a little off topic but I watched miami and georgia tech the other night. when will notre dame ever play with the kind of attitude miami and some of these other teams play with? Im an ND fan but I feel like theyre soft and NEVER hit ANYONE!! hopefully they beat up on the spartans today.

Let's go a little bit easier on Charlie. I probably would have made the same calls last week in the final minutes trying to pick up yardage and a 1st down Had they panned out, he would be called a genius. Unfortunately they didn't and one key dropped pass made the difference in the game. Charlie didn't drop that ball, a receiver did.

This is the most talented team since the Lou Holz era and the only thing missing is a coach who can bring the team together, motivate them and be part of them, ala Pete Carroll or Rick Rodriguez! The Weis term is over....it is time for ND to move beyond him.

Every team that comes into Notre Dame Stadium is playing their toughest, best game of the season. Charlie better have 'em prepared. I have stood up for Weis so many times now, it's about time he started coaching our players to a level where they take on ANY opponent. Last week was a heart breaker, no doubt about it, but the truest test of this team will be to see how they rebound.
Onward to Victory!

I am hopeful but not at all confident. The Irish need to start well to avoid energizing Sparty and deflating the stadium.

MSU always worries me! But this year I for some reason see us puttin the spankin on them. Dont get me wrong it wouldnt surprise me to see a tight game. I just see us really takin it out on MSU this year. Last week sucked. I dont know if I will ever be over that game. (Lets hope the players feel differently.) We SHOULD have won that game. We moved the ball at will just shot ourselves in the foot. I still stand by the horrible play calling playing a HUGE factor in the loss. There was just too many disheartening calls in that game that really can take away from a teams attitude and took away any momentum we would have gained. Also shutting the damn crowd up. Anyways make to MSU! I hate to say it but this is prolly the biggest game Charlie will coach this year. He knows his career at ND could be riding on this game. I really love Charlie as a person and as a ND coach. I am 100% sure he will suceed at ND and it starts this year. This game, RIGHT NOW! GO IRISH!!

This team is WAY too talented to get beat by Michigan St again. If they do, its squarely on Weis as an indication he simply cannot get his team ready for battle. The spartans have beaten us into submission time and time again, and has showed little to no class in doing so. Absolutely ZERO motivation should be necessary from the coaching staff. I think the Irish come out and make a statement tomorrow, and run the table from here, including an upset of Southern Cal at home, who may not even be undefeated coming into South Bend based on what I saw last week.

GO IRISH BEAT SPARTANS

It cannot be ignored that without the many mistakes made along w poor refs…we would have puttin 50 up on Michigan…period…and it was on the road…we should easily be able to have soemthing around that on saturday considering its at home…my prediction is 45-20…another thing that i really am i shocked i havent heard this week is about our opening drive…we went right down the field @ michigan and staleld w a horrible qb draw call on 3rd down followed by a missed 25 yrd fg…this sent a msg to michigan that we are goig to mistakes all day instead of sending the msg that we came here to dominate (what a td would have done)…very important that we put the ball in the endzone on the openign drive this week..we do that we will be fine..

This will be a big test for our players. After last week there are a lot of questions: Defense? Special Teams? Play calling? Moving on after last week will be easier said than done. MSU has owned ND and it's time to end the streak. Although, I'm not happy with Coach Weis' decisions last week, I don't feel it's time to jump ship yet (I stress "yet"). IF this team runs the table or even loses one more game, Weis, in my opinion, has done his job. Yea, the UM game will be a thorn in everyone's side, but 11-1 and 10-2 are still successful seasons. Let's have our coaches' and team's backs and watch how the rest of the year plays out. A coaching change in the middle of the season will only make things worse and our players don't deserve that.
