If your beef with Weis is a signature win, its probably not going to happen this season. Not because we won't beat USC, its because USC is not the elite team you all are looking to beat. So, for those in search of a signature win, look at the schedule and come to grips that its probably not going to happen this season, and it won't be CW's fault.

PS... A good excuse for not beating an elite team this season is not playing an elite team.

Leave Charlie OUT of this. This is a signature WIN! For our entire team. The last two weeks have shown us a level of maturity and leadership that we have been waiting for! The fact that Jimmy has not only played lights out but has orchatrated TWO come from behind victories in the last two weeks. Yesterday he did it without Floyd or Allen and while being injured! Everyone stepped up to the plate and produced. Including Charlies packages for Dayne! It was a signature win. They were without 80% off their offense for nearly half the game. But their o-line and backups got it done. Their undeniable leader is Jimmy Clausen and everyone believes in him and will give 110% for him. I would be happy if someone had told me this in April. Thats all I am saying. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk, didnt mean it to come off that way ErikJD08. I am just so stoked for the boys! Go IRISH!:mrgreen:

Purdue is a signature win? It's worse than I thought.

Don't highjack the thread... the point is that there is no opportunity for a signature win this season. So deal with it.

Relax, calm down, and don't tell me what to do. There may not be a signature win this year because CW can't even beat Michigan. If he does beat SC, I'll be happy to admit that it is a signature win. Until he does, this team has a long way to go.

I am relaxed. Its a fantastic lazy Sunday. Why would SC be a signature win? They lost to Washington and I bet they lose 2 or 3 more games this season.

the fact that the team came from behind and won, yes IMO i would call that a signature win, improvements have been made, but we still got a ways to go, If we can rest a few guys for the Washington game and still win, that would be nice then two weeks later we should get the win USC :-o

Because SC is still a good team despite their loss. Oklahoma St. is still a good team despite their loss. Good teams can lose but if you take a look at what has happened the last few years with ND we've had more than one loss against absolutely shitty teams. Syracuse, Navy and competitive games against teams like SDSU, Purdue, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, etc.

Β 

SC loses to a bad Stanford team then goes out and anihilates every other team they play. They end up being in the top 5 every year. That's what I expect out of ND. Not some celebration because we walk over Hawaii in some December bowl, or a 3 point victory over Purdue.

I know, if we just have one more interception against Michigan.........

If we just complete that pass to Shaq.........

If we stop blitzing so often.......

If we had an experienced offensive line........

Sick of ifs....If my uncle had tits, he'd be my aunt.

This is not the point.... if SC loses to CAL, which they will. And they lose to us. And they lose to another Pac 10 team. And they are 8 and 4, is it still a signature win for you? Just want to know...

Beating Purdue is clearly not a signature win. The come back against MSU in the rain with BQ stands more of a chance than this does...but even that falls short. A signature win is against a top-caliber team, not Purdue... And by top-caliber I mean they finish the season ranked in the top ten...

It was a win and I was excited by the grit showed and by CW's flexibility, but it was not a signature win. It could be against USC later if USC can win out through the rest of the season...but if not them, it would have to come in a bowl game.

It was a signature win for Jimmy because we came down from behind and had an amazing drive without two of our 4 best offensive players. It was a great win! One we wouldnt have one in the last two years! It is a signature win because it is something this team has never done, and we did it minus our best players. If $C is a top 10 team when we beat them it should be a signature win.

And lets not get tooo bent out of shape about hijacking threads. We all enjoy your Charlie hating and you are a neccesary part of this board. So deal with it! :llama:

Beating fUSC is signature enough for me. What's the definition of "signature win"? Do we all think it's the same thing? Who knows, but I'll say it again, beating SC no matter what their record is makes my season.

That's a big if. Not sure SC will lose to Cal. They were awful yesterday and SC was awful the week before. I think SC will win.

Β 

BC will be a big win. Not a signature win but a big win. There have been three teams in recent years we've had a hard time beating: SC, BC, and MSU. The only team that had better talent than us most of these years was SC.

Β 

BTW, I have to admit a bias living here in southern ca. SC fans are the biggest bunch of thugs, punks, and bandwagon fans anywhere in college football. Ever since the Raiders left LA, SC has filled that vaccum that attracts the biggest aholes. So I have a tendency to hate anything SC. These last few years have been more than I can take. Now add this to the fact that I married a Trojan and you'll guess that Thanksgiving has not been a happy time (as far as football is concerned) in my house hold.

First, I am going to get bent out of shape about highjacking threads because the topic is whether we will have an opportunity for a signature win. I believe there will not be one. If people want to bash CW or talk about their frustrations with program, there are plenty of other threads to reply to.

Second, if there are some of you that care only about the ranking at the time of the game, then Michigan at #3 should count as a signature win. If you care about ranking at the end of the season, then I am not sure if we will have an opportunity for a signature win. And you can't fault Weis for not having one this season because we aren't playing one. That is my point.

purdue has 35 kids on their roster from indiana...........what more do you want mcdougal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

...signature win = a win over a team that finishes the year ranked in the top 10...
