The Season Is Almost Here!

[Riddickulous]

Twelve days! Twelve! In what might be the longest, most anticipated offseason in all of my years as an Irish fan. So much to look forward to. Such high hopes. Every little gameday tradition is nearly upon us.

From Clausen going deep to Tate to Hammond and Haden's annoying commentary to Damsha Bua, Notre Dame football is back for another exciting fall.

Oh God, every day from here to September 5th will be agony. Such long, heart-wrenching days. OH, THE AGONY OF MY IMPATIENCE!

Twelve days until Clausen unveils his new dart-throwing cannon. Twelve days until Golden Tate catches his first deep touchdown pass. Twelve days until Manti Te'o makes his first tackle. Twelve days until Damsha Bua roars in Notre Dame Stadium so many times.

SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

12 more days to wait ... like a dirty dozen, huh?

It's put up or shut up time. The talent is here, the talent is experienced, the talent needs to win, and win big.

If not, we have some serious problems.

I hope this team comes out nasty and teams finally fear us once again. Lets STOP losing at home. Teams once were in awe of the echoes at ND. Now teams come in expecting to win and don't fear the tradition. Things need to change.

Yup. This year's theme..."show me".

"I'm like Missouri, you have to show me first"

I like your thinking and Holiday Spirit. I wish I could say the same for your pitch, tone and ability to hit and hold a note. [Insert current terms for "No Big Deal" and "Just Fuckin' With Your Head" here.]

Oh, and could I alternate the 5 ice cold beers with 5 Jameson's, neat; and still be invited to the party? I promise to lose my lunch on your lawn, not your lanai.

Two whole weeks to wait for our bowl

My only wish for this season is to dismantle Michigan in such humiliating form, like they did to ND in '07.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

I have never seen this story before. Got me pumped up. Rocket talking about the fight before the '88 game against Miami. Classic Lou moment. Getting me even more pumped up for the season.

[03euroSVT]

F*ck yeah. I can't wait for this season to start. It shit like that video that gets me fired up.

 

[Irish4Life09]

11 days exactly from this point we should have a good idea how our season will go. I am way too stoked.cant wait for it.

 

[luckycharm81]

Yea me neither want to see what this season will bring. Living in Memphis its hard to find some serious Irish fans around here, its all UT or Memphis. Lets go Irish all the way to the BCS.

 

[Riddickulous]

So damn excited.
