The Official (laugh at) Notre Dame Football Thread

[Tony D]

You all wanted it (well just booze did for all the wrong reasons) so here it is. I understand this will be just me talking to myself until they lose a game and then the floodgates will open.

Temple today. Line is 29.5. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't near a 40 point victory. They should run all over them, around 300 yards worth.

Rees will surprise this year.

Real good WR depth and talent.

Two true freshmen RB's from Florida to keep an eye on, Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston.

OL is going to be as good as they've had in a long time and next year will be better.

Have a beast at TE in Troy Niklas, 6'7, 270.

DL is one of the tops in country, Tuitt, Nix and Day.

LB's have true freshman Jaylon Smith starting. Keep an eye on him.

3 of 4 starting DB's are back.

More depth than we've had in a long, long time.

 

[Deuce]

So you don't have to talk to yourself, I'll just drop a quick "Go Owls".

I know Alabama beat us by 4 freakin' TD's last year and most think we didn't deserve to be there.

I predict 10-2. Anything below 9 wins would be a big disappointment and wouldn't be totally shocked if they were better than 10 wins.

This is what I expect...and welcome.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Looks like 4-8 to me

 

[Deuce]

I think 9-3 is reasonable.

 

[Tony D]

Ha.

 

[Tony D]

I think 9-3 is reasonable.

I could live with that. 8-4 would suck. I'm thinking 10-2. Anything more is gravy, but wouldn't be shocking.

Holtz predicted 11-1 last night.

 

[UncleMilti]

Holtz predicted 11-1 last night.

I'm pretty sure Holtz is getting dementia.

I'm going with 8-4.

 

[Rev]

2-10 but hoping for 0-12

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Holtz has had dementia for years. He'd sooner drop dead than remove ND's cock from his mouth.

 

[Deuce]

It's only Temple so I don't expect much, but I'm very much looking forward to Tommy Rees doing some very Tommy Rees like things.

 

[Tony D]

21-6 at half. Jumped out to quick 14-0 lead and then played lackluster the rest of half.

 

[Texas Ace]

I think I'm the only person on this board outside if Tony D that actually doesn't wish ND the absolute worst.

I hope they do well again.

 

[Tony D]

So all my great musings about ND from the last two weeks are gone now?

 

[Plan9Misfit]

So all my great musings about ND from the last two weeks are gone now?

Vagisil, chocolate, a bubble bath, and a good cry. That's what you've needed these last two weeks after bitching and moaning like a fucking rape victim.

Thank God.

Oklahoma at Notre Dame this week.

Is Oklahoma any good this year? We kicked their ass in Norman last year.

We're a little better defensively than we were last year.

I really don't know what to expect from the Sooners' offense. The first two weeks they struggled passing the ball with Knight as the starting QB. Blake Bell started our last game and he looked very good.

I don't know if Bell's performance was an anomaly or if he's actually that good. We'll find out Saturday afternoon.
