I went to my first ever Notre Dame football game and shot this high-definition video. If you've never been to a Notre Dame game, I'd highly recommend adding it to your list.

The typical cast of "haters" need not bother. Please. We've heard it ad nauseum.

nice vid!
went to my first and so far only game in 89 i think. Played Navy which ND played both times I have seen them now.
Easily the coldest I have ever been in my life. Windchill was something like -16 or so at game time. Irish won and my Dad and I had a lot of fun.

been to 4 in my lifetime...each are amazing each time...my friend is so lucky, hes a backup quarterback! gets to live the experience everyday. (he went to my highschool when i was a sophomore)

I believe some day the Irish will be back on top - for a while at least - of college football.

Man, what did you shoot that vid with? CRYSTAL clear!

[BriGTi]

i usually hate to resurrect old post but GO IRISH!

[Onewaggle]

Go Irish indeed!

[freddyottawa]

Yes sir, Great to see them back amongst the elite!

[moegolfer11]

Can't wait till this weekend I would love to see them go 12-0 and the only undefeated team in the NCAA. I just hope they wouldn't get destroyed by whatever SEC team they play in the 'ship

[bumpNrun24]

Go Irish!!!!!!!

[mshills]

I've been to one game at ND, when Ohio State played there in 1996.  This was before the Irish expanded the stadium.  We had a great time -- the atmosphere was nothing like the big state schools in the Southeast -- much more subdued, but still a great time, beautiful campus, and the ND fans were great to us visitors from Ohio.

I would like to go back and see the enlarged stadium.

[poizster]

I like the Irish but I have serious doubt about them going into the Coliseum and beating USC. Despite the fact that Barkley is out, despite the fact that Lane Kiffin is the most overrated coach in the country, I just don't see the Irish winning this game. I hope I'm wrong.

[Myherobobhope]

Never been to a game...

but I have been in the locker room and on the field.

Yeah, yeah. Congrats Notre Dame. But honestly, if they played any team from the SEC, other than Kentucky, they would get destroyed because the defense in the SEC is so good. Notre Dame hasn't played a team with a good defense yet, they really haven't played a good overall team, either. Regardless of this, great season Notre Dame.

Oh SEC guy, are you seriously saying Stanford doesn't have a good defense? I agree, the SEC would crush Notre Dame but c'mon Stanford's defense for all intensive purposes is an SEC defense.

ahem, you mean the only bowl eligible undefeated team?

ND has put a great season together for sure, but, I find it tough to see them get past Bama.  I can imagine Bama dropping a beating on them like Florida did to my Bucks a few years back.

If Bama doesn't make it though, I can see ND doing it.

The SEC is extremely overrated this year.

[Gripit_Swiftit]

Be honest with yourself The Next Tiger, Bama should be a two loss team.  If LSU didn't absolutely puke on themselves at the end of BOTH halves of that game they would have beat Bama by 17.

With that said, I do not believe ND is the best team in the country either. They are a great team and I am a HUGE ND fan but they definitely have some holes.  They do have a great defense though and they deserve a shot IF they beat USC.

[freddyottawa]

Alright then, Go Irish!

[SilverBullets]

Kind of a shame we won't get to see tOSU play ND in the title game (at least for Buckeye fans).

Since we're talking about losses that SHOULD have happened...shouldn't ND have lost to Pitt.  Seems like I remember a late bogus PI call that allowed their game-tying drive to continue in the last few minutes of the game.

I couldn't care less about either team. I don't have a favorite college team and just like to see a good game.

It is when you don't want your team to play them. Generally, teams from other "big" conferences play the SEC and don't fare well majority of the time.

Going for ND, but please someone explain this to me:

You're USC, and you're down by 9. You've gone for it on first, second, and third and goal, failing miserably. Why do you not kick the field goal to make it a six point game and give your defense a chance to get the stop, then go for the winning drive to close out the game? Am I missing something?

Yes weird decision, but that's Lane Kiffin.

Exactly what I thought.  You go for it and don't get it, you automatically lose the game.  At least with a FG you've still got a chance.

And can anyone more knowledgeable about the BCS thing tell me how it's "fair" for a team like Alabama, GA, Oregon, etc... to have to play a tough "unscheduled" conference championship game while a team like ND doesn't have to.  It's just one more really tough game you have to get through to get the the National Championship game while ND sits at home.

Absolute clown work right there....

Kiffin is the most arrogant coach in sports. AD at USC should fire his sorry arse immediately...

[2putttom]

USC "s kicker couldn't hit a water tower from twenty yards. Perhaps you missed the previous weeks game when USC missed consecutive field goal tries.
