Notre Dame Stinks This Year

So is this how it's going to be? I mean, is Notre Dame content to just call 2007 a "throwaway" year? I mean, I know they lost Brady Quinn, wide receiver, Jeff Samardzjia, and a few other players but it wasn't accepted that they would absolutely STINK this year, was it? I can't imagine that the school, fans and alumni are at all happy with this. What happened to recruiting? Charlie Weiss has been doing fairly well with them the past two years but when he loses a few of the players he inherited from Ty Willingham it seems he can't get it done. He does realize a big part of being a college coach is recruiting, right? And that he needs to replace the players he has lost? I watched Michigan pound them 38-0 yesterday and the question was whether Michigan had found a spark and was getting back on track or is Notre Dame really that bad? I think Notre Dame really is that bad! They are like a high school team out there!

Notre Dame actually has USC still on their schedule for this year! HAHAHAHA!!! I know that when big time college teams lose a few players they often come down a notch for a year or two. They might go down a little bit in the rankings (like Ohio State) and not contend so much for a national championship, but they are still solid and respectable; but Notre Dame is sad, painful to watch. Weren't they supposed to be "reloading" in anticipation of the loss of players? I mean, they KNEW Brady Quinn and Samardzjia were leaving, right? I'm just asking because it seems that Demetrius Jones, the quarterback who started Notre Dame's first game this year up and transferred in the middle of the night to Northern Illinois and the coaching staff was totally oblivious to it! They were sitting on the bus to the Michigan game, wondering where he was! Hahahahaaaa.

In a week where Bill Belichik has lost some of his coaching credibility and a taint to his legacy in the NFL, his pal and former offensive coordinator for the Patriots is making people wonder if he, too, really is the "genius" that everyone once thought he was. I like Charlie Weiss, Bill Belichick and like watching Notre Dame, so the events of these first few weeks have been a real disappointment.
