  1. That was a wonderful moment...thanks for the memory and giving me somthing to smile about today!!

     

    Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame

    Wake up the echoes cheering her name,

    Send the 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.

    very nice. B)

  2. I agree.  I even mentioned that to Nervous Guy before.  Every program will have some down time.  Right now, Penn State is trying to get back to being a national title contender.  It's not going to be easy though.

    I agree with both of you. Its been a pretty nice season so far this year for us. But the Irish aren't feared anymore, thats the difference. We will be back one day, and it may be one day soon. I just hope PSU is right there with us.

  3. I think that this type of losing (ie. constant) is easier to take then the heartbreaks of the 90s. I think when a team loses EVERY WEEK, doesn't show up EVERY WEEK it is kind of like being clubbed in the head. The pain eventually numbs you and you close yourself off.

     

    On the other hand losing is SO SO SO much harder to take when it sneaks up behind you and bites you in the @ss. When it lies dormant for a whole season and then returns a fluke trick play for a Kickoff TD. Or when it pops up to push a field goal just 3 feet to the right. THOSE are the losses that break your heart. These ones don't cut as deep IMO.

  4. Actually, didn't the announcers say that DB was ripping into the offense?  I didn't hear that MM did it... (of course, it wouldn't be the first time an announcer screwed up :doh: )

    I read that it was MM not DB. Henry said it got them fired up.

     

    I disagree with the notion that we have little talent. I think we are a team of underachievers. When this is the case, emotion is sometimes the only thing that can get them the spark to play at their level.

  5. It has been totally pathetic and ineffective yet we are on pace to have:

     

    -3,000 yd, 20 TD QB

    -1,000 yd. RB

    -100+ catch, 1000+ yds, 10+ TD WR

    -A rookie WR with close to 1000 yds. and well over 20 yds. per catch.

     

    On paper that is nothing to scoff at. It just goes to show that stats mean nothing. Its just amazing how they seem to find a way to lose it.

     

    I dunno. I think we can turn it around but it would be a lot easier to take I think if it was just a team full of talent-less stiffs. These guys are players.

     

     

    Bring on Sage Rosenfels. IF the D can't stop him, they shoud all be benched.

     

    peace

  6. Check out the 2000 draft. But get a bucket first, your gonna puke.

     

    1 26 Erik Flowers DE Arizona St.

    2 58 Travares Tillman S Georgia Tech

    3 89 Corey Moore OLB Virginia Tech

    4 121 Avion Black WR Tennessee St.

    5 156 Sammy Morris HB Texas Tech

    6 194 Leif Larsen DT Texas-El Paso

    7 233 Drew Haddad WR Buffalo

    7 251 DaShon Polk OLB Arizona

  7. I'm still trying to get to go to that game in South Bend.  I've been waiting for that game for 12 years, even since Mirer hit Brooks for the 2 pt conversion that did us in.

    The Snow Bowl. Its such a disgrace where the two programs are now. Granted we have each had our moments (both should have won titles since then) and some nice runs, but nowhere near the consistent high-caliber level of play that marked the two schools. I will definitely be back to South Bend for that game. Getting tickets shouldnt be a problem, especially if we arent doing well. Too many rich, lazy alumni who dont want to "waste their afternoon" watchin ND. Pathetic.

  8. Never in American history have the rights of our citizens been so eroded. GW told us all to be afraid of terror. A true leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt once told a scared American public "there is nothing to fear but fear itself."

     

    A strong leader instills confidence in his followers in order to lead, a weak one instills fear.

    Kerry....lesser of two evils. This for me is like voting for Kevin Gilbride or Dan Henning to be Bills OC.

  9. you apparently don't know much about those guys, or the situation.

     

    donahoe and modrak are best friends, and modrak has said on many occasions that he's satisfied in his role, likes what he does, and wants to stay here until he feels he has satisfied a winning commitment.

     

    go back to focusing on bledsoe, because a lack of heart cannot be seen by a fuggin GM. It's not Donahoe's fault that about a dozen of our main players continue to make mental errors that they were never previously known for.

    Well the GM IS responsible for the personnel he puts on the field. You think TD is just the unluckiest Generel Manager in the league? I feel that Modrak would do a better job (his record in Philly speaks for itself). Maybe it is true that TM would not accept a promotion due to his friendship.

  10. The amount of penalties we were committing in the preseason was the biggest area of concern for me. And it has turned out to be an achilles heal. This team is not so good that they can afford to be sloppy when they have their chances. If we played the exact same offense the last 3 games, but cut out most of the bonehead plays and penalties, we just might be 3-0.

  11. Tom Donahoe manages the salary cap about as well as anyone in the league. But he has made some very questionable draft picks and FA signings. He also doesn't seem to have all his priorities straight (e.g. the whole "we'll just find a kicker, um, whenever" strategy).

     

    Modrak did an AMAZING job building what was maybe the most talentless team in the NFL 5-6 years ago. He lost the power struggle with Reid (ala TD and Cowher) but he knows how to draft talent, and he knows how to work contracts (the Eagles for many years lead the league, and maybe still do, in smallest amount of dead cap money). I think that perhaps these two men should flip-flop jobs. We will see how this season pans out but I think it will end up with a move like this being needed to be made.

     

    My two cents....

  12. I would trade watching a game at the Ralph these days for a piece of dog stevestojan........

    See this what I'm sayin. If you have tickets (this goes for anyone out there), I'd be glad to take them off your hands if you just can't bear the experience of being at a pro football game.

     

    ridiculous.

  13. Hey Bart,

     

    I'm sure you've never complained. Oh yeah, Go Irish. Oh wait, they were lit up on Saturday.

    54119[/snapback]

     

     

    I'll keep complaining, but I'll keep watching, screaming, cheering and rooting. I was at the game yesterday too....I wouldn't trade watching a game in that stadium for anything, win OR lose.

  14. I apologize Bart. There were some parts of the game that were just hard to stomach that's all.

    54112[/snapback]

     

    No problem bro, Im just pissed off too really. I thought we could win this game. It just seems like every week there are posts like "thats it im done" or "why should I stay a fan?"

     

    Go Bills

     

    peace

  15. Well lumping one guy in with everyone isn't exactly a good thing.

     

    Only one guy said he was jumping ship.........not plural.

     

    We're all just pissed and bitching.

    54101[/snapback]

     

     

    BF....I know this, and actually I am just venting too. :wub: It just makes me sad because I don't think of Buffalo as a fair-weather fan team. I like to think of our fans as some of the best in sports. I think it sucks when people even talk about jumping.

     

    peace

  16. Kiss my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But as stevestojantty as this has been I'm still GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can be as disgusted as we want.

    54087[/snapback]

     

     

    If you had actually read what I posted, you wouldnt have said that. If you are still "GO BILLS!!!!!!!", then you are the kind of fan that we need.

  17. And what would you like us to say? 

     

    We lose.

    "Great job, team.  We'll get 'em next time!"

     

    We lose.

    "Great job, team.  We'll get 'em next time!"

     

    We lose.

    "Great job, team.  We'll get 'em next time!"

     

    I want to live in your world.  Do you think the players aren't b*tching and complaining right now?  It's a natural reaction to a team that is playing horribly.

     

    You can take a hike.

    54076[/snapback]

     

     

    No, a NATURAL reaction of a true fan is to criticize, get mad, throw things, etc. It is not a NATURAL reaction of a true fan to jump ship or whine about how someone needs to convince them to remain a fan. You should need no convincing if the Bills are really you're team. You may not like them when they are down but you dont go looking for a new flavor of the week team to appease you while the Bills arent winning.

  18. Your saying this because you know better. I am now, and always have been a Bills fan. But its been so damn painfull for so long that I seriously have had to start rooting elsewhere as well. I see nothing wrong for rooting for a NFC team as well as the Bills. Sorry, Im a football junky who needs to root for a franchise headed somewhere.

     

    Again, Ill always be a Bills fan, but I also have another team to watch. Get over it.

    54050[/snapback]

     

     

    No you are fair weather fan who NEEDS to root for a team who is winning. You have no heart and no loyalty.

     

    Let me guess, you will be a more active Bills fan when they start winning. Oh wow, Lucky for them to have such troopers like you.
