to all the MSU fans on this board. Last year was a refs error. This year, were gonna beat the **** out of you.

Leaving for South Bend tomorrow morning. I really, really hope we win this game. I don't think I'd be able to take marinating in a loss and an 0-3 record on the 5 hr car ride back to Ohio.

DON'T HOPE...EXPECT A WIN. And don't give me any $hit about the past two weeks. We beat outselves. We Are....N.D.

Less talk and more bite. Just effen win and take this sunken feeling out of mine and many other fans stomachs. The talent is there, the coaching is there, one thing I can say however is the fans in the stadium are shall we say white glove fans.

Going to a Notre Dame football game should not be considered a whit glove affair. I am watching the Miss St and LSU game and the Miss St fans are off the hook, causing LSU to loose snap count, loose momentum, and so on. Heres to those of us who would scream our heads off in order to support our team (ND). And I give the finger to those who DO NOT!

GO IRISH!!!

I think I'm mentally damaged from the last two weeks, the 4th quarter of last weeks game has caused me to have a nervous twitch, but I'm ready and confident. THIS IS OUR WEEK!! THE SPARTANS ARE GOING DOWN!! NDOM IS MOVING WAY DOWN THE FORBES LIST OF WEALTHIEST VBUCKS STONERS AND I WILL BE DRINKING BEER SATURDAY NIGHT!! GO IRISH!!

Just saw Ricky Watters roaming the halls of the Gug with Reggie Brooks. Wonder if we could sneak him on field tomorrow bit.ly/oi7m91

How awesome it must be to be an all-world collegiate athlete and get invited back to your alma matter anytime you want with full access...

 

[Wolverine1997]

It seems like nobody is talking about this game around here which is surpsing. I think it'll be a good game.

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

We are going to whip the Spartans!!!

 

[phork]

Well gang to sum up this game, this is the first real game on the schedule for ND. While we can say "Shoulda, woulda, coulda" for USF and UM, neither one of those teams is going far, but we lost to them. MSU is by far the more complete and accomplished team.

This weekend we find out what kind of football team ND is. Don't get sucked into the -5 spread, thats a dummy spread induced to get MSU money to even out the books. The unfortunate thing for ND this week is that if we don't hold on to the ball MSU will KILL us.

Yahoo!'s Matt Hinton (aka Dr. Saturday) has picked us to beat State, along with virtually every other CFB analyst.

I'm beginning to dread being favored.

A very nice post on just how little we all know about anything in college football: http://bit.ly/p1j30m

Give it a read. For all the analysis we do, luck/fate/circumstance or whatever you want to call it has a huge impact on every program's fortunes.

PLZ Play Lynch for atleast 30% of the snaps. I'd prefer 75%, but anything is better then NO PLAYS AT ALL.

"They're going to play a much larger role in the game this Saturday then they were going to last Saturday," Diaco said.
