You want respect?....TAKE IT!...

This game is about more than #10 vs #20...

It's not about Michigan State....

It's not about a rivalry, an ESPN game of the week...etc...

It's about RESPECT...and it's about QUESTIONS!

Questions like....How bad do we want this?

Like...Who are we and where are we headed as a program?

Like...Who's gonna be coaching here in 3 years?....

 Trust me brothers....You either WIN consistently 

or you  sharpen your pencil and get that resume ready...

That's college football today!

This game is an OPPORTUNITY!...a chance to make a 

statement of what's about to come?

Will it be "dominance" or "failure"?

This team has the stage to make this statement....do they 

have the dogs to fight?...

RIVALS TEAM RECRUITING RANKINGS?

2012 ND #19 MSU #41

2011 ND #10 MSU #31

2010 ND #14 MSU #30

2009 ND #21 MSU #17

Do we have the dogs?

Have they been trained to fight?

1st prize is the Cadillac El Dorado....

2nd prize? You're fired!

I'm sick and tired of being challenged by teams we should PUNISH!

For GOD'S SAKE CLOSE!

This is football...nasty smash mouth put your foot on 

their throat and don't stop pushing till it's OVER!

No more BULLS#HT!

WIN!

PURDUE?....really?...PURDUE?...

These signs should be on EVERY telephone poll in 

South Bend this week!

What in the Hell happend at the Purdue game?

What are you gonna tell me, that Purdue is elite?...That we should 

be proud of that game?...NO!...

The ONLY good thing that came out of that game?

Good teams WIN when they have BAD days!

Good teams find a way to win!....PERIOD!

So?...are we a good team?.... 

This week is my Missouri week!...

YOU GOTTA SHOW ME!

Michigan State?... Ranked 10th in the country?

Really?... New QB...New WRs... Nasty D?... 10th?

Okay..if you say so...they have played a REALLY down 

Boise State team and Central Michigan High School...

So what have they done?....More than us?....Same as us?...

I'll tell you what we have seen that they have not!....

A NASTY D LINE!...I'll give Purdue that!...

They have 2 BIG NASTY D-Lineman that will play on Sundays!

Sparty has not seen ANYTHING like this!

There are not 2 other D lineman in the country playing 

at a higher level than:

STEPHON TUITT

&

LOUIS "Irish Chocolate" NIX

They should be ALL over Maxwell in this game....

Advantage when MSU is on Offense? NOTRE DAME!

Maxwell threw 3 picks in the first half vs Boise with very 

little pressure!

I want Diaco having this kid hearing footsteps by half time!...

I want him having flashbacks of being SMASHED into the ground

 when he snaps the ball ALL GAME!

I know they got Bell...and he's rushed for xyz amount of yards?

So what?...He's not doing that against ND!

Now....here's the wild card!

Here is what is gonna determine a WIN or LOSS for ND!

The Notre Dame Offensive Line

Black/White

We establish the run...and protect the QB...

WE WIN...and WE WIN BIG!

If not...You'll be shining shoes!...

This is not quantum physics!....
We have the players...We have the talent?...

DO THEY WANT IT?

We will see...Show me!

So with everything happening this week with 

the ACC ol' Jack Swarbrick is pulling his weight!

He's blazing the trail to an easier schedule....expanded exposure 

in the South...BIG TIME BOWL tie ins....Now?...

JUST WIN! 

Cause at some point you have to say,

"Your either Notre Dame or your Princeton!"

You can't have it both ways!...

2-0 right now ladies...so what's it gonna be!...

We got no excuses!....Injuries?...Shut up!

This is Notre Dame!

Cierre is back!... healthy...and ready to run!...

Are there gonna be holes to run through?...

WE SHALL SEE!..

Cause there is NOTHING like watching the MSU crowd

look like this...

GO IRISH and GOD BLESS!...

Prayers to Manti Teo and the entire Teo family on 

their loss...

May the angels in heaven greet your family with open arms!
