I think this game will be a toss up. Last week’s performance didn’t fill me with optimism, and ND will need to regroup and play much better across the board to have a chance. Since Ann Arbor has been house of horrors the last several trips, my fear is that ND will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory late in the 4th quarter. I hope I’m just being too pessimistic.

Oh, and Brady Hoke and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie look like they were separated at birth.

Let’s please keep in mind that the Pope has called for worldwide prayer and fasting today for the people in Syria.

The game is on ESPN. I don’t get ESPN. I get to be noble and not watch the game.

31-10 good guys. (ND)

I could not agree with you more when you say about the defense, “the group looked slow, out of shape, and generally disinterested last week.” I was appalled. Where’s the energy? Speed? Last year ND was ready to go from day 1. In shape. Chip on shoulder. Play they could believe in and build on. Come to think of it. It may be the only year they were in shape in Kelly’s 4 years. Why?

If the Dee plays like it did against Temple, Michigan may not punt, and the Irish will lose by double digits. If they show significant improvement, the Irish will win a close one.

It will be a nail biter I’m predicting 30 27 Irish. I think we have the talent to win by a lot higher margin but for some reason Kelly has a fetish for keeping these games close. Even against teams like Temple. The thing that bothers me is other people around the country judge a teams style points by how good they play against lesser opponents and how many points they put up, and its like Kelly doesn’t seem to care. If we prepare for a mediocre performance against teams like Temple then how can their mindset come out and kill a team like Michigan? I feel that in order to be consistent you have to have the same mindset week in and week out and that is to destroy your opponent. No game film or not on Temple it doesn’t matter we know what to expect, its Temple; we have the talent to annihilate them and we should do it. Why hold back? If anything I think this gives Michigan more confidence going into this game and doesn’t strike any fear into them knowing we kept Temple a float. I don’t think Alabama goes into a game thinking, “Well we can let off the gas this week.” It makes you sloppy and complacent, and quite possibly could be the reason why Notre Dame struggles with the Purdue’s and the Pittsburgh’s when they shouldn’t. I want Notre Dame to win every game, I just don’t want to see the intensity fluctuate up and down.
