Notre Dame Dominates...Yet Again.

We all saw what UND and Pickles can do when they played a lousy defense at the end of last season...but they really got to show their stuff this weekend as UND's offense played UND's defense in South Bend.

The quarterbacks, two former number-one recruits out of high school, Crist and Pickles gleamed like the golden dome. They went a combined 12/27, 0 TDs, 1 INT (for a TD).

Ooh, ooh, but Joe Montana was there to watch his son!! It was awesome. Nate Montana wowed the crowd with an aerial that included a pass to the third-team tight end for 34 yards.

But the awesome passing wasn't the only story. UND running backs pounded their great defensive line* for 4.2 yards/carry...and scored a ton of points and they all got to do coordinated dances after each score...it was cute.

Is everyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Probably not, but, are the echoes waking up again, seriously this time? Regardless, Irish football is once again rising to glory.

*Great defined as #45 in the nation v. the run

Crist the saviour (of UND football)

I know, I know, Jimmy Clausen is set to have a great follow-up season in '08...but let's be honest, the media was just kidding when they talked up Pickles and the rest of UND's recruiting class from '07, but they're serious this year...Notre Dame is going to be really, really good*, and Crist is on their side. Not Christ, as Jesus has always rooted for Notre Dame...but Dayne Crist, the bestestest quarterback to ever play at Notre Dame. I don't know how the Manatee will manage to line two quarterbacks under one center, but he's a genius, so he'll make it happen. Everyone's excited in South Bend- They're waking up the echoes, and whatever the hell else they do every other offseason at Notre Dame.

You know who else is excited about Notre Dame football? The media! The same guys that crowned Weis a genius...the same guys who tried to tell us Zbikowski was a good football player...the same ones who gave undeserving UND teams shots at BCS bowls...yeah, those guys are buying in yet again. I guess the last two top-10 classes weren't "smart and didn't want to win a title sooner rather than later"...Honestly though, if you want to win a title, wouldn't you attend a school that has at least won a bowl game in the last 14 years? Guess not.

Notre Dame's most recent gay-ish quarterback will follow in the footsteps of Quinn and Clausen...Heisman!!!

*really, really good is defined as 4 or more wins
