I could go on about this for hours and very in-depth, but I'll keep it short, sweet, and to the point!!!
For the first time in their storied existence the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 0-4 to start a season. As a diehard ND fan it pains me to see the team in such bad shape. Not only has ND lost their first four games, they have looked uninspired . . . and borderline pathetic during the current losing streak.
The offensive line has shown in-experience, a lack of speed, and the overall talent to fit into the ND scheme. Jimmy Clausen, the freshmen quartback that was touted as the "Lebron James of football" has struggled showing a lack of a arm strengh, poor pocket presence, and the ability to fit the ball into tight defensive coverage. up until today, the Irish running game has been extremely poor managing just 1 rushing yard over the first three games.
The defensive has looked good times, only faultring when they are forced to be on the field for 40+ minutes a game. The offensive has been 10 shades of terrible, showing very little signs of life, going three plays and out the majority of the time. All Irish fans knew this was going to be a tough season, that seeds of rebuilding were planted long ago when ND lost its star quartback Brandy Quinn and many other offensive weapons that made the time click.
ND expects excellence out of their football program, other than academics, football is the flagship of the university. ND is kind of like the Yankees, they expect to win . . . and losing is rarely a feesible option.
I love coach Weis, the man is an offensive genius, and is responsible for the great play calling that made Tom Brady a premier quarterback . . . and Brandy Quinn the toast of college football in 2005.
People, fans and announcers alike, seem to hate ND, I guess it just comes with the territory of being the most successful team in division I football history. Laugh it up now, haters, because Notre Dame may be down and out now, but trust me when I say the talent is coming . . . . and all the so-called "experts" will soon regret dis-counting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Coach Charlie Weis.

Certainly a diehard fan!
What specifically do you see that will ensure this turnaround in their fate?
Charlie Weis has had three years of recruiting, in those three years his classes have been ranked 11th, 5th, and 1st, so things are definitely on the rise once the talent gets there.
