this question is only for notre dame fans or people who really know about college football. I want to know what you think:

1. Who the starting QB will be, (Sharpley, Jones or Clausen)

2. Who they will upset, meaning which of these teams will they beat, (USC, Michigan, Penn State, UCLA)

3. What bowl do you think they'll get to and what the outcome of that game will be ex: Cotton Bowl ND: 24 Tennessee: 17

I know it's WAY too early to talk about it, but I'm bored.

I believe that the upcoming season is going to be like an Irish Wake... if ND is .500 it will be a monumental accomplishment considering the talent that graduated or that went pro. Coach Weiss will have a Ty Willingham year... and I bet the ND brass will cut the (Anglo) head coach a lot more slack.

They wont beat penn state.. WHITE OUT FOR LIFE!!! WE ARE PENN STATE!!!!!!

It will be a rough year. But as long as they are competitive and the starting QB (whomever) get reps...I'll be happy.

Wont beat Penn? HA..like last year?

......here come the ND bashers w/ no facts...just opinions...all they can type is "sucks"....they cant even put in their teams name.....just watch

McBeatdowns for everyone who opposes.

GO IRISH!!!

1. I wouldn't be surprised to see Evan Sharpley start the season at QB...but ultimately, before the season is over, it will be Jimmy Clausen

2. I think they will beat all the powerhouse teams they play, with the obvious possible exception of Southern Cal...They are better than Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and UCLA...They won't do worse than 9-2...

3. Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State or Florida

1. probably sharpley to start out. Charlie says he knows the system the best DJ is the playmaker and Clausen is the best arm. I'll say Clausen starts the second half of the season.

2. USC... haha. that one is going to hurt. UCLA could be interesting. I give ND a decent shot against Michigan and Penn State.

3. I'm predicting 7 or 8 wins, a ranking near the end of the top 25 list, and a victory in a minor bowl game.

It is a rebuilding year but I think they will have a winning record. Sharpley will start but Clausen will take over half way through the season. They will go to a bowl game and lose again. Because they have a big following they get chosen for better bowl games against better teams.

Wow what is the kool aid in South Bend? Holy hell Notre Dame will be lucky to be 7-5 this year, let me repeat LUCKY. They are not going to beat USC, sure won't beat Michigan, Penn State, and UCLA on the road.

Not only are you prediciting a nine win season but a bowl win also. LOL when is the last time you won a bowl, the Reagan Administration?

1.Clausen. He'll be like his brother at Tenn.

2.PennState and Ucla. He's young. He can't handle that kind of big game pressure.

3.Probably Fiesta or Peach. They always BCS material.

QB= Jones
They will lose to all of them
they will be in the Emerald Bowl and they will lose to UCF 17-10
aND BY THE WAY, THE Gators will beat USC 35-21 IN The National Championchip game.
Repeat!!!!!!!!!!!!
