What Do We Really Know About The Fighting Irish?

Two posts back we discussed what we knew about the Crimson Tide.  Turn around is only fair play.

1.  The Irish are 12-0 and the Tide is not.

2.  Irish have the best player in college football leading the defense and is one of two defensive team captains.

3.  Speaking of defense, the Irish do not have a good defense.  They have a very, very good defense.

4.  The players are extremely hungry.  You tend to get that way when you haven’t been to the Big Dance in 24 years.

5.  As a group, they can sing the Fight Song and recite the Our Father faster than anybody.  I know, I’ve heard them in their locker rooms.

6.  The coaching staff is even hungrier.  A win will solidify some coaching careers and bring prominence to others.

7.  Regardless what Bama fans say, the Irish played a tougher schedule than those southern boys.

8.  The Irish won some nail biter games by the hair of their chinny-chin-chins.  They know pressure and they know how to come back.

9.  They know how to dance and sing “We’re going to the Ship”.  I know, I saw and heard them in the USC visitor’s locker room. 

10.  It would be very unwise to say anything nasty about Louis Nixs’ momma. 

11.  Jesus doesn’t care if Notre Dame wins, however his Mother does.  Nuff said.

12.  The Irish have a red-shirt freshman quarterback who is getting better by leaps and bounds.  They also have an experienced backup who can come in and win it if needed.

13.  The Irish are 12-0 with a non-existent punt return team and a disappointing kickoff return team.

 

14.  Notre Dame has some cute co-eds.
