Very impressive win, Go Irish!! I hope the rest of the world learned a lesson tonight.. Don't you ever doubt the Irish again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish ND would have joined the ACC full time in football, that would have given them more legitimacy. They need to play in a conference championship like the rest.
GO NOLES >>>------>>
I have to say that they did look impressive last night. The BCS is gonna be one huge mess this year. I think Alabama, Oregon, ND, and possibly Kansas State will go undefeated. I know Alabama will be there in the end but its going to be a controversy for the number two spot.

Why does a school named after a French Cathedral have an Irish team name/mascot? I take it that the school is heavily Roman Catholic, but do they have a ditzy geography department or somesuch?
They looked good yesterday but are going to be killed by the BCS computers no matter the rest of the season as the rest of their opponents are wusses. Even USC has two losses (so far).
Not sure how they would do against Oregon or Bama.
both wake and pitt are .500 teams right now, i would hardly consider them "wusses." additionally, nd has already beaten very difficult teams while others still have to prove themselves (bama and oregon). Actually, bama's schedule thus far has been an outright joke. They haven't even played the best teams in the sec thus far.. No georgia, no lsu, no south carolina, no florida. That my friends is a joke!!!
There is a good chance neither oregon or bama will even be there at the end. Bama has to go into baton rouge on saturday night. And oregon has 3 difficult games left (usc, stanford, oregon state).
Notre Dame was founded by a young, French Priest Father Sorin hence the French name. He originally named the school L'Universite de Notre Dame du Lac. Basically, the university of our lady of the lake because of the lakes on campus.
The Fighting Irish came from the students who went there - many Irish Catholic Immigrants.
All that being said...GO IRISH!! We will be there next weekend for the Pitt game!!
I'm class of 97 and my kids hope to be class of 2022 & 2023!

Are you serious??? I really hope you're just trying to be funny.
It's not named after a french Cathedral. Notre Dame means, "Our Lady" -- i.e. Mary the mother of Jesus.
The school is named after her given her importance in the Catholic Church.

Happy for ND, but don't get cocky with Pitt coming up.
Much as I agree that ND is a better team, Pitt has this VERY annoying habit of having a mediocre/bad year and then pulling off a big upset.
Just sayin'.......
