OOOOOOOOOOOOOrahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! And I'm not even a Marine! I know AJ would have a saying about how those make him feel, I just can't remembe it!
Speaking of former Irish, Terrail Lambert looked very good at CB for the Colts last night in their exhibition game vs. Buffalo played in Toronto.
ND <r>The Quinn to Samardzija pass has a lot of special meaning as Brian and I were sitting in the same end zone where Samardzija ran that pass in for a TD. Never heard that stadium as loud as it was when he scored. Still gives me chills thinking about it. Best ND gameday memory ever for me. <br/> <br/> Geez, I'm ready for some ND football!!! <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E></r>
I was there as well Tim, I'll bet right before that play you were like me lower than Whale Sh*t, then they make that play ...we win and I go nuts!!
I was in that same endzone too, on the other side, behind the UCLA band. When Samardzija caught that ball, my heart sank. He was too far inside to get out of bounds and we had no way to stop the clock. I thought we were gonners, but then he eluded their entire team and raced in! It was the loudest, most sustained crowd roar that I've ever heard in South Bend and I just screamed hysterically until my voice gave out... ........JO'Co

I love the nostalgia and goose bump moments just as much as anyone. That being said.. it's just time to f*cking win and that's that. No more excuses.. just win.

ND <t>Corey, <br/> I agree. To many years of talk and not enough wins. ND needs to kick Purdue's arse right out of the chute and get this season off to a good start. There is no reason why they shouldn't either. That will give me some chills.</t>
Kelly <r>Nice local interview with Kelly:<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/sports/Sports-OT-Notre-Dames-Brian-Kelly"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/sports/Sports ... rian-Kelly">http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/sports/Sports-OT-Notre-Dames-Brian-Kelly</LINK_TEXT></URL><br/> <br/> I like what he says about the personnel on D at ND are better suited to the 3-4 defense that what he had at Cincy. <E>8)</E></r>

8) Carlo is a big-time hitter; no doubt about that. But the acid test will be if he can get his arse back in time to stop quick passes over the middle, something that Anthony McDonald is very good at...
Stopping the run is the #1 task. The Irish have been getting gutted between the ends for a long, long time. When a team can run it opens up the entire arsenal. The converse is true if you shut the run down. You are right. He has to be able to get back into his drop area. He is very athletic. He played MLB in a 4-3 in HS . He also playe DE, QB, WR and TB. He usually played all these in the same game.
McDonald has been upgraded for Purdue, Carlo will start but we might see Anthony. Anthony was an outstanding LB in HS, injury bug has held him back at ND hopefully he's got that behind him now. We'll need all those guys!
