07:05 AM ET 08.31 | When Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick chooses the adjective "important" to describe his football program's 2009 season, and when he's asked to elaborate on that choice, it kind of begets another question. Specifically: How isn't it an important season for the Irish? "Football at Notre Dame has to succeed," Swarbrick said. "All of us engaged feel an equal obligation to get us back there, to where people view us as one of the better teams in the country." When Swarbrick recently sat down to chat with the Tribune, the focus was on Irish football and coach Charlie Weis. And the bar for this year and the future was clear: Be in the conversation to play in January, or face the consequences of disappointment.
