Irish in the Gator bowl ....

[irish4ever]

as predicted by Mark Schlabach and Bruce Feldman ESPN:
Konica Minolta Gator (ACC vs. Big 12/Big East/Notre Dame)
-- Virginia Tech vs. Notre Dame (Schlabach predicts)
-- Miami (FL) vs. Notre Dame (Feldman predicts)

I'll take that, just as long as it's a WIN for the Irish (get that damn bowl-loss albatross off their back)!

Lou Holtz did pick us to win 11 games with one questionable one vs. USC. I almost cried. That is why we love Coach Holtz.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

This year is going to be a HUGE turning point for the Irish.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I like our chances against Miami to be honest

 

[Golden Domer93]

I actually would love to renew the rivalry against the Hurricanes in a bowl game.

 

[NDboy15]

Sounds good to me, win a fairly respectable bowl game and I agree get the monkey off their back.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Gator Bowl would be great against the 'Canes. I know the teams are not the same as in the late 80's, but it would still be fun.

oh good lord... what was The Giant walking dookies reaction????

 

[Golden Domer93]

I actually would love to play Miami like I said but I am also hoping and expecting a bigger bowl this season and even a BCS bid is in reach.

 

[irishfan]

Only chance of a BCS Bowl is if we are either...

11-0 going into USC game
10-1 and either beat USC or lose in a fairly close game
9-2 and beat USC

I could see us getting in if we were 8-3 and playing really well (close losses at beginning of the year) and then beat USC (similar to Illinois last year beating OSU), but it all comes down to us either beating USC or atleast playing a close game against them. But we could go 7-5 and probably still get into the Gator Bowl so I don't see us doing any worse than that.

 

[Golden Domer93]

Honestly guys, I think we can beat USC this season. I worry about a game like MSU or Purdue tripping us up.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

This is just getting ridiculous, we have not beat USC since forever, I admit they are not as strong as the past couple years but this team is top notch, it will take an awful lot to walk into So Cal and beat them.

How about this? If GD93's predictions are not even half correct, which is 11-1 season and also a win at USC... then he is no longer allowed to post for a whole year?

 

[JeremyND07]

How about this? If GD93's predictions are not even half correct, which is 11-1 season and also a win at USC... then he is no longer allowed to post for a whole year?

I suggest we limit his posts to 30 a day! Common sense is out the window here and it is getting old with these predictions!

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Do you really think limiting the quantity will increase the quality of posts by GD93?

 

[SoCalDomer]

enough guys.

 

[OCIrish]

enough guys.

:hug:

 

[Golden Domer93]

Thank you OCIrish. I am just trying to fit in and I may have gotten off to a rocky start and I apologize.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

GD93, you have perked up my week so I'm with you as well, I'm just getting tired of all the predictions.

 

[Golden Domer93]

Thanks man. College Football finally starts this weekend.

USC has 6 potential 1st day '09 NFL draft prospects on the defensive side of the ball, a lone. I hate to count out ND in any game, but the USC game has the potential to get really ugly--quickly--given their youth and lack of experience.

stanford 07. nuff said. Pete sucks as a coach. With the talent he has he should blow every team out by 40+ and win the NC every year by atleast 3 touchdowns.

 

[the-mick]

catholics vs convicts! + its in jax right? so i would be able to see the game in person, i'd be up for that.

 

[Golden Domer93]

I agree with notredomer23 100%

NO ONE,, NO ONE!!! gets up for standford... even we proved that in CW's first year... where as EVERYONE gets up for us...

we can never expect a let down from USC like that with us

 

[Golden Domer93]

stanford looked good yesterday against oregon state.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I only watched a little of the game but they do seem better than they were last year, it won't be a cupcake team

 

[irish4ever]

stanford looked good yesterday against oregon state.

Yeah, I thought that they looked fairly decent as compared to the last few years. Won't be an easy game for the Irish by any means. Not sure their "D" will hold up, especially coming to the Bend to play the game.
