I don't think so

The earliest is probably the Pitt game on Nov. 14th.

I think I would go

Actually I like Daisy and TDAGARIM equally, so I imagine those two will swap places a lot, my only real complaint with Daisy is that it seems pretty short.

I’d almost expect it to top TDAG for me.

If they do release a 5th album, and Jesse takes over the lyrics again, I expect it to top everything.

Am I the only one who blames

the secondary problems on the D-lines lack of pressure? I mean if you give the QB so much time, the secondary is going to slip up when the receivers are going to try to find holes in a zone, or just to get open in man.

Notre Dame can afford it.

He’s earned us more than enough money in those first two bcs games to cover a contract and a buyout, and I don’t care where he goes or how well he does. Best wishes to him. Maybe he’ll go ride Bill Belichicks coattails again.

When Allen has tried to go horizontal, he’s been stopped. But when he goes vertical, down the field, he gets at least four or five yards, and often a first down.

They got killed on a couple of drives, but that’s going to happen. They’ve forced some turnovers and made some stops, so if we lose this game, it’s on the offense.

I agree only giving up 14 points is a good thing...

But to have BC held to so many 3rd and longs, and for BC to have converted so many of them, is unacceptable.

Kyle McCarthy is to the Irish secondary

as Jenny McCarthy is to my mid-90s celebrity fantasies.

I really wish ND

I think

The Irish gaurd the reciever and never ever go fo the ball. It’s like they never adjust to it in the air.

PRESSURE

PUSHING DOWN ON ME

"Blister please, with those wings in your spine.
Love to be with a brother of mine.
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth,
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep,
Wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep." ~Jeff Magnum; Neutral Milk Hotel

sweet mercy

Looks like we’re actually going to pull this game out.

by long time listener on Oct 24, 2009 7:11 PM EDT reply actions  

Man ND

forced like 70 turnovers and still only managed 20 points.

WTF? What was with the BC player sticking his finger in Clausen’s face when he went over to do the whole “good game” bit?

I missed that

I wouldn’t doubt if Clausen provoked it. He’s fun like that.

Clausen walked away...

and according to my amateur mouth reading skills Clausen said something “not worth it”
