clausen is gonna be better than last year not just because of his arm being a 100% but, also he has learned what it is gona take to be a feild general at the college level. After last year he knows what its like to lose now he is gona show us he rembers how to win.

His potential is only limited by his blocking.

very true but true leaders find a way to win even when it seems impossible the kid has the talent and the brain to pick defensens apart. The line will show u improvement this year no doubt. i might seem a little optomistic but i just plain believe in this team.

The south bend tribune article this morning said Sam Young has been hitting the weights hard this offseason. It claims he struggled be over 300lbs last season, but is "ripped" at 330+ right now!

I have no issues w him being that big- I also don't think he needs to be ripped, but if he is, good for him. As long as he is strong as an ox and can move quickly enough to keep rushers off of JC, then yeah! :headbang: :wordyo: :rockwoot: :rock:

Is it just me or do you guys think this team will over acheive next year. I think this team reminds me of the 88 team more so than last year. I really think we complete for a BCS bowl birth.

Too early for me to say- I know that is what I want, but not yet what I expect. Hard after being burned with such high expectations and then getting even lower than should have gotten...

I don't know what to think. I knew we were going to have a down year last year, but I never expected 3-9. But I guess BCS is a slight possibility.

i, along with you guys, obviously want them to play well, to dominate and to win. if they did well enough to go to earn a spot in a bcs bowl, that would mean that those three objectives were accomplished. however, realistically, i don't want them to go to a bcs bowl if it means losing badly... again. i would rather them go to a lower bowl if it meant a better opportunity for a win and additional confidence for the next year.

Pro day for NFL prospects at ND

Click the link to open an article. Just under the title of the article, there is a link that says: Pro-day for NFL prospects at ND, click, the clip will play to the right. about 13 seconds in, Clausen is seen talking to someone. He looks a little thicker than last year. of course, that could be the puffy winter jacket he's wearing. :bigsmile:

In my opinion, this year comes down to line play. If both lines struggle again, we better prepare for another dissatisfying season. I don't see another 3-9 season, but with this years schedule, I can not see being happy with anything less than 9-4 with a lesser bowl win.

He's talking to Armando Allen. He looks like he has added a mixture of fat, and Muscle. He still has a few more months to trun that fat into muscle. Hopefully his arm is back to 100%.

At this point, I can take 9-4.

Same here, but I truly want to see a double-digit win season ... 10-3 with a bowl win! I'd definitely be happy w/ that. More so, I want them to be playing at the caliber that week-in, week-out you knowing going into any game that they have a solid chance of winning ... like years in the past (pre-Davie and Ty days)!

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but I don't expect this at all.

I expect 7 wins. I hope for more, but if this team does not man up by 10x then we would get raped in a BCS bowl if we got there. I really want a bowl win this year...even if it's the Tidy Bowl.

He put on 30 lbs of muscle in 3 months? Bullshit. He fattened up.
