Since 6 is my favorite number, I will only make 6 predictions. And I will be doing it without any powers granted to me by Satan, Chucky, or a hockey mask.

(Disclaimer: In no way is Irish666 making fun of others or their belief of numbers.)

1.The defense will be in the top 6. With the returning starters (8?), Manti, and the depth they have added on that side of the ball, I envision an aggressive D, that will cause alot of 3 and outs.

2. I foresee 6 Irish, who will have at least 25 receptions, BK will spread the ball around, and get alot of different players the ball, and with the better understanding of the offense and developement of the line, we will be hard to stop.

3. In my ball I see 2 Irish who will record 6 sacks or more, in the 3-4 outside pash rushing can be dominate. Between our line and Manti, the outside rushers are going to be blocked 1 on 1, and with the speed and depth I like that matchup vs any team we play.

4. In the next 6 years, my chicken bones say, ND will win 2 National Championship, and play in 6 straight BCS games. BK's first two recruiting classes already prove to me what type of team we are going to be, defensive and physical, that is what wins championship.

5. Im getting light headed from all the smoke in this cave, but I see us scoring 6 touchdowns against those condoms from LA. That is all I see in this vision.

6. 6 people will want to respond to this post, but wont do so, but then Diaco will show up at their house at 6 A.M, and put them through 6 hours of PT, and then they will be begging to respond.

1.) By August half this board will have us winning the National Title.

2.) By mid November that same half will want ceratin coaches fired.

3.) Mark May will predict we will make the BCS at the start of the season, then pick against us on game day 9 times.

4.) We will beat Michigan on the road.

5.) We will lose to USC at home.

6.) If we makethe BCS, we will play Bama in the Sugar Bowl.

1. False. Our defense will be solid (say Top 30), but Top 6? Keep dreaming. Watch the tape from the Capital One Bowl and see how our defense compares to Alabama's. They don't.

2. True. That almost happened this year. Michael Floyd had 79, Kyle Rudolph had 28, Theo Riddick had 40, Tyler Eifert had 27, T.J. Jones had 23, and Cierre Wood had 20.

3. Possible.

4. We'll make the BCS in 2011, 2013, and 2014. If we win a national title in Kelly's first five years, it will be in 2014.

5. Perhaps.

6. Yikes.

We are not losing to USC, the law of averages for one is on our side, we just stopped a long losing streak to them, that usually means we have a winning streak.

Next seasons defense, not last seasons defense. To compare them would be like comparing Steve Buerlien at Notre Dame with him in the NFL. Totally different things.

It's damn near impossible to have a top 10 defense, let alone top 6 defense, with Notre Dame's schedule. Maybe if we could play a couple teams like Eastern Michigan and Citadel where we could have those delightful 125 total yard days it could happen, but there's just too many good teams and no truly terrible teams.

I think about BC last year and their offense was abysmal and we played pretty well defensively, but they still eeked out 300 yards.

If we get anywhere near the top 20 in defense (which would be a jump of 30 spots from last year's defense and will be very tough to do) than we can finally say we have a great defense. I'd be shocked if we cracked the top 10 anytime in the future because that would mean literally destroying opponents every single week.

Unrealistic? We finished the year as a "Top 10" defense, check the stats . . .

My only prediction is that six of my seven kids will be with me at the Spring game this year.

1) 2-3 players will transfer before the season.

2) Golson will have his own package and he'll make a play that makes the fans say "wow". Then everyone will want him to be starter.

3) Notre Dame finds a way to beat the powerhouse Navy.

4) ND will have a better record than Auburn

5) By the end of the season 2 freshmen will be starting

6) BCS Bowl birth

Love the optimism of your predictions. I will guess that we might have a top 20 defense due to the fact that we got alot better defensively towards the end of the season and we have added some much needed depth. We are on the right path towards getting a national championship caliber defense, but I think it will be even better in another year. I say we will be a regular in the BSC picture as well, I just dont know about 6 in a row, but I could see 4 out of the next 6 maybe if things go right. 2012 kind of scares me a little. I will say that it is possible to win at least one maybe two chamionships in the next 6 years. Alot of things have to go our way but it is possible. At any rate, I'm very excited about our program and I think the future is very bright! Go Irish!

We still finished the season ranked in the middle of the pack in a lot of defensive stats. The late season dominance was awesome, but just because we were a top 10 defense for a few games definitely does not mean we will be for an entire season in 2011.

Really, if people are truly expecting a top 10 defense next year get ready to be disappointed.

I think the odds are better we win a national title than have such a highly ranked defense.

References to Bob Diaco and coffee and Diaco having superhuman powers and whatever other superlatives will be said 6,666,665 times in the next year (especially on threads about recruits considering ND but not coming to ND), and that will be 6,666,665 times too many for me.

I agree. Our D stats were a little inflated because of that 4 game roll. Had we played like that all year, we'd been undefeated.

ND in the Rose Bowl, or if no Big10/Pac10 qualify for the championship game it will be the Fiesta bowl.

1) Crist plays like the stud he is (3,000+ yards and 25+ TDs)

2) Riddick/Wood combine for 25 TDs

3) Floyd has 100+ receptions, 1250+ yards

4) Te'o gets to 150 tackles

5) Gray/Blaton become shutdown corners-we don't give up 250+ through the air once all year

6) We win a BCS game

My single prediction:

No matter how good or bad my Irish are, no matter how many times I break our coffee table and say "I'm not watching another game this season", I'll be in front of the t.v. every saturday.

Along with all you jokers.

Go Irish

hmmm

1) A player will de-commit and be treated like he were the unibomber for his decision

2) Golson will RS. Everyone who praised and predicted Golson would start will forget about him and say the same thing about Cyler Miles (or another high profile QB)

3) A new player will fill the void left by Brian and Harrison Smith (starter that will be bashed for every mistake, regardless of play). My guess will be whoever wins the QB job.

4) Either Hendrix or Massa will transfer

5) We will not have a running back go over 1000 yards

6) ND will make a BCS bowl
