If Duke is a really, really bad team, what does that make ND? Not necessary to answer, it was a rhetorical question. Texas beat ND on opening day and Charley Strong is getting fired? Kelly sure re-signed his contract at the right time.
"Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name.
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What tho' the odds be great or small,
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory!"
God, how I love that song. I sing it to my ND buddies every chance I get.
It's a long season. Texas "upset" nd, and everyone touted Strong as a hero and exclaimed that Texas was back. Now he's getting fired. On the other hand, Penn State lost a close game to pitt and then lost badly to michigan, and some had Franklin on the hot seat. Now Penn State is ranked #8 and Franklin has a shot at coach of the year.
We should avoid a rush to judgment. I'm pretty sure I've heard that before somewhere.
