o.k. I am probably going to be called the most optimistic fan here but I really believe the Irish can and will go 11-1 this season and be back in a bowl game. Honestly I see us no worse then 10-2 and that should still get us in the BCS again.

I feel this is a springboard season to competing again for National Titles in 2009 and especially 2010 and 2011.

someone is drinking the kool-aid. Let's just see how they do against SDSU first.

8-4 with a bowl game win.

So that would be 9-4 overall? I'm going with 8-5. 7 regular season wins then top it off with a nice bowl win. Bowl eligibility is the most important thing we can get this year, that way we get the extra month or so of practice that we didn't get last year, building towards 2009. If we beat SDSU by 30 or more I will re-adjust expectations.

ok, first, stop starting new threads everyday with new predictions. second, you first predicted 8-4 or 9-3, then yesterday you predicted 10-2. now you're 11-1. whatever you decide, just stick to it.

I expect a 9-3 season or 8-4 at worse and many breakout stars like Duval Kamara, Brian Smith and Robert Hughes to emerge as well as many of the freshman on defense. If we finish 9-3 it will be a springboard to a National Title run in 2009.

fightinirish98, glad your here but lets be a little more positive. I stand by my 11-1 or 10-2 prediction.

o.k. in an earlier thread I said what happens if ND finishes 6-6, well let me clear things up and say I am really optimistic about this season and predict we will go 10-2 and play in the BCS this season in leading us to a chance of a possible ND National Title in 2009.

I am now on record.

10-2 this season, mark my words

Haha, wow, you did get called out by So Cal... and I agree, these prediction threads need to stop, let's get excited about them playing and not all riled up about where they could be, let's leave that to the team to decide

damn pretty harsh guys, hes just a fan, don't hate on him for that, i'm all geeked up about the season too, and predicting the season is part of the fun, i think i took the most optimistic fan of the year award last year, but after last season i am a little more realistic with my predictions even though i would love to say 12-0 national champs and actually believe myself:D

there's 3 games we should definitely win, 6 games that could go either way, and then 3 games we probably have no chance in winning.

At the end of the day, you're looking at a 6-7 win team, with something to build upon for next season.

Hopefully the team can find some standouts--even amongst another mediocre season. It's fun having one of the best players/athletes in the nation (ala Brady Quinn, Rocket Ismail, Jerome Bettis, etc) to name a few.

This team is well positioned for '09 and beyond, though. Too much talent on the coaching staff, and recruiting classes to not be a perennial NC contender.

the-mick thanks for the back-up. I knew I would get some heat for making this prediction. I am probably the only fan here as positive to think we can and will go 11-1 this season and compete for another BCS spot and maybe just maybe a National Title one year earlier then people think.

I am right there with you. I have said it all along too and I went so far to call my shot that we are going to upset SC at the Coliseum this year! We are going to have a very special year and a lot of people are going to be stunned! This is a season we are going to talk about for many years to come.

We're going 16-0 but miss a BCS bowl appearance so we'll go to the NIT and hopefully make it all the way to Madison Square Garden.

BOOK IT BABY!!!!!!!!!

I am used to taking heat. I live in SC territory and I work for SC alums and I live next to SC alums. I wear my ND gear proudly and I can't wait for Thanksgiving weekend when the Irish pound the Trojans! Call me crazy or delusional. Say I am drinking the Kool aid, but I am ready for this season and we are going to shock a lot of people!!

GO IRISH!!!

no prob bro, we are all brothers on this site and we should all have the right to voice our opinions. if people just predicted 6-6 every year it would be no fun to watch or look forward to, im glad there's people like GD93 and Goirish or else i wouldnt enjoy this site. lets back eachother up here not call eachother out, you can respectfully disagree with someones opinion without trying to embarrass someone online. we have enough people calling us out already we need to stick together as irish fans thats what makes us different than any other fanbase thats what makes us different than any other program. GO IRISH!

Golden Domer you aren't just drinking the kool aid but that's the only thing you're drinking

No team in history has gone or will go from 3-9 to 12-0, unless they go from D 1 to D3.

8-4 would be good, 9-3 would be very good, and a bowl win to jump start 2009 would be icing on the cake.

GD if you really believe the Irish will be 12-0 in November you are setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment

the-mick has quickly become one of the my favorite posters here. I really appreciate the backup.

11-1 is gonna get us back in the BCS with an outside shot at the National Title.
