Ya not a big fan of how we went down in both rankings...

 

[jason_h537]

Its not where we start but where we end

 

[no.1IrishFan]

I'm confident that after we get a few more wins in a row under our belt we"ll be right back up there. I feel good about us finishing somewhere in the top 15.

 

[phork]

Not a big fan of how ND dropped? Everyone and their brother knows that game should have been an L. Until the defense proves it can stop someone, then ND doesn't deserve to be in the top25.

So we should have won the Michigan game? A win is a win. If it should have been a loss then we would have lost.

Your exactly right. We just need to spank purdont this week and we'll start creeping back up the rankings.

 

[King&Expedition]

You have three weeks before you next scheduled loss so try and crack the top 25 before then. Thanks.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Hahahaha, you guys lost to a team that didn't win a SINGLE game last year, WAY TO GO!!!

Hahahaahaha, oh boy, I can't stop laughing at this dude's post and picture

Tweet! Flag! TAUNTING PENALTY! UNNECESSARY SMUGNESS!

To be assessed in three weeks ...

Becareful at who you laugh at. ND still has to play Washington.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I'm not laughing at USC because they lost to Washington, I'm laughing at the guy who is so confident his team can beat ND when they lost to a team that didn't win a game last year.

 

[phork]

Oh, well in that case you better be double careful since ND plays both said teams.

I agree. Everbody knows the Big 10 stole a "W" and tried to steal another one for MSU.
