Lou's first year was my senior year

And yes, we were 5-6 that year (with five losses by a combined 14 points), but the electricity that he brought in his first year was undeniable. There was no question that great things were coming.

There are many things about ND football that I don't like these days. I DESPISE the field turf. I wasn't sold on the big screen but we have thankfully exercised discretion with its use (that is, until I saw the 'racing coaches' nonsense and nearly puked). The shrieking sideline reporter chick could not possibly be more annoying.

All that said, there are so many more things that I love about ND football. I still believe that we can compete for a natty, but our margin of error is small. We simply don't play by the same rules as most others, and thank goodness for that.

Love thee....GO IRISH
