It's nice to see two dominating bowl wins to start Les Miles' LSU coaching career.

It will be bittersweet if JaMarcus enters the NFL draft as expected. One more year and he could go down as the best quarterback in LSU history, and possibly lead us to another National Championship. On the other hand, I'm very eager to see Ryan Perrilloux get a lot of time at QB.

well that ended well.

being a private school, notre dame can set any kind of guideline they want. i guess Notre Dame cares more about recruiting scholars than 5 star athletes to play for their football team...they should play all the ivey league schools instead

We got whooped last night, pretty good first half though. Not only is our D terrible, they play with no confidence, I'm glad Mike Richardson is finally gone, senior leadership is overrated when you suck. We needed to score at least 35 points to have a chance, and Quinn looked like he was trying to always make the big play instead of taking what LSU gave us.

Overall good season though, as the best programs show, one solid recruting class doesn't make a program. Weis looks like he's going to secure his 2nd top 10 class. It's going to be interesting to see what happens next season. @ Penn State, @ Michigan, and the other usual suspects, we're gonna take some lumps. At least the team will be young though, after 5 seasons under Weis, we will probably be a legit title contender, thats the difference between Weis and Ty.

U guys suck, u just schedule a bunch of easy teams in the season and then when u get to the bows ur like well what do we do here.

Is why Ive always hated Notre Dame.

[RWFender1]

i find it humerous...brady quinn rips up Army and Navy but he is scared to throw against a ranked team. Notre Dame schedules easy teams to ensure wins but it really ends up bitting them in the ass because they go untested facing big oppenents

Today we salute you, Mr. Delusional Notre Dame Fan. (Mr. Delusional
Notre Dame Faaaaaan!)


Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly
high preseason ranking. (Clutching at straws!)


You scramble to make futile attempts at damage control when the Irish
lose to a grossly inferior opponent (How'd Navy score fifty fouuuuuur?)


Inevitably, you'll bring up the past, and boast of National
Championships won 40 years before you were born. (Those were the
daaaaaays!)


You will point out that you have more wins than any other program as
though that is relevant to the current season. (Been playing since the
1870s!)


Go on, ignore that home loss to your archrivals in the regular season
finale and continue to believe that you'll defeat your bowl opponent
with striking ease. (LSU will win by thirteeeeeeey!)


So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Emperor of Excuses, and take
comfort knowing that when you don't finish in the top 25, you'll be back
to number three when the preseason polls come out next year. (Mr. Delusional
Notre Dame Fan!)

[RWFender1]

haha, so true...

[Jughead10]

Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly
high preseason ranking. (Clutching at straws!)

Actaully up to this year, they haven't had absurdly high preseason rankings. A couple of months back we researched it. People called Notre Dame constanstly overrated. And my argument was they weren't overrated. The polls always placed them accordingly, up until this year. If any team in the past has been overrated it is Michigan.

Just out of curiousity, how the hell was Notre Dame the national championship favorite coming into this season? Is it just because they returned Quinn, Samarjzdia and Darius Walker? Didnt people know their defense was atrocious?

[YAYareaRB]

I could go either way with Jamarcus Russell staying or going. It would be interesting to see Ryan Perriloux develope.
