I've followed ND since I was a kid (though I'm an LSU guy at heart) and I was curious to know what people thought about them this year.

I know they've lost a lot of talent, but are the underclassmen good enough to pick up the slack?


So...how about it? Will they finish with a winning record? Bowl game? Or will they suck?

RS...that is a shame (ND going to bowls over teams with more wins from small conferences)

A bit me took a lot of joy in watching ND being manhandled by LSU...but many die-hards refuse to be humble.

Well, you can count on beating Navy like they have the last 43 years in a row. If they finish 8-4 or 7-5, I will be impressed. 6-6 is a long shot even, but I think that might be feasible. Of course a 6-6 Notre Dame will be selected to a bowl game over an 8-4 (and more deserving) MAC, WAC, C-USA, or Sun Belt team. If they get to a bowl game, you can expect that the nation's longest bowl game losing streak will continue.

they will get a bowl game only because of their name--they will lose another bowl game-----saying that i think charlie wies is an excellant college coach and he will have some great teams just not this year

This is gonna be a tough year. If they are lucky they will be .500. I don't see a bowl this year...

dont think that they will make .500 this year,,,,, and no way will they sneak into another bowl game,,, think that they have lost like their last 9 bowl games,,,, and last years BCS game was a rip off,,,, they had no business being there,,,,,,
