Notre Dame = FRAUD

Re: Weiss surgery, he nearly died from complications and it was reversed, huge lawsuit followed, can not recall the end result

ND fanboy sez: Weis took a team that went 5-7 and 6-6 and got it to 9-3 and 10-3.

I think that, after next season, they will at least always be in the mix for a national title and win it every so often.

Umm, yeah ... this is unquestionably true, because even this bloodless team was in the national title hunt until USC handed them their asses. They are the only ones who can truly eliminate themselves from the national title picture because they are excused from horrible losses like that home debacle to Michigan. The only way they fall out is with losses to Michigan State or some other non-factor.

No question, Weis has this team and program in a better place, it's just not a BCS team.

Just to be clear, I'm not arguing that the current team is BCS-worthy. But I am saying that Weis will recruit players who will make them legitimately in the title mix, not just hyped because they're ND.

And again, I realize I may have fanboy blindness here.

The score should have been 60-7. The refs were trying to keep it close.

We agree. The thing we might disagree on is that it's often hard to know the difference between a "real deal" Irish and the variety we saw this year. They get the benefit of every doubt, which makes them no different than many name teams, but their big break is they never have to prove it against a conference sked.

I think Ohio State as No. 1 is much more ridiculous and downright laughable than Notre Dame at No. 2

The Irish No.2 in the nation man you make me laugh.

LSU exposes Irish in historic Sugar Bowl loss
By Mark Schlabach
ESPN.com

NEW ORLEANS -- Even after Notre Dame lost its ninth consecutive bowl game Wednesday night -- yet another one in ugly fashion with a 41-14 loss to No. 4 LSU in the Allstate Sugar Bowl -- there is hope for Fighting Irish fans.

Even without record-setting quarterback Brady Quinn, receiver Jeff Samardzija and many more of its best players next season, Notre Dame will finally end its postseason drought, now the longest in NCAA history.

Do these stories get edited? It's the longest bowl losing streak in NCAA history, but certainly not the longest postseason drought. The Irish certainly has won a bowl game since Duke last won a bowl game.

A record nine straight bowl losses now? I can't understand how people get excited when your team plays like leprachauns when it matters.
