I Couldn't Have Been More Wrong About Notre Dame This Season.

A few days after Notre Dame's best defensive player in 2011, freshman Aaron Lynch, transferred to South Florida in April, I wrote this about Brian Kelly and Notre Dame: Freshman superstar and future 1st round lock leaves.

Hell pretty much everyone on Topix couldn't have been more wrong. We have already won more games at the halfway point than almost everyone said we would win all season. There is a lot of wrong going around, I thought Arkansas would be better but to my defense, they lost their coach. We didn't lose or gain anything of great value so everyone picking us to only win 6 or 7 games were wrong because they are ignorant.

[BigDan]

We have to win 2 of our last 5 for it to be a good season for us according to my expectations that were posted on here coming into the season. I like my odds. My bold predictions were for next season.

Well then, I guess you won't mind if my Trojans give you of those 3 losses.

I mind. But it's not because I want to be right, it's just because I want to beat USC. I'm sure you feel the same way.

The ND defense was a bit of a surprise on how well they have meshed together this season. But yes we will be giving them one of their losses (I still stick with my revised 2 touchdown Trojan win)!!!

FIGHT ON

While that might be true BIG Dan, I always had hope for your Irish, not a lot of faith mind you, just hope. Same goes for my Bruins :/

Go Bruins, hopefully at least one of us will beat USC this year!

Unfortunately, I am almost certain Mister CPEM that your Trojans will be the 5th or 6th loss for my Bruins :(

Well I hope my 5th ranked Irish pull off the upset of the 8th ranked sooners?

This game will be a serious reality check for you guys. You beat them (and soundly) and I will even admit I will then be worried about the Trojan/Irish game!

You should have been worried a long time ago. If we lose to them you should still be scared to death. You aren't in their league at the moment. You have some skill players but they are better across the board. If we beat them, I'll be no more or less worried about playing USC. It's a rivalry game so even though I think we are better than USC I know that they are good enough to win.

He makes me proud as a fan, makes me even more proud as a human being. The great thing is that this isn't the first time for him. He is just a good guy. In no way is he perfect but he seems like the type that makes it his goal to be a better man every day. He isn't the only guy out there doing good things but it seems like it has become rare to hear stories like these rather than the bad from athletes.

CTs prediction: USC by 14 points. And your take?

You might be able to score 14 if everything goes perfect is my prediction.

The problem with LSU is that Honey Badger is the norm there. It would be different if it was an isolated incident.

think it will be fun, as of right now, we'll have everything to lose and you'll have nothing to lose.
