Blanton's been nothing short of terrific. Great kid.

 

[AllGoldEverything]

harrison and blanton both had excellent games

 

[Kingbish01]

Robert Blanton might have just passed Polamalu as the nicest football player ever! Great game Robert!!!

So... this is what it feels like to not be angry the rest of a Saturday.


I'm going to go an pillage my wife.




Err...

Blanton was huge. Players of the game in this order are

1. Blanton
2. Lynch
3. H. Smith

I'd put Cierre #3 and H.Smith #4 due to Cierre's great 1st half and 2TDs.

Haha I kind of felt bad for Alex during that Blanton interview, oh well we don't need to him to talk just keep getting INTs. Good win for the Irish against a ranked opponent, still need to work out a few kinks but I'm still positive the Irish go 9-3 in '11.

 

[Riddickulous]

Michigan State boards are in utter meltdown mode. Once you find time, take some time to pore through their gameday thread. There's so many overreactions, it makes us look like eternal optimists.

You mean 10-2.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Blanton is real. This defense is real.. with youth. 10-2 not impossible.. push forward aggressively!

 

[Irish4Life09]

Don't forget who called this either...and many of you called me insane. I almost called the exact score too,I said it would be 34-13.

They may have outyardaged us (358 275) but we controlled them the entire game. Glad we got the monkey off our back.

Most of their yards were also late in the 4th when we played a nice prevent....We sure did control them the whole game though.Nice to see.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I can not get over how polished lynch looked, sweet 8lb baby jesus

 

[Me2SouthBend]

What a great day for the Irish. They need to stop the to's and they will be very difficult to stop. Imagine for a minute if it was Darby pulling down the pick at the end. I would pay money to see that footrace to the other end of the field. Blanton was huge. Great to get a verbal from Elmer. Hoping for another. Go Irish!

 

[The Gold Helmets]

Lets get drunk and celebrate!!!

Hells yeah. I will be at Mo's Irish pub in Noblesville celebrating the night away.

The one thing that worried me was the fact that we only managed 80 yards in the second half. Running game went to hell, and so did passing game. Who cares though, we beat the #15 team!

 

[MacIrish75]

Currently ordering a #12 jersey on ebay. Blanton made me forget last week.

I'm only still on the board because I am waiting to see what NDOM has to say. LOL

 

[ohara831]

Good hard fought win for ND. Now, if they can build off it, there is still time to make this a successful season.

 

[tadman95]

Good win. It was great seeing the freshmen play and excel! That has to help with the OV's this weekend.

 

[The Gold Helmets]

I'm so happy for Blanton. He's gonna have an amazing season, his interview with Alex Flanagan made me mist up a bit. yeah I'm not afraid to say it. haha!. Lynch is a freaking animal. He has some quicks.

 

[Irish Fam]

This is a great first win. Defense played great. MSU is a seriously talented team when it comes to running the ball and pro style offense. We played a very good game defensively. Props to Blanton. Helluva game dude.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Hells yeah. I will be at Mo's Irish pub in Noblesville celebrating the night away.

I'll probably see you there only 4 miles from my house. GO IRISH, I AM SO F'IN HAPPY. AND YES I AM YELLING.

 

[KPENN]

1.) He's pissed cause they won, so i don't think he'll be on for the rest of the night.
2.) He'll say it was a fluke, ND was lucky, yada yada

Yeah, I've have only been on this board for like a week and I was about to say the same thing about him not being around, lol. Classic. Textbook. Call it what you want. GO IRISH!!!

 

[Irish Man3]

We should be in the top 10 right now and sitting 3-0. Great win and all around performance. Not thrilled about the shell we go into with the lead late in the game, but pumped for the win.

 

[jmurphy75]

I almost started a "where are they now" thread for all those that didn't have the HEART to believe in these kids! I lost my voice yelling at the bar and am watching the game again! BE A TRUE FAN AND BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY CAN DO!
