Hey, what if Charlie promised to give Jimmie the millions he would lose by not going pro next year?

Could he do that? Why wouldn't this work? Then we could win the NC and it's a win-win for everyone.

"He came to ND to play for a championship and all signs point to next year's team doing just that."

Um, no. He came to ND because he thought Charlie was the best guy to get him to the pros. That's what Jimmie said, I'll take him at his word.

It's a business decision, pure and simple. Don't think it's not. This is not Rudy trying to get into the game, this is millions and millions of dollars. Jimmie is as gone as the setting sun.

Irish Sting says; It's Navy week so get ready for who has the football. This game will show how much improvement we have as we end the season with some good teams. In the past they tripped us up so how will it be this year? If they go 2 and 2 with the talent we have, YUCK! 3 and 1 or 4 and 0, will make for Wait for next Year.
0 and 4 goodbye Charlie hello Brian Kelly.

The most impressive thing about the Irish win over WSU was the offensive line play and the defense. Clausen and Tate are so consistent that you just expect them to excel in every game.
The defense and the offensive line, on the other hand, have been gradually improving. That is important because championships are won with great defenses and good offenses. Ask the coaches and fans from USC and Florida.

"...and great send off for Clausen."

Jimmy isn't going anywhere, IMO.
He came to ND to play for a championship and all signs point to next year's team doing just that.

The title "Tate leads" brings up a great point that was made by Bryan Driskell in Irish Sports Daily: Golden Tate needs to sto jawing and taunting so much, and when his inexperienced QB short hops him on a couple throws he needs to be supportive and not throw a mini-tantrum

Charlie is hinting that Crist's injury may not be as bad as first thought.

No one can be upset that we did exactly what we're supposed to do: Beat a bad team handedly.

I find it hard to be too happy, however, b/c Crist's knee injury looked really bad. I hope he's ok.

Fox Sports thinks the Irish still have a shot at a BCS Bowl, likely the Fiesta.

After watching the Ducks' beatdown of the Trojans, I think a bowl game with those guys would be an incredible shoot-out and great send off for Clausen.
