#6 Notre Dame vs. #11 Florida State - 2002

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

Rix was a bum! Go Noles!

[chriskellyangell]

They were not a double-digit underdog. That is bullshit.

[Unfortunatecubfan92]

"Oh his family is going to be so happy!" hahah.

[JokerHAHA07]

show the highlights from the most recent FSU vs ND game ... 37-0 FSU in south bend ... fear the spear

[DApostalz777]

Chris Rix was fsu downfall....damn we always had defensive and offensive top players but after 2000 QB was our weakest link. CW and Weinke was tha best eva. If we had Weinke in tha fiesta bowl and Snoop in da orange bowl fsu would have won 3 strate titles. We'll be back

[qukarlz]

ya and what if in 97 bowden would have gone for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the field goal like a pussy at the end. they would have played nebraska and probably beat them. that would have been 4 straight years.

and they got screwed in 96 obviously that could have been 5 straight

and in 95 dunn scored on the last play fsu just got screwed again that would have changed the dynamic for the uf game

[DApostalz777]

Yah that 97 season to me was the greatest team eva at FSU. When they lost to Florida I was so blown and couldn't sleep. We should of went for it. Yah we would of wip Nebreska ass and imagin if Moss was there if he didn't get caught up? Put it this way FSU haven't miss them wide right FG's man they would of have maybe 7 to 8 Championships in that decade.

[qukarlz]

sure. but they've still accomplished something during that era that no one else will be able to and people that think they were chokers are fuckin retarded

[DApostalz777]

@ qukarlz yah u're right FSU isn't no chokers and all teams have them type of moments. For 20 years FSU won more games during that dynasty than any other teams. Have u check out da 2011 class? 8 commits and these prospects are top notch. I like Fisher and what will make this coach going to be great is that he's young, been under Bowden and Sabin. The D coordinator had worked with tha U studs R.I.P Sean Taylor & Ed Reed. I can see it will shift on FSU to be tha beast again.

[smith89beast]

@DApostalz777 I know im responding a year late hahaa, but you right. If florida state was clutch, and im a huge FSU and can say we arent, we would have maybe 8 national championships instead of 2. But we have more swag than anyother team in college football

[DARickster777]

ima pac 10 fan but i think that was ty willinghams team charlie had when they played the buckkeyes in the fiesta bowl..and besides washington has been ruin since stupid ucla coach now messd them up!! so dnt rack washington!!!

[DaNoles1999]

FSU fan here but always loved DAM for the fact every SEC team hates them and I hate almost every SEC team! Dam use to kick SEC ass all over the Field that shit was lovely

[Zeus184]

Great vid, thanks, love ND

[sciowapker]

damn that was a different ND team

[green321044]

I still think Ty was better than Charlie

[DGK4LIFE8293]

he was no doubt charlie took tyrones team and started winning games then when they left so did his wins. hes overrated

[rustytrombone111111]

youre an idiot tyrone didnt even have players left to have a team after 06 thats not CW's fault, wait until after this year to say anything

[milpool001]

ty better than charlie???????

u r a fool, what proof do i have??  u of washington 0-11, including a loss to then 0-10 wash st. is charlie great i dont know, but ty is n was an AWFUL coach.

[kucarlz]

you don't know if charlie is great? how many shitty seasons does notre dame have to have for you to realize he sucks ??

[ilikaredbull]

well seeings how he had 2 seasons that ended up in the BCS, and only one losing season in his career at ND, it only takes you one comment to show that your an idiot. thats all i know

[qukarlz]

is that why they fired his fat ass? quit talkin so much about football when you don't know anything about it

[ohiostmarine29203]

I agree Ty was a good coach

[deltapunk21]

He won 1 season with Davie's players then he sucked ass major sucking ass.

[RaNdOmN3SSx23]

Carlyle Holiday and Arnaz Battle one of my favorites

[cgolik]

i agree without Tony Roberts it just doesn't seem right, he was the man!

[ripperduck]

@cgolik Man is that the truth!!! TR was the true voice of ND football, and I don't say that to demean Don Criqui who is very good. But there is only one TR....

[gmtobehere]

bring back tony roberts

[01CanesrdGOAT]

Chris Rix was the worst thing to happen to FSU. As a Cane Fan I loved him though.

[904austin]

I wish FSU and ND would start playing again.

[sciowapker]

you guys remember vontez duff, shane walton, courtney watson. damn they were all beasts.

[devinesp]

Feels good to hear the voice of Notre Dame football Tony Roberts, oops Free Shoes just got a nice NCAA probation.

[j10eff]

I hope Weis can bring the IRish to respectability of 8-4!!! noting more or less!!!

[and203]

i say BCS bowl nothing less. their schedule isn't very hard next year. more than two losses and i think weis is done.maybe 3 or 4 if he won the bowl game too

[JB5GoIrish]

8-4 is good enough for you? Really? Look at the schedule. I know most are going for 10-2, and that for sure should be the limit. We just picked up Manti Te'o today. Weis has proven he can recruit. Now it's time to win with these guys.  8-4 is NOT good enough.

[j10eff]

Weis at least needs 8-4 to keep his job. I feel bad for Manti Teo....by the time he comes back from his mormon mission they might have a new coach!

[JB5GoIrish]

I'm saying 8-4 should result in Weis being fired. Maybe even 9-3, depending on the 3 losses. 10-2 is my minimum.

But I don't feel bad for Te'o. The kid sees the bigger picture and knows he made the best decision for all facets of his life, not just football.

[devinesp]

10-2 and nothing less, as well as another bowl victory, and the defense needs to be nasty, Notre Dame since the 60s was known for having defenses that were just plain nasty, fast, and hard hitting.

[JB5GoIrish]

I won't be happy personally with anything less than 11-1/12-1. Maybe 11-2. I know that's a high bar, but this is Notre Dame. 6-6, according to Weis' own mouth, just isn't good enough. According to Weis, 9-3 isn't good enough. Time to put up or shut up.

[weshnolefan]

You guys arent going 11-1, even with that weak schedule. Your defensive front will need to be leaps and bounds better than last year for that to happen, and you'll also have to develope some sort of running game. Nothing personal, I just dont see ND only losing one game.

[JB5GoIrish]

Don't get me wrong, I don't THINK that's what's going to happen. I think we'll go 8-4 or 9-3 and I guess everyone will be happy. Well, that's not good enough for me, not after all the recruiting and the training and experience. 11-1 is what SHOULD happen. ND has a long way to go before that could happen.

[natedagr808]

they should go 11-1 easily. check out their schedule

[haroof]

Rix was horrible.

[nickjoost96]

Alot of nole fans like to defend this game by talking about the next year blowout in south bend. But this game was much more significant, FSU was a huge favorite and nobody gave ND a chance. The next year FSU was for sure the better team and ND sucked

[notredame5418u]

HAHAHAHA remember when wisconsin lost to michigan...this year...when they were ranked no. 9...HAHAHAHA loser

[cdahrendt760]

ha yeah fsu might not be great but its definatley not like ND is doing any better!! nd is garbage. wisconsin all the way!

[devinesp]

at least we beat Michigan, Wisconsin doesn't play anybody out of conference, then they lose to bad teams in the weak Big Ten

[cdahrendt760]

ok your an idiot, the reason y you guys go "out of conference" is because you are in the independent conference, which consists of notre dame, army and navy. and the Big Ten isnt weak you douche bag. you couldnt beat fucking ohio state, pen state or wisconsin. your an absolute idiot. yeah ok wisconsin has been shitty the last 3 weeks. at least it hasnt been the last 20 FUCKING YEARS!!! you need to get your facts strait.

[devinesp]

Because Bucky doesn't play anybody let's look at the non-conference slate Akron, Marshall, Cal-Poly, and Fresno State, what a joke. Does the cheeseheads and their blockhead coach figure they can beat Illinois make it four in a row. That loss to Michigan looks even worse when Michigan can't even beat Toledo. Also there is no Independent conference if you knew anything about college football before the 90s there tons of independents like Penn State, BC, Miami, Florida State. plus ND beat PSU in 06

[cdahrendt760]

yeah before the 90's. now tell me how many of those teams are still independents. NO ONE except ND

[devinesp]

guess what there was a lot of college football played before the 90s, why did those schools join a conference because in the 80s college football on tv was de-regulated, now you tell me who was the first to get their own tv deal, and has their own national network.

[cdahrendt760]

ok congratulations to them for having there own tv deal and national network, but this has nothing to do with our discussion. a lot of people dont want to watch Notre dame every damn week, most people will watch espn, espn2 because they have better games and probly 2/3 of america doesnt care about notre dame because there a hell of a lot of other games on that are better. people are obviously going to watch texas vs oklahoma other than ND vs North carolina

[devinesp]

probably about 55 or 60% wants to see what Notre Dame does whether they hate em or love em, Notre Dame is to football what the Yankees are to baseball, college football's greatest dynasty, Wisconsin probably equates to the Anaheim Angels.

[kucarlz]

dude. nobody cares about notre dame. the 80's are over

[ilikaredbull]

apparently you do since you watch their videos all day. homo.

[qukarlz]

good one

[ilovejmsass]

independent conference? you are a fucking dumbass

[cdahrendt760]

whose a dumbass?

[ilovejmsass]

i believe you are

[cdahrendt760]

oh yeah and why is that??? would you like it if i told you that notre dame is not in the independent confrence and that they are an "independent school" or what. before you just call someone a dumbass tell them why. i beleive that you are the dumbass

[ilovejmsass]

yeah there you go. they are independent, not in any conference of any type thanks for your time

[dukedevils688]

We're to good to be in a confrence. No argument /complaint /reply sufficent after this

[StoicBehavioR]

Wisconsin all the way, huh. How did wisconsin fair out against a crappy Michigan team?

[cdahrendt760]

ok buddy, your right on that one lol. i live in MN so i am a gopher fan, but also a wisconsin fan because my cousin plays for the basketball team. joe krabbenhoft. kinda cool.

[Cmontferrat]

haha @ the FSU criminoles getting all butthurt and posting comments. cute

[brad71forfsu]

Yeah and next year we shut them out right in front of touchdown jesus...

[bucklesisfake]

I hate Notre Dame, but the Arnez Battle celebration was funny.

[devinesp]

I love all you ND haters it makes the victories that much sweeter, GO IRISH!

[SFFOOL76]

I think it was a compliment, you pinhead.

[kucarlz]

what victories? i know you're not talking about victories over syracuse or navy

[BradJamesItaly]

Chris Rix was our favorite QB in Seminoles history.

Warmest regards,

the Miami Hurricanes

[ChompTrax]

always a great feeling for whipping the noles in doak! thank you irish! GO GATORS! we're gonna make it 5 in a row this coming season!!! =D

[Dragonsushi]

Scratch that, I was thinking of the 1998 season against Tennessee.

[THOMASPARTSGUY]

Ryan Grant!!!

[9998657423]

oklahoma 13

FSU  2

thats all i have to say.

[Dragonsushi]

Of course, Richt had just been hired at Georgia and didn't even try in the bowl game. It was disgusting.

[CitrusPins]

didn't try? OU's defense was nasty that year and i always knew chris weinke was overrated.

[Dragonsushi]

Richt didn't give a shit about what happened because he had just been hired as a head coach at Georgia. It was evident by his playcalling that he really wasn't concerned about winning the game.

[Dragonsushi]

Oh, and Weinke was injured and didn't get to play.

[odiedude]

This began the demise of Florida State football.

[hoopersgone]

Yes it did, plus Richt leaving to Georgia.

[fsugolfer1]

Im a noles fan, and I realize that it was horrible that we had to bench 30 players because of the classroom, but you have to admit that your 07 season was definitely not your best. I wish we could play you guys again this year with your great recruiting class coming in

[RocketShark]

Not only was 2007 not our best -- it was our absolute worst. It's a good series between ND and FSU, with decisions going both ways. I can post highlites from this game, you guys can post highlites from the following year. I'm sure we'll meet again.

[dome1972]

To be a student athelete at Notre Dame carries a higher standard that at most school.

[kucarlz]

uh ya like the higher standard of not winning big games

[keny352]

ur damn right go notre dame fsu sucks balls

[ryan8532]

My favorite is how everyone is bitching about Notre Dame having a horrible 2007 season. At least the Irish never had to bench over 30 players because they cheat in class. Way to take care of business in the classroom, Seminoles!

Idiots.

[Kurz1018]

These year for the 5th strait semester the WHOLE ND football team had a GPA over 3.0

[cshep26]

put a nole in your hole

[BillandJill22]

tyrone has a small penis!!!

[alexdunklebron]

he got bigger ballz than you..

[unclefestus]

DAMN Rix you suck ass!

[KevinVids]

What happened the next season in South Bend?

FSU 37

ND 0

Shutout at home lol.

[Karensvideos]

wow dude you are retarded fsu is having a way better season notre dame this season.fsu has won 7 games and Notre Dame has won 2 games.

[Tyrone135]

haha FSU blows!!!!! go irish!!! FSU has been mediocre for four years now... ND just has a young team... just wait!

[cgolik]

2 BCS bowls in the last two years dipshit...FSU still have a program down there?

[FLfootball1]

okay, i know it's fsu but the last person that can talk is a nd fan. When was the last time you won a national championship? A bowl game? Didn't FSU shut you out at south bend the next year?

[devinesp]

when FSU has 11 NC and 7 Heismans call me!

[sucker4u82]

...this coming from a guy whose team has a 1-7 record. Do the Irish still know how to win a game up there?

[cgolik]

Obviously if they are 1-7...is that you just showing your true colors there... :)

[Clairemont619]

when was the last time Notre dame was ranked in football?? cant remember... hmm

[RocketShark]

You'd have to go all the way back to 2006.

Can't you remember anything from last year?

As you say, "hmm."

[mead44]

porbably the year they beat FSU, lol! FUCK ND!!! I was working at Doak that game in tallahassee and the ND fans suck!!!

[hoopersgone]

what a loser. The IRISH wipped your asses!! Ha

[oblsh]

you suck

[Irishfan21]

end of 2006, not that long ago

[seagen13]

Classic Rix

but....

he's better than weatherford

[DDDD04]

I remeber this game. At one of those FSU turnovers I picked my two daughters (both under 3) up and jumped into the air. ND got into a funk after this game. FSU tough but Rix always seemed to screw up at the wrong time.

[EricOC4311]

That's the Chris Rix I remember

[Radnole24]

as an FSU fan can we erase all the Jeff Bowden years

[enobmoz]

Why would this be at all surprising. FSU had chris rix playing. CHRIS RIX. ND should be embarrassed the score was as close as it was. No, seriously. CHRIS friggin RIX.

[uselessidguy331]

Deja Vu? Boston College beats Notre Dame the following week...AGAIN?

[oblsh]

boston college is gay

[uselessidguy331]

Not a Boston College fan, dude---just pointing out the obvious. BC has Notre Dame's number, especially when Notre Dame is doing well. I'm a Nittany Lion, though.

[jerrynereppil]

I remember this game, I recorded it

[SFFOOL76]

It's so classic, how 2 bad seasons the seminoles (in 2002 and 2005) had and they still got into the BCS (vs. UGA in 03' sugar bowl & vs. penn st. in 06' orange bowl)

[thndrct218]

The first season was a testament to how much of a joke the ACC was (until they expanded to include Miami and VT) and I'm still trying to figure out how the hell they got into the '06 orange bowl

[FMLongo]

That's alright, the 'Noles returned the favor and whooped that ass up in South Bend. 37-0!!! Actually, this win in Tallahassee started a downfall for the Irish under Willingham.

[NOTREDAMERULES]

Unfortunately, you're right. We all thought Willingham was going to be our next big coach, but after the '03 Flordia State game it was clear his days were numbered.
