I am going to give all RoM readers a chance to take their minds off 2007 and remember 2005,Charlie's 1st year at ND as I do a replay of the 2005 Fighting Irish season using a simulation game called Quick Play Football that I downloaded at http://www.tabletop-sports.com . This game offers a quick and fast scores and only takes a few minutes,and you'll learn more at that site. Anyway,I am here to replay the great 2005 season to see if the Irish can do better than 9-3,and would win a bowl game and win the National Championship. Here is the 2005 Irish schedule:

9/3 @Pitt
9/10 @Michigan
9/17 Michigan State
9/24 Washington
10/1 @Purdue
10/15 USC
10/22 BYU
11/5 Tennessee
11/12 Navy
11/19 Syracuse
11/26 @Stanford

Let's all hope that the Irish can do well in this replay compared to what they did in real life!
