your tears! they taste so sweet!!"

That's how I feel about the haters right now!! Good night all

 

[IrishCPA]

A win and no more Ralph. What a great night. So is Brady back in the race at all now???

 

[IrishCPA]

I know my kids are going to be getting up early, but I am way to psyched to go to bed now.

 

[DukeDomer]

Svoboda, I hope the young guys on this board learned a lot from you tonight about how to be a true fan and to never give up. Good job!!

who wants those pictures! haha

 

[guff]

I'm glad I didn't quit on them because they showed HEART! That was an awesome performance. Yeah, they made a ton of mistakes and there were times when it looked like the wheels were about to fall off the wagon but the square their asses away and won the ballgame.

PS - Thanks John L. for coaching not lose instead of to win.

 

[BGIF]

A win and no more Ralph. ...

HOW SWEET IT IS!

I loved the looks on the MSU fans faces, I know those looks, those are the looks of Davieham

F-A-I-T-H

This is the motto for IrishEnvy in 2006. Live by Faith, Die by Faith. If you ain't got Faith, move to SoCal and root for the Trojanettes.

 

[luckofirish8]

I had a good feeling earlier and with the help of Svo and others on this page, I was able to keep the faith. Congrats to Lambert, he had to have had a very tough week. Go Irish!!!

 

[ACamp1900]

And how real fans feel about the whinner quitters.

what part about pointing out when my teams plays bad don't you guys understand? Did I quit? No... Did I say we were playing bad when we were, yes... Since when can't a fan point out the obvious about his team? you guys crack me up...

 

[guff]

I'm a very proud Irish fan right now. They proved a lot to me. To paraphase Gunnery Sgt Hartman - "they've got guts, and guts is enough".

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

Divine. That's all I can say.

Go out tonight and spend a moment looking at the stars.

 

[NDgettysburg]

I love reading the posts of all the B10 fans on other boards from back when the game looked like it was over in a walk....not MSU fans, but of other teams spouting about how great the B10 is since even MSU can beat ND. Very quiet now.

 

[lattedatte]

The only thing I'm a tad peeved about is that giola missed the extra point since I was giving three.. I'll take a push and a ND win anyday though..

Yeah I've been having some fun on the ESPN boards with all the haters... I honestly think they would rather see ND lose then see thier respective team win....

 

[VictorsValiant]

The Wolverine fans are laughing right now, and nothing else.

Well, this is kind of a parting shot. I won't post here anymore unless you guys win out leading up to the USC game. I won't watch any more of your games since you don't play common opponents anymore (I usually watch for scouting purposes).

Couple of observations though:

Great win, great comeback, great momentum boost, but a bit of reality.

Your defense sucked tonight. Other teams aren't going to give you the game the way MSU did. Your secondary was torched, once again, and your LBs did nothing.
Your OL was horrendous tonight. They should have dominated the entire game against those terrible DL, but they didn't.
No running game, once again.

Unless these problems are fixed, I think Purdue or UCLA will pick you off. Momentum helps, but there are underlying problems. The point is, MSU is not a very good team. If Nd was that good, this game shouldn't have been close. There are way too many holes on this team. There must be corrections or losses will ensue, even with inferior opponents. And this is certainly not good enough for USC.

I think we saw who the true Irish fans were tonight. These are the fans like Svboda who didn't stop believing, people who might have listened to me when I said MSU has a history of choking. Irish fans are a interesting bunch. They're so swayed by emotion.

So adieu, and good luck.
