    and Sports. Specifically ND football.

    Sunday night the Irish held a scrimmage at the stadium open to the students.

    Now up till the reports started filtering in, I was very optomistic about the season. Young team with a lot of talent but very young talent, not many 4th or 5th year Sr's. Schedule is less difficult than last year. I'm ready to Rock.

    Now these students are posting reports that the OL is a sieve, that Clausen is a rag arm, the defense couldn't sack their momma...I am so bummed out!! I don't know what to believe anymore.

    If the students knew anything about football, they wouldn't have been so optimistic about last year.

    How can your Oline be a sieve at the same time your defense can't sack their momma?

    So what the students saw was your DL breaking through with ease, but then falling over themselves before reaching the guy with the ball?

    Somehow me thinks they protest too much!

    Bingo.

    Terry, it probably won't happen overnight, but you can't get as many high rated recruits and keep them in school as Charlie is getting and not do well.

    Over time of course.
