Fact is, just like the Yankees and the Cowboys, Notre Dame is always relevant no matter what their record, even Michigan's AD understands this; thats why they planned the Under the Lights game to be vs Notre Dame, thats why, even though the Under the Lights game was between 2 unranked teams, it was the highest rated college football game EVER on ESPN. People care about Notre Dame, people either absolutely love them or hate them with every bone in their body. So even when Notre Dame is bad, people who hate them will tune in to watch them play because they love to watch them lose.<br /><br />I dont know how ND continues to recruit at a high level but they do, and they are still very much in play for some of the top recruits in the country in Kiel, Keith Marshall and Shaq Thompson as well as a host of other very good players. <br /><br />The fact is, Kelly was right about what he said about his players, but he shouldnt have gone to the media about it, just like the players shouldnt have gone to Twitter to complain about it. I think ND is a sleeping giant. If (and thats a very big IF) Kelly can figure it out and fix all the problems that have developed over the last 20 years, it wont take much for ND to be very good again.<br /><br />Also, I dont know what MSU/ND game you were watching, but ND dominated MSU in all facets of the game. Heck they tried as hard as they could to give the game to MSU and still won. ND could very easily be 7-1 instead of 5-3.GoTwinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08052035912085285753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-40603194120295262072011-10-30T12:41:23.007-07:002011-10-30T12:41:23.007-07:00Thanks Jer89.Thanks Jer89.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928436032945169370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-80128309787183331882011-10-30T12:31:13.785-07:002011-10-30T12:31:13.785-07:00Well I think its safe to say Dunn is not a option ...Well I think its safe to say Dunn is not a option anymore he "enjoyed the atmosphere in the shoe " Wisconsin choked againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-19483091172888842122011-10-30T11:44:24.486-07:002011-10-30T11:44:24.486-07:00Keith,

They must have wa...Ahh yes he heard a good speech. They must have watched Rudy before the game.<br /><br />Hoke's demeanor on the field is encouraging alone. His attitude as to what we should be doing. That 4th and goal that we didnt get, the look on his face after 3rd down was... Run the play... it was a "I expect you to be able to score from there" look.<br /><br />Defensively you stop them on a 3rd down but Mattison is ticked off... because of 2 offsides penalties. Reiterating that type of defense is NOT acceptable... LOVE IT!<br /><br />Regardless if Payton or Banner comes or not, I think we are going to have players that fit and can be coached. I think thats more important then the number of stars a player gets.<br /><br />In terms of comparing ND's tradition and academics to Michigan...<br />Ill say that tradition wise if you look at former players and wins its not as far apart as you may think. But I still give Michigan the edge. We may not have our own hollywood movie, but the tradition is there. As far as academics.. <br />Not even close.<br /><br />Iowa and Illinois on the RD here and a better looking Nebraska team at Home. <br />Oh ya... those toons from down south after that as well. Lets hope Sparty chokes in another game and we run the table.<br /><br />Go Blue!C-Notehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801839436840853705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-69239457188113821882011-10-29T13:57:05.862-07:002011-10-29T13:57:05.862-07:00So far this year Kelly has.

My wife even made a comment today after watching a few plays. "Wow the coach UM has now is a whole lot better than that other coach they had."

This is year 1 for Hoke. He is trying to build the correct attitude and production of UM football and instilling this in all his players. I like the switching of the QBs, 1. it take the hits away from Denard,2. the D has to account for Denard, 3. most importantly its about getting real live action for Devin while keeping the kid engaged. Last thing we want is DG wanting to transfer, he is sandwiched bw Denard and Shane Morris coming in. Let the coaches coach, we won 36-14 in a game that wasn't as close as the score displays. What hoke is doing is a complete 180 from what RR did and what we are seeing in the mess at ND. we are seeing changes and performing up and exceeding some expectations at the 8th game of the season, lets enjoy this ride and continue to be proud and anxious for what we have now and in the futureall of the lightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163244137261237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-79798103969407358102011-10-29T13:38:53.520-07:002011-10-29T13:38:53.520-07:00ND hasn't been a relevant football program for...ND hasn't been a relevant football program for about 20 years. I still don't understand how they continue to get such good recruiting classes. There's no allure of winning a conference title and they haven't won a big game in years (and no beating a down USC team last year doesn't count). Kelly basically said all the players at the school recruiting by Weis are garbage and stink compared to the one recruiting class he has brought in. The upperclassmen then blew up twitter talking about it and were pissed. They have 3 losses this year and should have a fourth if MSU could figure out how to play on the road this year. It's ok if he goes there for a stupid excuse like it's his brother's dream. I'm more than fine with Madaris, Powe, Chesson, or Darboh and then hopefully Treadwell next year. However, if he does decide on the block M I won't hate him for it ;-)akmed2011https://www.blogger.com/profile/15792408914854951315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-91178896748913551402011-10-29T13:32:54.324-07:002011-10-29T13:32:54.324-07:00http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/716...http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7163847/brian-kelly-notre-dame-fighting-irish-offends-players-apologizes-report-saysall of the lightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163244137261237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-3445082017170540192011-10-29T13:20:50.584-07:002011-10-29T13:20:50.584-07:00@Jer

I think Michigan is good with the Rb situation and I believe Darboh, and Madris have more talent than Payton. Plus i would put my money on Treadwell committing '13 at WR.<br /><br />@cnote- if you read the article Payton talked about academics and the tradition and some speech a coach gave.

Those notes and more in this ITF EXTRA …<br /><br />Starting with five-star Mitch McGary out of Wolfeboro (N.H.)BrewsterAcademy, Rivals.com No. 3 player nationally…<br /><br />The 6-10 McGary is stillplanning on deciding next week, though thefamilyisn’t certain whether or not there will be a press conference. That’s up to Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy head coach Jason Smith, and he’s not returning texts at this point.<br /><br />Yesterday we wouldn’t have been able to give you a gut feeling. Today we can, and we’d say all signs point to Michigan.SourcesatDukeand Floridabothsay the respective staffs at those schools aren’t confident, and while that could change - it wouldn’t be the first time, and it shouldn’t completely stun anyone if McGary ends up somewhere else (this is basketball recruiting) - we are cautiously optimistic U-M is in the driver’s seat.<br /><br />This would be another sign that John Beilein’s program is on track to become the Final Four contender he envisioned when he took over at Michigan, and the most significant recruit at U-M since the 1990s. A class of McGary, Glenn Robinson III and NickStauskaswould beamong thebest in the country, and the Wolverines are looking good in ’13, as well, with wing Zak Irvin, point guard Derrick Walton, big man Mark Donnal and shooting guard Austin Hatch in the fold (though Hatch seems destined to reclassify to ’14 if and when he makes it back to the court following recovery from a traumatic head injury suffered in a plane crash).<br /><br />The bottom line: the future of Michigan basketball hasn’t been brighter since the Fab Five played in the early 90s.Jaylee714https://www.blogger.com/profile/05302614991806729705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-4415826920938990142011-10-28T15:10:04.568-07:002011-10-28T15:10:04.568-07:00Mich,
