Moving on to a topic I've been receiving a ton of emails about...Notre Dame Football. I remember when I was a freshman we were going through the same sort of situation. We were young, a whole lot of inexperience, and a group of guys who needed to have a leader step up. When I watch these games from home I try to watch them both as a player and as a fan. The player in me can actually see a lot of promise from the young guys, and the fan in me still wants those guys to win every game. The fact is though these guys are playing hard, and doing everything they can to win. Trust me they want to win just as bad as you do, if not more. As the weeks move on you're really starting to see guys like Trevor and Tommy start to step up as leaders and role models for the younger guys. I know when I was there I tried to do the same thing for some of the guys like Robby. I think when you're coming down to your last couple games in the ND uniform you want to leave something behind that one of the guys will use to their advantage and take with them. In the Navy game I really noticed guys like Kyle McCarthy and Pat Kuntz starting to take after Zib and Trev. That's a pretty cool feeling and will only help them in the long run. Lookout for those guys to have strong upcoming seasons.
So for all you ND fans out there who are pulling your hair out, just try to stay onboard for a little while longer. I promise you'll see improvements that will get you fired up for the next week to come. Kind of like golf, when you always seem to hit that sweet shot on the 18th hole that brings you back next week. Same with this young ND team.
