If we only played Catholic high schools, we might be able to go 12-0. WE SUCK!

We are ND.

u know looking at the schedule ND has a really good shot of going 9-3 or even 10-2. and they do have BC at home so 11-1 isn't impossible. and i hate USC so much so, we'll go 12-0. jk. but if ND goes 11-1 or maybe even 10-2 we will get a BCS bid

[theofficefan5]

yeah, what u said. Go Irish!

Most teams get more than that in 1 class, let alone 2. A re-evaluation of those classes, due to the drop in numbers, would net them much further down than originally predicted. Tell me how many UH classes possess 4 players, or 16 total Jr's and Sr's. Obviously this year the numbers changed somewhat, although still skewed in the number of underclassmen. Does this totally excuse the product on the field IMO, no, not so much. CW could do better with what he's been dealt. But he's working on it.

Top 15 Recruiting classes every year?

You don't have quite the grip on ND football that you think you do. Allow me to inform you on a little something.

2004 - Ranked #40, 18 players

2005 - Ranked #27, 15 players

By 2007, the 04 recruiting class had 4 remaining players. FOUR. The 05 class had 12 players remaining. For those of you who are mathematically challenged, that's a grand total of 16 players from those two classes, which were now upperclassmen. To be continued below

What do you expect from these sophmores comming off a nine loss season? Did you watch the Hawaii Bowl? Notre Dame is back. Is 7-6 with a one point loss to Syracuse and a triple overtime loss Pittsburgh not "Okay"? I think it's a pretty big improvement considering their 2007 season.
