Where's the goose egg?

If they don't beat duke and stanford, I will die laughing

[Gvlax]

navy, air force, duke, and stanford. No chance agaisnt any other team.

I agree, there must be a zero option or posting this poll is meaningless. This is an absolutely pathetic Irish team, quite possibly the worst in the nation and definitely a candidate to go winless.

Count me among those who won't cast a vote until all the options are listed.

I watched stanford play last night and for 1 quarter they werent bad, granted we had three turnovers that quarter, but still. If they can put it together, I think they can even beat the JV football team they have out there in South Bend

I think it more resembles my highschool freshman squad, and even they would give the irish a good game.

[jessexy]

anybody play Spades? ND has one win and a possible (like books). They'll beat Stanford but Duke can still put up points. They lost last week but put up 43 against Navy.

[Johnnielax13]

ND will win 0

I guess this thread pretty much dies after ND beat Penn State... HMM interesting.

I thought that was Michigan that rose from the dead against the Nittany Lions - Penn State isn't even on ND's schedule?

[dubbs11]

yea, ND lost to michigan state last week

[ZagGrad]

ND played Penn State right after Ga Tech.

Based on last year's and this year's recruiting classes (18th and 24th in the nation) not much can be expected out of the program. How can a former pro coach be expected to do well with sub-par athletes? I'm not excusing the lack of adjustment on Weis and his staff, but there's only so much output you can get...

The program will be back on it's feet in 2-3 years...guaranteed.

Please tell me you're kidding. Some coaches would love to have the 18th and 24th ranked recruiting classes and I would venture that some coaches that do have lower ranked recruiting classes are doing much better than ND is right now. Cal hasn't been great in football consistently since the 1920s, but they are doing much better now with a good coach. I doubt their recruiting classes are much higher than ND's, if at all. Perhaps it could be that Weis is not the genius that he is cracked up to be.

You guys really think Stanford is the most likely?? This is a Stanford team that was leading at halftime against Oregon by 7. This Stanford team is not bad, they are turning things around with Harbaugh. They won't win the big games this year (unless you consider ND big ) but they will compete in all their games.

Also, it is AT Stanford, and ND traditionally does not play well at Stanford, just look two years ago when the mighty Domers only pulled out the win by a couple points even with ultra-golden boy Quinn under center.

If you want to find a win on that schedule you have to look at home and you have Navy and Duke which are two legitimate weak programs. Air Force is solid, they just beat TCU, and Duke is rebuilding (finally ending their horrendous losing streak). I think Duke will pull out the W on the road but Navy has had some injuries and was not a good team to begin with. Look for one win against the OTHER golden domers.
