guys,

1. much will be made of nd's failure to run the ball in the purdue game. however, the threat of the run, coming from the michigan state game, made the purdue d sell out to stop the run and that opened up the passing game, which was very impressive.
2. since fate has been kind enough to bring nd out to the rose bowl next week, i will enjoy watching this fine young nd team get its 1st victory against ucla and there will be more victories this year now that all that young talent has had its baptism if fire. would wins over ucla, boston college, usc( which looked very beatable against washington this week) and the rest of the teams on the schedule be a great thing? they sure would be and it always pays to think positively.
3. now that this nd team has shown the ability to run and to pass, opposing teams are not going to be able to concentrate stopping just one.

the most important thing is that this nd team now knows that they can beat anyone.

4. jimmy and evan are quite a pair, along with all of that very young talent( could a guy named golden tate have ended up at any school other than nd?) and the 2008 class coming in. now that charlie and his staff have resurrected the nd recruiting network from the dead where lazy bob davie put it, there will be no more talent and experience gaps.
5. we highly recommend a road trip to los angeles. unlike usc fans, ucla fans are polite and civilzed and the rose bowl is a magical place for a football game and the weather is great out here.
6. double d is really looking like a total fool right now and we still think that konrad and stewart will be back at nd.
7. we hope that jimmy is not badly hurt. it did not look as if he was.

your site is as inspiring as that great irish song after which you named it,
