Just waiting on our moment!.... The odds are on our side!...

Appreciation

It's something we all feel good when we receive, but all too often is seldom and far in between the criticism and negativity of the every day world!

With this being Thanksgiving Week...I thought I'd hand out a few thanks!

Michael Floyd

You brought your talents to THE University of Notre Dame and at a time when the light of the program was flickering but not burning hot...and for that I thank you!

It's been a pleasure watching you and seeing what you've become...

It's one of those situations where I can look at it and say.

Did we need Michael Floyd?

Or did Michael Floyd need what Notre Dame would make him,

and I'm not talking about a better wide receiver...but a man...

Coach Brian Kelly

I'm not gonna list all the good things he's done...

For the simple fact of...if you can't see them then your too 

stupid to read the list I'd create!

Urban Meyer

My thanks is first and foremost for not coming to the

 University of Notre Dame...

Not because you're not a good coach...but for realizing that your health will not allow you 

to be the coach you used to be,

and not taking us down that road.

I can't think of a better program, if there is any truth 

to all these rumors, to take a job at...

My only hope is that the unrealistic expectations of a decent program

 thinking they are big 

boys doesn't take the final shred of health you have

 left and leave your family without you!

Now...on to the topic at hand!

The "almost" certain 

HEISMAN Trophy Winner 

ANDREW LUCK and the 

The number 4 Stanford Cardinal!

This is one of "those" games...an opportunity to make a statement...

To silence critics...and to show the direction of the program!

So what's it gonna be?

We play this game right after the MSU game...no problem...

Now with our injuries....Flip a coin!

We are due!...I watch a lot of college football....and at the end 

of the day the one thing that amazes me is the "moment" games...

There is a saying...It's better to be lucky than good!

Well it's been AWHILE since the "luck" of the Irish has

graced the Irish with it's presence!

The "luck" plays that determine the victor!... 

This season there has been a ton!

Missed field goals!...
Turnovers at crucial moments....

The DENARD nerf football bomb that cost us a game!...

Braxton Miller's prayer pass vs Wisconsin!

The 5 turnovers that allowed Wake Forrest to beat FSU!

Oklahoma not realizing that Texas Tech was gonna come 

to play that night...

The PURE LUCK MOMENTS!...

They happen EVERY SEASON...

But I just can't remember when they've happend to us!

For us, every victory is earned....Every loss deserved!

WE ARE DUE FOR ONE OF THESE!...

Will it be this week?...or the bowl?

Stay tuned!...but we are due fellas!

Notre Dame get's your best shot!....there is no such thing as 

playing the University of Notre Dame and not 

being PUMPED up for the game!...

Playing Notre Dame is what Grandfathers tell grandchildren about...

It's what old men talk about at McDonalds at 6am over and over again

to all their retired friends....We are the MEMORY!

So...Do I think Stanford will not be "emotionally" ready!...

Are you F-ing crazy?

This is hide your children....put the dog out....

THROW EVERYTHING AT THEM kinda game!

When I first started doing financial work years ago a mentor told me that the 

stock market was like throwing spagetti against the wall...

You just have to hope some sticks!...

This is the best way I can explain our game plan for Saturday vs the number 

4 team in the country!...

Look, the blueprint on how to stop our Offense is out!...

If you can apply pressure with 3...and drop 8...

We are not gonna score a hole lotta points...and most 

likely Rees is gonna mistake one of your defenders for one of 

our receivers and throw a PICK!...

So what are we gonna do?

Are we gonna....

Or talk about what "coulda" been?...

I know the odds are not with us....Vegas thinks they should spot us a TD!...

But at some point....at some time...

We deserve our moment!

We've put in the time to earn...our LUCK!..

And we are willing to meet Karma half way by throwing EVERYTHING

at the Stanford Cardinal!...

So what's it gonna be?

Let's make'em believers!

GOD BLESS AND GO IRISH!
