I was going to start this tomorrow, but i didnt want to get beat, i understand if this thread starts slow since the game is next saturday and all. No negativity guys, I dont care if you have like questions and such, but doubts and like, just plain negativity that nd cant beat usc is not allowed, keep it to yourselves. Dont spread the negativity!

Positive Energy fellas...post your comments and feelings

Im going to make a pump up big speech thing saturday morning/afternoon

You guys should do the same. Dont worry about the other teams, only focus on the trojans, going into there house, and beating them.

Ive got a lot of stuff to put in here, but im going to put little by little so i dont waste it.

 

Go ND! Beat Sc! beat sc! beat sc! beat sc! beat sc!

Just throw to Smarj every time!! Are you kidding me!!!!

we are blown out of the water..... back to 2007

i was just going to post and ask wondering how this loss will affect the recruits that are in attendence there at USC, and they just said on the tv that Wies will be staying in LA to recruit, so i guess thats good news.. but im still interested in what the recruits at this game will say or think after this game.

 

i dont want to watch ESPN after this game, i bet Mark May is grinning from ear to ear

i hope so bad UCLA can beat USC next weekend

we are blown out of the water..... back to 2007

 

We might lose the bowl game, too. We'll make the BCS--let's get real, those selection committees won't pass us up--but I think I'm justified in saying that it's far from rightfully deserved.

Like thats going to be any better

 

 

It will be more enjoyable though. I'm looking forward to seeing some OL -particulary Olsen - out there trying to blow people of the line and make a name for themselves

 

 

 

We had to score before HT and score off those INTS. Nowhere near good enough

there werent really any recruits at the game we are planning on landing

 

Tez has issues, and according to the broadcast will be picking Michigan

 

i dont believe williams was there, but i think he is one charlie will go see, him, best, and MSG

 

otherwise, Austin, Griffen and guys like that i dont think anyone figured we would land

 

maybe charlie could stay in cali and find a new d-coordinator

 

forever, or any other cali guys, any top notch DC's on the beach out there because ours may have the worst schemes i have ever seen, seriously i got an 8 year old cousin who knows better than to run the crap we run, stop blitizing the boundry corner every chance you get minter, and seriously stop leaving our safeties one on one with a top 10 draft pick, maybe you should roll coverage to him, just a thought, if charlie doesnt fire him, we are in seriously trouble, this is who minter is, and better to get someone new in there and start preparing the D for 08

 

btw, if zibby gets drafted on day 1 (rounds 1-3) someone will be making a huge mistake, he can't cover at all, roy williams is the closest thing to him, and zibby isnt near the run stopper roy williams is

I was thinking Adam Archuleta, the same Adam Archuleta who fooled the Skins to sit on their bench. Of course both players are still better than Zibby. Its a pity

yea thats a good example

btw i like zibby i think he brings alot to the program but he is not even close to NFL ready, he has the athletic ability, hes not slow, he just needs to be coached, i think the boxing thing set him back on that coaching

 

i also think it would help to spend a season in an NFL caliber defensive scheme, you can hide a safety like that in coverage if you know what your doing, just look at dallas neither of there safeties can cover a lick, but they hide it well, well enough to confuse the best qb in the NFL into thinking that those safeties were actually covering his wideouts

 

problem is Minter doesnt hide our weaknesses, in fact his scheme exposes them, his scheme creates more weaknesses then are there, we have decent talent on D, we just don't have a dc that can max it out

i wonder how far ND will fall in the BCS standings. 8 or better and they are automatic to a BCS game right?

if they fall beyond 8 is there still a chance they could get passed over for a BCS spot? even those predictors saying ND would lose this game still had ND going to a BCS game right?

Arkansas and West Virginia both lost aswell.

teams likely to move ahead of ND.. Wisconsin? LSU? Boise State? Louisville?

i dont think Louisville deserves to move ahead of ND. im not impressed with any of the Big East teams.

ND was 6th in the AP poll, watch them drop alot there

 

at this point i think id like to see ND play the winner of the ACC championship game, either Georgia Tech or Wake Forest

Hopefully CW drops by the Smith house and talks to Malcolm because we could really use his athleticism at LB, especially if we miss out on Donald.

maybe charlie could stay in cali and find a new d-coordinator

 

 

wasnt the name Romeo Cronell mentioned before? is that just a rumour or could he be a possibility?

i dont see him going from NFL coach to dc in college

 

i think lewis is in line, but scoop brought up the name randy shannon which is good because if schiano gets the gig he will be running his own D, not keeping the guy who replaced him at miami

 

if it was me i would pay either of the guys at OSU whatever they wanted to get them over here, ohio state's d scheme is as good as it gets in college

 

at this point i think id like to see ND play the winner of the ACC championship game, either Georgia Tech or Wake Forest

 

 

 

I agree and it will be Wake Forest. Not appealing but I don't care. We have to win our bowl

 

 

For those feeling bad, spare a thought for those poor GT fans. Reggie Ball put in a performance which makes our D look like the Bears today, to lose once again to Georgia. Horrific stuff

guys i really think it will be the rose bowl against michigan

 

fiesta will be big 12 (oklahoma) vs boise state

 

sugar should be big east (Louisville) vs. SEC (Arkansas)

 

orange will probably be ACC (Ga Tech) vs LSU

 

Rose will be Michigan vs ND

 

Champ will be OSU vs USC
