January 22, 200818 yr IMO, ND is 2 years away from being back in contention. Weiss has put together 3 top 5-10 recruiting classes.
January 22, 200818 yr IMO, ND is 2 years away from being back in contention. Weiss has put together 3 top 5-10 recruiting classes. I thought it was the last 2 years but I could be wrong.But I agree they are 2 years away from being back in the spotlight unless they fool us next year.
January 22, 200818 yr Agree 7 wins isn't back for ND. It is on the right track though. I don't agree. I understand your point, you have to walk before you can run, but ND should NEVER have to look for a 7 win season as a step in the right direction! Just my opinion, but ND should be competitive with the Oklahoma's, Florida's, West Virginia's, Ohio State's, USC's, etc. 7 wins would not be acceptable at these programs, as it is not at ND. Full disclosure, I am Catholic and LOVE Notre Dame so take everything with that in mind, but the Irisih should have 7 wins built in to the schedule and be around 9-10 wins every year and competeing for National Championships to truly be headed in the right direction. ND is trying to regain past glory; this is the tradition and this should be the goal.
January 22, 200818 yr Author With the players ND has coming in and the depth of their class's the past couple years. ND will be national title contenders in 09 IMO.
January 22, 200818 yr Author Honestly at best .500 IMO. Clausen showed me no promise. Are you serious? Clausen will have a better line this year with some great TE's and WR's. He will be good this year and heisman canidate in 09.
January 22, 200818 yr Author He has a year under his belt. He is not competing for the spot. A entire offseason that started in dec with weis working on him. Plus the players around him are getting a lot better buddy.

January 22, 200818 yr Author But i'm sure CW will be working Clausen to be better than Quinn. Good point. Clausen IMO will be better then quinn in the long run b/c weis will have more time to work with him.
January 22, 200818 yr Here is the 2008 schedule: Sept. 6 - San Diego State Sept. 13 - Michigan Sept. 20 - @Michigan State Sept. 27 - Purdue Oct. 4 - Stanford Oct. 11 - @North Carolina Oct. 25 - @Washington Nov. 1 - Pittsburgh Nov. 8 - @Boston College Nov. 15 - vs. Navy (Baltimore) Nov. 22 - Syracuse Nov. 29 - @Southern California They CAN win all but two of those games.....I look for quite a drastic improvement...somewhere around 7-5.
