Michigan State 44 - Notre Dame 41 FINAL OVERTIME...

[Echo Talon]

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!

You must be too young to remember the 10-10 tie. Same 2 teams. Back in the '60s, I believe.
Charlie Weiss done good here in New England but I'm with the other guy above who said he roots for whoever Notre Dame is playing. Football creates a vacuum anyway. But that's just MHO.

They were something like 3 for 3 in 4th down conversions. Weis got greedy.

[Echo Talon]

Weis got greedy.

Yep! kick the FG, stop them, score a TD(like they did anyhow) and you win in regulation by 3pts.

Born in '74 watching football since about '77 or '78 :)

Hey, even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then ";^)
But I still think football creates a vacuum.

[Echo Talon]

I love football. :) getting ready to listen to Purdue on the XM Radio here is the Channel and lineup if anyone is interested.

Time for me to go back over to the tractor board.

WOO HOO! That was one hell of a game.

[Dan from Michigan]

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.

Sorry about that...... :)

1966 I believe. Bubba Smith, later an all-Pro Defensive End for the Baltimore Colts, was a Senior at Michigan State at the time.

And I was a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire. Football still creates a vacuum. ";^)

Great game. I was sitting there with my remote control switching back and forth between this game and the Miami-Clemson game which also went into overtime. If I were a Notre Dame fan I would be proud of my team and feeling pretty good about the future.

[buckeyesrule]

He probably did not have confidence in the kicker. It would have been about a 40 yard FG.

[ConorMacNessa]

I would have gone for two and accepted the loss if I missed. Knute Rockne hated ties - "A tie is like kissing your sister."

[Echo Talon]

Why wouldn't you have confidence in him kicking a 40yarder, but in OT you let him kick(and make) a 44 yarder.

The Fighting Irish (2-1) rallied from 21 points down in the third quarter to tie the score, but had to settle for a 44-yard field goal by D.J. Fitzpatrick on their OT possession and couldn't make it stand up. Brady Quinn passed for a school-record five touchdowns and a career-high 487 yards, the second highest total in Notre Dame history.

This hurt very much to be sure, but I still feel good about this team, this coach, and even this season. We put up one hell of a fight and that is something that has been missing from the Irish for a very long time. Last year's Ty-coached team would've given up after MSU went up 38-17; coming back to tie and forcing overtime would've been inconceivable. We still have a long way to go, but we're on the right track.

Have no fear. Charlie's here.
