The OFFICIAL Notre Dame thread

I like Notre Dame's fight song... but I like Michigan's better, though.

Michigan definitely has a cool fight song, it's my second favorite...right behind Texas, and ahead of ND. Someone needs to put together a thread to vote for favorite college fight song.

Notre Dame goes for the Commander-in-chief trophy today!
Do you think they can pull it off?

Shouldn't be concerned about your team? The death of Bo may fire them up but it's very realistic that the loser of this game won't be in the National Championship and Florida, USC, or ND (with the Commander-in-Chief trophy of course) can get in. I'm saying Ohio State 37 Michigan 20.

Jimmy Clausen is overrated.

Everything sounds great about Clausen. But I still get worries as I have not seen this kind of hype for an ND QB since....Ron Powlus!

Don't be worried. Powlus got hurt his freshman year and was never the same. Clausen is the real deal but injuries are always the wild card. Weis will have a better offense than Holtz to maximize his skills too.

The backups are good too. Demetrius Jones might even start next year from what I'm hearing.

2007 is going to be a tough season for ND though

That'd be interesting. If Demetrius can throw, I'd definitely be interested to see him back there. It'd add another dimension to an already awesome offense. But yeah, we might take a step back next year. I just hope the defense gets better.

Today's game versus Army is the 49th meeting between the two schools.

Notre Dame owns a 36-8-4 record in the series.

The last Army win was in 1958.

I'm certainly looking forward to this classic match up!

Here are some notable events of 1958:

Wow, in my entire lifetime, Army has never beat Notre Dame. NEVER!

The entire Vietnam War started & ended in this time!

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Stones.......NONE even were even in extistence that last time that Army won.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was the President.

EVERY MLB player active in the game today was yet to be born!!!
EVERY NFL player active in the game today was yet to be born, even Morton Anderson!!!

Man, this game is one hell of a Tradition!!!

It sure would be nice to see Army improve their record today.

I love how Michigan is playing Ohio State and USC is playing Cal... and Notre Dame plays Army.

Western Carolina is punishing Florida (#3). This can not be good for Florida's chances this year, Florida still has a chance to pull the game out, but they better start scoring... and fast.

[homer2931]

What do you win for beating Ball State, Northwestern and Central Michigan?

What does beating one team ranked at the end of the season get you?
Apparently a #5 ranking and a top 5 pick for your QB, although no one is sure why

I'd leave this board if Ohio State's offense can put up 37
But they definitely can win

Hey Johnny, do you realize that Peter Gabriel was 8 years old when Army won their last game against The Fighting Irish? Phil Collins was 7.

I was still swimming around.

So, who did those schoold start the season off with? ND's last game is will be a big one just like the OSU/UM game.

The last year the USNA beat ND, Roger was thier QB.

They have their green on today, and they have been unlucky of late.

We weren't born yet, and we're old.

Actually, I'm not sure what either schoold did at the beginning of the season. But that was the beginning of the season.

It is will be should be a great game between these two Schoolds.

HUH?!?! Speak up Sonny!!! I can't hear ya. Hand me my damn reading spectacles.............

[Coney36]

It's 3-0 ARMY!!!

What are you even whining about? UM beat ND badly this year, and you control your destiny for the National Championship, yet you can't stop talking about ND. Get over your obsession.

I hate the green.

[dabomb2045]

I hate the green.

Doesnt seem to be bothering the team today
