If our only loss is to Northwestern with wins against VT, UM, FSU, Stanford, and USC idk if I would be absolutely thrilled or absolutely crushed.

1. After finishing 9-3, BK leaves South Bend and heads to Stanford, replacing D. Shaw who replaces J. Harbaugh at Michigan. Harbaugh's length of stay in Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital is unkonown at this time.

2. ND scrambles to find their HC and instead turn to a familiar sideline general. Lou Holtz agrees to coach two years max and be given the right to name his successor. Speculation runs wild in South Bend that Lou will somehow convince U Meyer that he is needed in South Bend and Meyer leaves Ohio State to become the Irish AD and coach in waiting.

3. Tom Loy is so excited about the changes in South Bend that he crystal ball's every five star recruit in next year's class to the Irish.

4. Irish Envy crashes due to the shear volume of posters trying to access the site. After coming back on line, only Koon can log on to the system. After several arguments with himself, he decides to impose a self ban, thus ending IE's run as the premier sports forum for Irish football.

5. In a rare offseason of no turmoil for Irish football, they open the season ranked # 1 nationally after coming off a 12-1 Holtz led season and a loss the Central Florida in the National Championship game.

6. Lou Holtz announces that he will step down immediately after the season opener in 2019 and U Meyer takes the helm and leads the Irish to an undefeated season and NC.

7. Shortly after, Notre Dame President John Jenkins announces he will retire and his last contribution to the university will be to shutter the football program and turn Notre Dame in to the most prestigious university in the world.

8. Former President Donald Trump is named the new President of Notre Dame and will work closely with Jenkins during the transition.

1. Coach Lea puts on the pads as a "walk-on", inserts himself into the starting lineup, and becomes an all american.

2. We win the national title on a safety caused by the aforementioned Lea.

3. Our new walk on fullback rushes for 2,000 yards.

If we win 10 games Kelly will go to the NFL.

More than likely we will have a bad-average season but win a bowl or upset USC which will keep Kelly from getting in the hot seat.

Week 1 we get blown out 35-7. Message board calls for Kelly and Wimbush Head. ND doesn’t flinch and peels off the next 11 wins to go 11-1 and play in the Playoff

We get Alabama in round one and lose 35-3. Message board returns to calling for Wimbush and Kelly’s Head

Wilkins and Bracy both start fall camp at corner, both are at least splitting time on offense by the opener.

ND goes 11-2 and beats Penn St in the Fiesta Bowl.

Clark Lea becomes the DC at Bama and the next day BK takes the Patriots job after Belichick replaces Sarah Huckabee as the next White House Press Secretary. Justin Fuentes is then appointed HC by Pope Francis over Jeff Brohm.

After every home game is played in a torrential downpour, Nicco Fertitta dips into his lunch money and installs a dome on the newly renamed Fertitta Field inside the UFC & Station Casino Stadium. Joe Rogan replaces Doug Flutie in the booth.

Blake Barnett transfers in after a year at USF with 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Justin Fuente fires Ron Powlus and replaces him with Davonte Neal.
Don't care about the rest of it, make the bold happen!

-ND wins 10 or 11 games
-Wimbush takes a big step forward and takes ND's offense to the next level
-We will games to "lesser" opponents and fans will call for BK's job for "not winning by enough"
-The Navy game will be the cause of heartburn and heartache
-Much of IE will call for us to stop playing Navy

I think Armstrong has a monster game. He’s going to continue to grow as a runner and there will be a lot more daylight tomorrow. Those will turn into house calls.
