“pre-season top 25″ I can’t wait. Do we all remember the ND teams that “earned” BCS bid in the past? Those went well.

HAHAHA!

Nothing brings out the whiners like an Irish win.

“overated” “now they will be pre-season #1″ “Clausen will be a lock for the Heisman now”

whaaa whaaa whaaa

Even when we SUCK we can piss off most of the college football world. lol

GO IRISH!

and lock up Urban, that little campaign has just gone underground for another season…to be continued…

Yep… losing to Fresno St. does suck. I’d say it did lead to us getting Paul Johnson, but he was already hired by then.

37 – So they join a list that includes 3 other top 15 teams (SEC, WAC & Big East champions) and another team in Oregon State that was one game away from winning the Pac-10? If anything, you just proved Hawaii had a pretty tough schedule and may be better than their record indicates.

I think ND losing to Syracuse and going to the Hawaii Bowl is a blessing in disguise. Now their young players have potential, instead of being disappointments and their rosters is all underclassmen. If they had beaten Syracuse, they would have been 7-5, gone to a bowl they didn’t deserve (Gator or Cotton) and gotten destroyed by say Florida State or Texas Tech.

Most importantly, the bowl thing is done and it gives Mark May one less thing to bring up EVERY week during his ND bashing. ND is now a preseason top 25 team with a cakewalk of a schedule.

It’s like the Brady Quinn team, if anyone can remember how bad they were in 2004. They’re going 10-2 or 9-3 next year, get an invite to the Sugar Bowl and likely get mauled by an SEC team again. It’s the circle of Weis.

On another note, it’s always fun to watch Hawaii get bitch-slapped in their own house. They get like 10 home games a year, their players will hit you five seconds after the whistle and fight at the drop of a hat, and the crowd throws stuff at the players and fans of the other team. Really it’s like playing a team of convicts in a prison yard.

Benny: I just got off the phone with Gerg. He said you suck ass. Happy Boxing Day, bitch!

GTfridge: It does nothing. It is, however, better than losing to Fresno State in Boasey.

GTfidge, Not Doug, but let me give it a try. Let me take you back, back to the summer of 2008, life was easy, the economy was rolling, the housing market was strong, fuck that shit in Cali, south Florida and Nevada, not gonna effect me!, young boys dreamed of a Lindsey Lohan out of rehab, presidential primaries were winding down, four more Clinton years? or Mitt Romney!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5GtBrIENu4 Larry was set to announce a season with his best team yet (I must admit you can count me among the enemy fans who love Munson), kegs were being tossed at Talladega, the DAWGs were #1, never you mind the police blotter, damn right # 1!!! There is the question of the ball busting schedule, but fuck that! Let�s get this party started!

Dropped a spot after a W.

Hurdle! No coverage?!?! WTF?

SOS disintegrated, faced three teams with a pulse = three losses, two ugly. Preseason # 1 outside of the BCS lookin in. But they did beat the fuck out of the Rainbows in the Sugar Bowl!

And so it begins, not that ND would ever be overrated.

Nothing against Domer fans, but I would note that UF beat the Bows by 46 before declaring Weiss a savior.

And, yes, they beat my team by 39.

Since you insisted, how well does the momentum from beating Hawaii in a big bowl carryover?

By: Doug

Congrats, Irish. Now ask a Georgia fan about how well momentum from a big bowl win over Hawaii carries over into the subsequent season. Go on, ask me.

Aaaaaaand Notre Dame joins the list with:

Florida, Oregon State, San Jose State, Boise State, Utah State, and Cincy as teams that have beaten the Rainbows this year.

Not.That.Good.

#32,

Wonder how long it takes for some of those to make it on eBay? I hope they can get more than this:

OMG, Notre Dame beat the hell out of Hawaii. If history tells us anything, that fact alone leads to monumental success. A short trip down memory lane shows the last team to do that parlayed the win all the way to NUMBER ONE!!!!111!!! For all of one game, but WAHOOO!!!! WE’RE NUMBER ONE!!!!

Oh and Merry Christmas everyone!
