Nope I expect, just like Kelly expects them to win. I see nothing wrong with that.

and pray tell, how do you know that kelly expects them to win?

I really hope we win. If we lose, the writing is on the wall that we will be a 7-5 or 6-6 team. If we win, it will mean we are getting better and a 10-2 season will be possible.

However, I expect to lose. The Irish don't look like a good team. They have not looked good in a single aspect of the game. This game is a terrible matchup for ND. A great passing team playing a lousy pass defense team. I don't think it will be close and the train wreck season reveals itself tomorrow night.

Well he is their Head coach and he says it all the time.

Lilly- I agree, a loss here it might look like a 7-5 season. Big step backwards after last year.

I haven't been excited about this game all week, I'm not excited now, and won't be excited tomorrow.

as long as ND beats USC then the season isn't complete garbage.

i never understood this thinking. so going say, 6-6 but beating a crappy usc team will do it for you? to me this sounds not so much like an 'i love nd' fan as an 'i hate usc' fan.

I would be more than happy beating a crappy USC team. lol We couldn't even beat a crappy Michigan team this year.

ideer- He talked about how he expects this team to be a BCS team this year at the start of the year.

yes i remember. BUT! .... a lot of you thought that. i think now most know better ... and i'm sure he does too.

 

[purguy12]

Well I had them at 9-3 at the start and got killed from some on this board. That was from the talent point of view but my hear and fan hood wants them to go 12-0 every year.

With ASU at the start of the year I had this as a win. Can we win this week yes will we win this week...we will find out Sat.

I think we win the game if we make it a point to run the ball throughout the whole game.
