Ok, ok... Notre Dame got beat in OT.
Someone tell Charlie Weis when your down 7points in the 4th qtr. with 6-1/2minutes left and you're in field goal range with 4th down... KICK THE FIELD GOAL!

Way to go Sparty!!!!!!

[Past Your Eyes]

You mean he didn't "tie one for the Gipper" like Ara done?

[inkling]

Whoa -- didn't Michigan just lose to the Irish?

[JRochelle]

Oh yeah!

[JRochelle]

Oh yeah!

[Pharmboy]

And after the Domers beat the Wolverines. Too bad...

[John Robertson]

Echo, I just got word:

Weis has been fired.

You're the new coach.

Time to get your...self out of the armchair.

Look, it was a heartbreaker (for those of us who love ND).

I was sort of hoping that 4th and 15 play early in the game would set the tone, for daring play, but there just wasn't enough of that stuff.

But I must say: it was one of the best college games I have seen in some time (and both my Junior ND daughter and my 12-year-old son were there).

How do you think this will affect ND in the rankings?

Don't Mess with the BIG TEN. Last week was a fluke. We will kick your behind everytime. Goodbye ND.

[Echo Talon]

No we were down 7pts and he went for it on 4th down.
DID NOT get the first down... Then the defense stopped them and after that we scored a TD to tie the game. IF Charlie would have kicked the FG, we then could have stopped them, then scored the winning TD in regulation. I liked how he was aggressive during the early parts of the game but come on! in that situation what if Michigan would have gotten a FG? then your pretty much scr*wed!

[Echo Talon]

Yes, Michigan lost to the Irish, Michigan State beat them in Overtime.

My boss is beserk in his love for the Wolverines... I better not mention that the Spartans are better this year :-)

I don't care who beats Notre dame as long as Notre dame goes out of the game losers.

[Echo Talon]

But I must say: it was one of the best college games I have seen in some time (and both my Junior ND daughter and my 12-year-old son were there).

First of all I wouldn't want his job. He IS a good coach, wish I were on the sidelines to nudge him into kicking that field goal though! I was like WTF is he doing!

Yes, it was a great game and the Irish come back and looked great doing it. I think they will lose about 8-10 spots... not sure...

[jocon307]

You are so right, he really blew their chance to win. Very annoying. Hubby is annoyed too. Of course, the field goal would not have helped hubby.

I better not mention that the Spartans are better this year :-)

I mentioned last week in the ND thread that I thought Mich. State was better than Michigan. I was right.

[grellis]

I didn't have to watch it to know how the game was going--the neighbor acros the street could be heard a mile away, play by play.

[Physicist]

Fire the coach!

[ralph rotten]

Go TOMMY

[Echo Talon]

Fire the coach!

NO! I think if he had it to do over he would kick the field goal.
They make a great comeback, just think he got a little to carried away with the gambling, especially at that point in the game.
