Keep the faith JMI, the sun will rise tomorrow.

I am not a bandwagon fan, but thanks for your support.

See you in November.

I must say that I am surprised I am not getting the abuse I deserve.

We're wearing our Green Jerseys, so that alone should have them shaking in their boots.

A little history behind the series:

IRISH - TROJANS SERIES HISTORY


This rivalry began in 1926, when legendary Irish head coach Knute Rockne became the first Midwestern coach to take a team to the West Coast (Notre Dame won that game, 13-12) and the teams have meet every season since (taking 1943-45 off due to travel restrictions during World War II).

Notre Dame has won eight Associated Press national titles while USC has won five.

The Irish have been selected as a national champion by at least one legitimate poll in 19 seasons, USC lists 16 such campaigns.

Notre Dame began the 2007 season second on the all-time winning percentage and total victories lists. USC is not far behind in ninth and 10th place, respectively.

Instantly recognizable coaches have stalked the sidelines for each team. Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine, Lou Holtz and Charlie Weis for Notre Dame. Howard Jones, John McKay, John Robinson and Pete Carroll for USC.

This meeting will be the 79th all-time meeting in NCAA college football's top intersectional rivalry. USC has each of the past five meetings and eight of 11 overall. The Trojans' five-game winning streak is tied for their longest in series history. USC also won five straight from 1978-82. Notre Dame's longest winning streak is 11 meetings from 1983-93

I am putting this game on Upset Alert for PS.com

Here come the IRISH!!!

I haven’t posted often and have instead reserved my right to quietly lurk and learn…

HOWEVER… I did post a few times on this particular thread prior to the kick-off of the season and I figured this would be the perfect time to pick back up on the topic at hand, because it’s the opportune occasion to really encourage y’all to switch periodically from the baseball game tonight to ESPN and catch up on my university:

The number 2 ranked University of South Florida Bulls. Remember these names: George Selvie, Tyrone Mackenzie, Ben Moffitt, Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams… all on our D, all going to be playing prominently on Sundays.

Again, I encourage y’all to check us out.

Thanks.

Counsel, all the Div-A teams that lose to Div-AA teams should really refrain from smack talk. (Hint - you're the only one that qualifies, okay hero?)

Your team was ranked 2nd - 2nd in the Nation - and fell all the way out of the Top 25. Not only that, your team is the first Div-A team in the HISTORY OF THE NCAA to lose to a Div-AA. Now don't get me wrong I love the smack I take as a Notre Dame fan because it comes with the territory.

But dude, you lost to a team that is a player or two from being DIV-III, so I am not impressed with your 25th ranking.

My team is losing with freshman and sophmore kids playing. Your team is chock full of Senior and Junior choke artists lead by the leader of chokers - Lloyd "I can't win againt Ohio State" Carr.

Stifle your smack talk about Michigan kiddo. I have researched the NCAA and cannot find a team that was favored to be in the BCS National Championship Game only to fall COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TOP 25.

So, be honest, are you're happy to be @ #25 in the BCS giving the #2 ranking in the preseason? Is that what Michigan fans have accepted for success now? Being ranked at the absolute bottom? Think about that for a second when you ask where Notre Dame is, a team not ranked anywhere near Michigan. Point the finger at rebuilding Notre Dame all you want, it doesn't change the fact that your team is in the Chick Fila Bowl, kid. (Here is a hint: When you get inside the top 10, talk smack. If not, start beating Div-AA teams and work your where up from there. )

And when you beat the Buckeyes in Novemeber you can talk. Until then your team is left wanting, as usual. What's Carr's record against Jimmy T? 1-6?

That's what I thought.

You know, you are demeaning all Div-AA programs with your comments.

Um, no. App. State was the 2005 and 2006 Div. AA Champs.

Now, this is just to much anger for your own good.

If, and granted it is a big IF, we win on November 17 my "talk" will be turned up a notch or 10. But first the Fighting Illini, which is a big hurdle.


STILL BELIEVE BABY
