The higher the peak...the better chance of slipping!

Every great journey in life comes with obstacles.

Those obstacles can come in the form of:

Injuries,

Suspensions,

Doubt,

HATE,

Defections!

(Lynch...LOL!...omg!)

This has been our journey for the past 11 games.

We've ignored the chaos and embraced the journey at hand.

But now it has entered one of the MOST dangerous 

areas of any great journey....the PEAK!

We are 4 quarters away from what most of us have 

waited for almost two and a half decades for!

The journey my friends, is within grasp and now 

we have to ask ourselves...

Can we complete it?

What stands in our way?

THIS COLOSSAL DOUCHEBAG!

And his Southern "Cali" Trojans!

You know at the beginning of the season, every analyst basically 

chalked this game and Oklahoma up as losses for the Irish!

But...thanks to Jack Swarbrick...there's a new Sheriff in town 

and he's bringing the pride back to the IRISH NATION!

The Trojans are...and I DO NOT want to come off 

over confident in this...but these are NOT EVEN CLOSE to 

being the "Get my mama a condo!" Trojans of the 

Poodle Carroll era!

They are 7-4 and when you look at them...and really dissect 

this season you can see why!

Offense

(now these are with that poor bastard 

Matt Barkley who Kiffen cost MILLIONS 

for coming back and not going pro!) 

is 27th in the country!

DEFENSE

Not sure you can get numbers on them,

THEY'VE NOT BEEN SEEN FOR WEEKS!

Rush-49th

Pass-67th

Scoring-48th

Tackling-LAST

Not bad!...but!!! Who have they beat?

Hawaii

Who is 1-9 

Syracuse 

Who are 6-5 

Oh, and the Orange hung 30 on them!

Cal

Who is HORRIBLE and just fired their coach 

after a 3-9 campaign!

Utah 

Who is 4-7

But they hung 28 pts on USC!

Colorado 

Who is...ready?...1-10

Arizona State

Who is 5-5 

and...the BIG SIGNATURE WIN?...

Washington!

In a hard fought 24-14 victory!

Their wins are against teams with a combined record 

of 27-45!

Seven games that kinda make you...feel like...Well..

Unimpressed!

BIG TIME!

Now most people at this point would say,

"Every good team they've played they lost to!" 

And..that's not exactly true!...They figured out how to lose to 

bad teams also!

Losses:

Stanford

Yeah...the Stanford we beat...that was "overrated" 

until they beat Oregon!

Oregon

Yeah..the "quack attack" that I told you how 

to beat last week...and that's exactly how they got beat!

UCLA

Now... before you start tugging on UCLA's private

parts...remember..they lost to 3-9 Cal!

Now...on to the embarrassment!

ARIZONA?

The fighting Rich Rods!

Yeah...they lost to them!

So what do we have in store for the Condoms?

PAIN!

Good ol' fashion, beat you down till you can't respond 

PAIN!

This is not another day at the office for Notre Dame..this 

is VINDICATION!

This is JUSTIFICATION!

This is showing EVERYONE that we do belong, and 

we will prevail, and NOTHING will stop us 

until we have proven our journey to be one that,

WE determine the outcome of!

ESPN-COLIN-MAY-HERBSTRIET

You can talk...and talk...and talk...but we 

are a team of DESTINY!

I was at that Pitt game..when Cierre fumbled into the endzone,

I sat there and put my hands in my face...and thought...

"Here we go again!...This is where it all comes apart!"

And then....Then the ROAR of the crowd...as if 

Touchdown Jesus himself had pushed that kick right!

At that point...I knew...something was happening here!

I don't wanna talk BAMA...I don't wanna 

think Heisman!

All I care about is BEATING, and

BEATING BADLY ,the Trojans!

GOD BLESS and GO IRISH!

Have a GREAT THANKSGIVING!
