You have seen the worst team Notre Dame will field during the Charlie Weis era.

Great, there is nothing like losing to Notre Dame on opening day to really set the tone.... (Georgia Tech, Class of '87)

of course keith is a bunch older too. :)

Hey the BIG thing is that we will get Herbie for a couple of the games. He's a good color commentator.

>>LOL

oops :)<<

That's OK. We schedule like this all the time and every 5 years or so we get a big upset... and heck, we still hold the record for largest margin of victory ever in a college football game.

well there is that LOL

Actually GT doesn't look that bad this year. You will contend for the ACC division title I think.....your main rival in that division will be Miami, but as other teams have shown, they can be beaten on a good night....
