OK I am aware that my team is not doing too well but lets keep it in perspective.
This is only the second time in Notre Dame history that a team has started a season 0 and 3. The last time that happened was 2001. The most games the team has ever lost in a row is 5 and no team/coach has ever started a season at 0-4. So either this Saturday will see a return to winning for my guys or Coach Weis will go down in the history books for being the first coach at Notre Dame to lead his team to 4 straight losses at the beginning of the season.
The funny thing is the Irish Defense is awesome, if only their offense could step it up. The Wolverines quarterback Ryan Mallett only threw for 90 yards against Notre Dame, leading to a season average of 114.0 passing yards against.
If the Irish could hold this average, it would be the best single season pass defense since 1980 when the Irish surrended only 103 passing yards per game.
Well next game is Michigan State. Lets Go Irish! These people don't show up to watch you loose!

What woman spends the entire blog talking about a football team?Especially one that hasn't made a mark in college football in nearly 15 years?
To Ben: Yours.
To Esther: you crack me up, girlie! Good luck to your team!
Just some food for thought for my hus-Ben
Notre Dame has won more consensus national championships and produced more All-Americans than any other Division I-A school. Additionally, 7 Fighting Irish football players have won the Heisman Trophy.
* Notre Dame is one of a few schools to have over 800 wins. Some other schools with 800 wins are Michigan, Nebraska and Texas.
* Notre Dame has the 2nd highest winning percentage in NCAA history (.744), second only to Michigan(.745).
* The football program is tied with USC for most Heisman trophy winners at 7 (Ohio State has 7 Heisman trophies that were won by 6 players).
* It has also produced the most All-Americans, including consensus All-Americans(79 with 96 selections).
* Nine former players are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, second only to USC(10). Notre Dame has produced the largest number of players to go on to play in the National Football League of any program in the country. As of the 2007 NFL draft, 459 players have been drafted. [3]
* Helped by its status as a highly regarded academic institution (ranked 19th by U.S. News & World Report) [4], Notre Dame is second only to Nebraska in Academic All-Americans (43).
* Notre Dame is represented by 47 players and coaches in the College Football Hall of Fame, the most of any university.
* Since 1962, Notre Dame has graduated 98.74% of its football players in four years. As of 2006, only 13 football players in this time have left Notre Dame without finishing their degree requirements. Also of note is the 90% graduation rate of ND's African-American players (only Navy and Boston College have higher African American graduation rates)[5]
* Notre Dame has had 12 undefeated seasons and 10 others with at most 1 loss or tie. Notre Dame has only had 12 losing seasons in 118 seasons of playing football.
* The football program is also known for ending the Oklahoma NCAA record winning streak of 47 games in 1957. Incidentally, Oklahoma's 28-21 loss to Notre Dame to open the 1953 season was the last loss before the beginning of the streak.
