The Fighting Irish?

Last week, I ragged on the University of Michigan football team after laying an egg against Appalachian State and then laying another one against Oregon. They found a junior high team to beat up on this week. How awful is Notre Dame football team? The team of Knute Rockne, Lou Holtz and others is now 0-3!

If were a Notre Dame fan, I would be be embarrassed. Notre Dame has always had the ability to recruit nationally, often getting the best players. It is fast becoming a picture of utter futility.

Rally sons of Notre Dame:
Sing her glory and sound her fame,
Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true:
Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in ev-ry game,
Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne'er forget her
And will cheer her ever
Loyal to Notre Dame

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.


Somehow this rings hollow after a 38-0 beatdown by a subpar Michigan team with a freshman QB. The Irish have 0 offensive TDs this year. 0.

At least they scored an offensive TD against Michigan State. That is some progress.
