True, but I honestly feel ND will be in the hunt in the next few years.

Anyway,I have watched ND win 4 titles in my life, not many college football fans can say that.

Fans of Washington feel the same. Everybody thinks their team will be a contender in the next few years.

However. Charlie Weiss is fat.......and a cocksucker, and by god I hate ND :biggrin:

better than some ND teams? Sure.

Still has a ways to go to prove it's on par with USC, UF, OSU, Tex, OU, Bama, UGA, LSU. It has not reached the level of the Penn State's yet.

The upside is nice but for now that's all it is.

Chief, take a deep breath and step back.

When Weis came in, he did fine with Willingham's recruits. But Domer fans told us, "Just wait. He'll get his own recruits. Then, we'll be in the national championship hunt every year."

So, we waited. Every year, Charlie Weis bagged one of the top recruiting classes in college football. But Domer fans told us, "Just wait. He's still got Willingham's recruits. We've got great young talent. We'll be in the national championship hunt every year very soon."

So, we waited. And things got worse. But Domer fans told us, "Just wait. Charlie's now got top offensive and defensive coordinators. We've got great young talent. We'll be in the national championship hunt every year very soon."

So, here we are. Things have not improved in any meaningful way. Why argue about it?

I'd say the team is definitely headed in the right direction. The offense is much better and the defense is showing some signs of life. The special teams are still an unbelievable comedy of errors, but other than that, the overall ineptitude from last year is not there.

Certainly not a Top 10 team at this point and probably not Top 25, but they are improving.

It's going to have to get a lot better than that by next year if Charlie wants to keep coaching there. That's where a team like Michigan State or Kansas State should be.

ND went 1-1 the last 2 years against PSU. This year PSU beat a very over-rated Wisconsin team and only scored 20 against Purdue. PSU is good but I am not ready to give them elite status just yet.

Errrrr....that's why he didn't include Penn State with those other teams.

48 points at Camp Randall is impressive, even if Wisconsin is not as good as many thought they'd be. Trust me, Charlie doesn't want a piece of this year's Penn State.
