Notre Dame fans stick by Irish

Notre Dame must defeat Duke on Saturday to avoid becoming the first team since Notre Dame Stadium opened in 1930 to go winless at home. Notre Dame officials are anticipating the 199th consecutive sellout Saturday. Students and ticket holders have endured what almost assuredly will be remembered as the worst season in school history. Notre Dame was outscored 129-31 in four home games before losing back-to-back games to Navy and Air Force. While many fans leave early during blowouts, the Notre Dame student section has remained near capacity until players and students sing the alma mater in what has become a moving postgame tradition.

Yeah,right! I heard a couple of BOOs during last week's game...Well, at least they are reforming...they called for my man Ty Willingham's head for less...fickled fans..I guess they like Weis because he is chunky and loveable...like a fat ess teddy bear.

Yay! Another Irish story. And haven't they already used this pic before? Are we to infer that the Irish only have two co-eds in the whole school?

November 15, 2007  09:28 AM ET

And why does the caption say that's a pic of Charie Weis?

LOL. What a great website!

So much for being a hard news site.

Even so, the fact that this "story" came from a major outlet, the Sun Times, says little - and yet, a lot - about that paper.

I'm an Irish fan (obviously) and even I'm tired of these non-stories. Next thing, we'll be talking about Weis' trips to the bathroom and their results - which should prove more productive than the games he coaches.

Key word in the article: anticipating. After losing to Navy and Air force, we'll see if they sell out.

I think the Irish can't do anything to not be publicized. I wonder if five consecutive seasons at 7-5 would do the trick?

is this our daily dose of ND? Its getting to be like eating veggies whenyou were young..forced down your throat with empty promises...

Notre Dame will return to glory next year. A tepid GO DUKE (even though I hate the school more than Notre Shame) is in order here.

November 15, 2007  11:01 AM ET

Another comepletely retarded ND story. They should rename this website "FanNDation."

What did charlie have for lunch today?

November 15, 2007  11:22 AM ET

I think with a little effort, worldwide hatred for ND and their BS might, solve world hunger, and bring about peace...

Why should they jump ship? If fans were to stop becoming fans based off a 1 and 9 season, then they weren't real fans to begin with.

Those girls are ruining the Catholic school girl fantasy for me.

Them girls are nasty. Thank goodness, they are painted in green.

November 15, 2007  11:52 AM ET

I can't decide what to say about this.

November 15, 2007  12:15 PM ET

They need that extra girth like charlie to keep warm in those frigid indiana winters.

November 15, 2007  12:15 PM ET

Destroy Duke.

November 15, 2007  01:13 PM ET

If only idiotic UCLA hadn't screwed up, it could've had the potential to be a perfect season of pathetic failure. It would've set the standard for all future bad programs. It would've been beautiful.

-sigh- What could have been, what could have been. Ah well. We'll still be able to smell this season for decades more. Maybe next year will be worse!

I would have to be drunk to find these girls hot thank god I live in the south because these chicks scare me

November 15, 2007  02:11 PM ET

GO DUKE!!!! Because hate is such a strong word, I really hate Notre Dame.

Every game in forever has been a sell out, so how is this surprising. What else would the students do on a Saturday during football season? I'm sick of these stories. The comments are the same too.

-These stories are useless!
-Go Whoever Notre Dame is playing this weak
-Eww (toward the picture, whether the picture is of these girls or Weis)
-Notre Dame sucks
-Charlie is fat

Let's just let this season end. There's been enough pain.
