Once again, this can all be taken with a grain of salt like Kermit, but it's nice to hear these kinds of things from and about the Fighting Irish:
Yet there was Notre Dame, six practices into spring drills -- and only the third in pads -- banging and brawling for their ever-loving football lives. Play by play, position by position.
The offense looks crisp...There's more athleticism on defense...All of those highly-rated recruiting classes are beginning to pay off.
And the players are feeling that...
"In the three years I've been here," said Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, "I've never seen it like this."
"We saw what we could be that last time we stepped on the field," said guard Eric Olsen. "That kind of shook up everyone; made them realize we have to play with that intensity every time out."
"At every position, everyone wants it badly," Olsen said.
Looks like these Irish are starting to believe. And to FIGHT.
Keep it up fellas.

Are you serious Biscuit, or are you mocking yourself for your rose colored glasses? I think it does feel different, but I’d be the first to admit that I’m prone to optimism when it comes to the Irish.

The biggest requirement of being a fan is blind faith and supreme irrationality when discussing your team. IRISH WILL DESTROY USC AND WIN THE MNC THIS YEAR!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOO!!!

SD, it doesn’t feel different to me. I will remain skeptical yet cautiously optimistic until I am shown that this team can replicate Hawaii 10 times in a row. I was just noting that it feels different to the team. And that’s what matters.
