Great game, and a sincere congrats to all of you for showing up and staying late.  What a win for your program - it was huge as I expected, and could not have gone any better (except for one defensive stop)... Charlie is clear to invite the NFL scouts next weekend.  I think that all is safe...

Oldhorn started it, Bear. And I'm not calling anyone dirty names on my thread... You're better than that.  

Dear Sirs: We placed the Tennessee "T" on your cow minotaur's bandana.  It's the more recognizable orange college "T" in the nation, as your football games are not televised north of Fort Worth, Texas. Oops, the orange is also from the mighty Vols as well.   The stadium depiction is a generic...

It's been way too long... we are due. I could not stand to wait 35 years between NC's.  I don't know how you did it...

Agreed. No injuries. A clean game. Should be a blast.

It is the most storied program. Haven't you all been paying attention? I don't know much more than ND will be 10-2 against UT for all-time when the clock strikes Midnight on Sept 5. All we want is your typical statement game. I'm tired of all this waiting. Go Irish!

Ramonce Taylor was another who could have been great and blew their collegiate career. Remember him?

But a weekend that we will soon forget when we wake up the echoes on Sept 4th. Go Irish!

Indeed. It appears that Butler's case is far worse than initial reports let on. I was going from second-hand sources that posted what happened at the 'Backer. If the dude really took off a cops belt and was tackling cops, he may be lucky that he has a heartbeat right now. It was ND's darkest...

That's right. UT can win all they want after Sept 4th.  That day shall belong to the Blue and Gold. Go Irish

Starting your true freshman in a game of this magnitude would be a fireable offense. This is a non-story, and the right decision.

Respect, Mike. This should not happen at a place like Notre Dame.  NDNation is embarassed and simply let down by this one... If your freshman gunslinger is the real deal, then the loss of Redfield is nothing but good news for you.   This game just became a lot more interesting.  The spread...

It's the right decision, in my opinion.   Let your freshman gunslinger take in the first few series on the sidelines, in real time.  This will not be anything like practice. If he's the real deal, and many say that he is, then being beside the QB coach while ND shows their D scheme is the...

It's worse than this article would lead you to believe...

It sure does.   How in the hell are our players beating the drug tests, is what most of ND nation is asking ourselves right now.  They test for THC, don't they? Makes me sick that ND has a TCU feel about it this morning... I predict that Kelly has a short shelf-life after yet again another...

You're used to these other schools that you habitually play.   Kelly has nothing to do with their punishment.  I'm sure that, if he did have say, those kids would be sitting out the first quarter against UT and that's it.  Ala Saban and Sumlin style... These 5 dudes are in purgatory now for...
