Our day will come

Not sure if Charlie will be the coach next week or next year, but things will have to get better for the Irish in the coming years. Bowl bids are going to be interesting. I can see us being invited but not accepting. Or worse, accepting and not taking the band! Cause the band was the star of the show yesterday. The ND band was great and got a very nice reception at halftime from the USC crowd. I doubt the TV showed the "we are babies and jerks" USC halftime show which was basically themed "here are all the songs you missed ND band while we were beating you here in the Coliseum over the last 35 years". Really bush league. They did not refer to any of the years during the 13 year stretch of Irish victories in the 80-90's by the way. And that stupid Trojan band never stops playing!

Anyway, the game played out how everyone expected though I was impressed by the defensive performance for most of the game. They came to play. The offense on the other hand is just plain terrible. Nothing else to say about it.

Forgot how lousy that stadium is to watch a game; the ND section was way up in the crow's nest at the torch end of the stadium. Very hard to see anything. 6 years ago we were in the closed end of the horseshoe and could see a bit better. But any former bandie would have been proud to see the Band of the Fighting Irish on that grass. It made us very happy and we were thrilled to be there for it.

Go Irish, Beat Somebody!
