Hey guys, I can not take much more of this. I am a life long ND fan and Dolphin fan   . I have had 1 total victory to brag about this year and that was when ND beat UCLA, but UCLA had to use their 3rd string QB. Can someone please give me some encouraging words before I lose it and start watching soccer. 4th and 8 KICK THE FG!!!!!!! Tedd Ginn?  |

Dolphins will have a high draft pick, Notre Dame will probably have a new coach.

Well, I was born and lived most of my life about 10 minutes from Notre Dame and I was defiantly raised a Irish fan, but I don't know how the heck I became a Dolphin fan, only one in my family. Yes, the Dolphins will have a high draft pick, but last year they had #7 and blew it on Tedd Ginn and ND wont have a new coach thanks to Weis's contract extension that will keep him there until 2099 and a 15,000 dollar by out. Maybe I am little off on the years, but I think I am dead on with the by out. Any one know any winning soccer teams?  |

I have been a Lions fan since the Barry Sanders days.
It is so sweet to be reaping my rewards now. Stick to it.
ND will be fine, I promise.

I'm an Oregon Duck fan (lifelong) and a Pittsburgh Steelers fan (since 1970) so this season is pretty darn good!

I've been a season ticket holder for the 49ers since before I was born (37 years...I'm 35). I have gone through everything 49ers including what they call football right now.
There was a discussion today about certain NFL teams currently. Kids were saying, "it's all about the Packers right now" and "how bout them Steelers". I say, "Go Niners" and everyone laughed. I had a stone face and said, "Hey, I don't jump off the ship when it's sinking". Some people understood what I meant.

Always been a fan of the fish and the pirates. Beat that! My wife always tells me to choose new teams. She does not get it. I guess I always have the jayhawks, which also usually ends in heartbreak. |

If i really got to the point that I wanted to watch soccer.......
No, not even jumping off of a builiding is that low or even putting your n@ts in a vise . cheer up dude. Good things to come. You are just at rock bottom, no where but up. Soccer? That is what is holding up the rocks..
Just go out into the hall at school and talk to your kids. Brightens my day to just talk to them, sometimes though, even puts things into perspective after hearing what they go through on a regular basis. (not that this is good)
soccer?

"Hey, I don't jump off the ship when it's sinking" Wait House, I've never been in the Navy, but I think you're supposed to "abandon" ship when its already sinking, just not while its under attack  Unless your the Captain, then it's adios my friend |

Coach: I was 49ers Faithful when they went 2-14 in 1978 and again in 1979; I was 49ers Faithful when they went 14-2 in 1989, 1990 and 1992; and at the time, I told people (and I meant it) that I would still be 49ers Faithful when they went 2-14 again. I just didn't foresee that it would happen so soon... |

Hey. I've been so loyal to the Niners. As a season ticket holder I get questionaires by the front office regarding things with the stadium, concessions, etc. All these stupid questions about what kind of music should be played and how good the food is.....
My response to this stuff was...
"I don't care what music is played. I don't care how good/bad the food is. I want the team to draft better. I want the team to play harder. I want my monies worth spent on those areas. I don't care if they played games in the parking lot. I want the team to perform better".
I got a good response back.
I have been to some of the greatest football games in history. I was at the 94 NFC Championship vs. Dallas. I was at the game a few years ago when the Niners came back against the NY Giants and then they had that crazy field goal at the end of the game. I was at the game where Garrison Hearst broke a 91 yard run in overtime to beat the Jets. I was at the game where Terrell Owens caught that ball from Steve Young late to beat the Packers in the playoffs. I have seen Barry Sanders run wild on a Monday night vs. the 9ers. I was at OJ Simpson last professional game. I saw the 9ers wax the Chicago Bears 23-0 and Walter Payton was held in check. I was at the Monday night game where Mark Bavaro ran all wild on the Niners and Ronnie Lott and Phil Simms went nose to nose. I was at the game where the Minnesota Vikings destroyed the 9ers and Anthony Carter couldn't be stopped. I was there when Roger Craig fumbled the 9ers chances of 3 peating for the championship in 91.
What I am getting at is...those were fun even in the bad games. My two young boys, 5 and 7, are getting real close to understanding the whole thing. Going to games with them and passing on that legacy will be great.

I get a bunch of guff when I support my Broncos even if we do fall short there is a season for everyone and it has been a deluge of seasons for Denver since Elway retired.

You get to stock up on N.D. Merchandise at bottom basement prices maybe soon at no cost to you at all. Thing is get in line I'm probably older which means I have been a fan longer. Also a Bear Fan, from super bowl to toilet bowl in one season.Still,see ya at the store. Lived around Valpo.

dcohio, at least you do not cheer for the pitt panthers. History shows that wannstedt's teams tend to get worse the longer he sticks around. Looks like 4-8 this year. His tenure usually starts out strong and then goes on a steady decline.  |

The glass might be half full! Just got off ND's site and tickets are avaible for Air Force. Best seats 8 rows back right by the tunnel. Scary thing is they will be sold out by kick off. I think us Irish fans are either really loyal, really stupid, or just drunk. DCOHIO I am also a cubs fan so I got the wait untill next year thing down.

None of you understands my anguish -- this is the kind of year that Stanford will jump up and bite my beloved Golden Bears right where it hurts...
Oh, the humanity!
