BUY or SELL

[WeisWeisBaby]

Buy - mostly because we will be running a lot, but also the fact is that I really believe that ND will fix the o-line problems this year, Charlie usually is good at fixing when he has been given a lot of time.

Q: Our defense will record 15 more sacks than last year?

 

[onenybrother]

Buy = Since we are playing a much weaker schedule I think that number will be reached.


Notre Dame at some point will be a top 15 team this year.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Buy - This might be the worst purchase of my lifetie, but I honestly think and feel that ND will come back huge this year, and yes, it's very possibly that as they gain confidence and experience they head to the Colliseum undefeated, and if that is the case they will be top 15 for sure.

Q: CW chooses ball first every chance he is given this year

 

[onenybrother]

Sell= I hoping he give the ball to the defense the first time he win the toss this year. Let the team no from the start, defense is gonna win games.

Claussen makes us feel like he's not the answer at quarterback.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Sell - I thought Clausen played great last year despite what weapons he had, and I think he will really shine as a QB and as a leader for this team, he wasn't ready last year and I think he learned A LOT.

Q: We hand off to the full back less than 5 times this year (not counting hughes as fb)

 

[irishfan]

Sell, Weis has a mancrush on Schwapp and will make Haywood call a few FB dives.

Q. Notre Dame will be favored against Michigan.

 

[ndfantp]

Sell - unless Michigan loses to Miami (Ohio) we will not be favored. We play them way too early in the season.

Weis takes back the play calling duties from Haywood by the U$C game

 

[goldandblue]

Sell I don't think Weis would do that to Haywood on a personal or professional level. The only way I see that happening is if we are walking into the Coliseum With a really really bad record. Not going to happen.

Q: If we Win at USC we get 2 commitments in the next week after the game.

 

[no.1IrishFan]

Sell, I dont honestly think there are a lot of recruits out there waiting to base their future on the outcome of that game.

Q: What is the score of the michigan game?

 

[brownkj002]

Sell, I dont honestly think there are a lot of recruits out there waiting to base their future on the outcome of that game.

Q: What is the score of the michigan game?

Can't really buy or sell that Q.

 

[ND22SB]

ND finishes # 1 in pass defense with the talent they have in the secondary?

 

[IrishinTN]

sell, they are good, but still very young.

Offensive line holds sacks to 20 less than last year.

 

[no.1IrishFan]

Can't really buy or sell that Q.

lol, I guess I really didnt think that one thru huh.

 

[kmoose]

ND finishes # 1 in pass defense with the talent they have in the secondary?

I'll buy this one, but only because I don't think we will be able to stop anyone's running game this year. That, and it's unlikely that the offense will suddenly become some kind of juggernaut. So teams will be able to run the ball against us, in close games. They will only have to throw to keep the D honest. Until we get some great play at LB, we are going to be in trouble.

 

[onenybrother]

Washington beats Notre Dame in a rout.

 

[MattDMB72]

Sell - First, i don't think we are gonna have anything like the routs we had last year. The defense has gotten so much better and won't allow us to lose by any great number. Second, it seemed to me like the reason everyone was talking about washington last year was because of Locker, but by the end of the season most teams had figured him out and contained him pretty well.

Buy or Sell - Notre Dame will have a true freshman starting against San Diego State?

 

[goldandblue]

Sell, I think we beat them just becuase we will be better than them.

Q: Ty Willingham is fired from Washington after this season.

 

[Freeman Ara]

Sell - First, i don't think we are gonna have anything like the routs we had last year. The defense has gotten so much better and won't allow us to lose by any great number. Second, it seemed to me like the reason everyone was talking about washington last year was because of Locker, but by the end of the season most teams had figured him out and contained him pretty well.

Buy or Sell - Notre Dame will have a true freshman starting against San Diego State?

Buy-Micheal "Freakin" Floyd

Q. Will we see Crist play at all this year. OR
Q. Clausen will lose for the first time ever in the state of California this year?

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Buy - Clausen loses in Cali, as much as I hope not it just doesn't make sense to assume we can beat USC right now.

Sell - I think Crist will not waste a year on mop up duty, I could be wrong.

Q. Hughes has the most touchdowns of anyone on team this year

 

[notredomer23]

Sell, Kamara will catch 11, Hughes will rush for 10.

Q. David Bruton will be a first round draft pick

 

[goldandblue]

Sell, I think early Second round if he has a season like last year.

Q: Ty Willingham is fired from Washington after this season.

 

[Mattmags]

Sell, Tyrone '6 Handicap' Willingham will not be fired after this year. I think Locker will have another stellar season and is the only reason the team looks as good as it does. Willingham will buy Locker a new 9-iron for saving his job.

Q. Navy plays Notre Dame close this year

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Sell - We have a quicker defense and I think bigger boys at the line, and our offense will just run it down their throats.

Q: Notre Dame is favored against SDSU to start the season

 

[MattDMB72]

Buy - And i wouldn't be suprised if its in the double digits. This should be an interesting line for the oddsmakers to make though because no one knows what we're gonna bring this year and the same can be said for San Diego State. But the irish were favored against GT last year and we all saw how well that worked out.

Buy or Sell - Someone transfers during the season?

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Sell - Everyone left that wanted to leave the past two years, and with Nagel being the last of them. I'll be surprised to hear if someone else leaves to be honest.

Q: 4th down play calling becomes more conservative with Haywood at the helm.

 

[Freeman Ara]

Sell - Everyone left that wanted to leave the past two years, and with Nagel being the last of them. I'll be surprised to hear if someone else leaves to be honest.

Q: 4th down play calling becomes more conservative with Haywood at the helm.

I'm going to buy, but it all depends on the kicking game.

Q: We have a FR make some sort of AA team after the season?

 

[notredomer23]

I'm going to buy, but it all depends on the kicking game.

Q: We have a FR make some sort of AA team after the season?

buy. Not sure who, maybe Floyd or Johnson

Clausen's TD to INT ratio will be 4:1

 

[onenybrother]

Sell= He still a young quarterback. I will be happy with 2-1.

Claussen will leave after his junior year.,

 

[Sureal]

buy--he comes into his own this year and next year he has a monster season. Money is too much to pass up

Q Will Brian Smith lead ND in sacks

 

[irishfan]

Sell-Crum

Q. Notre Dame is favored in every game except for Michigan and USC.
