Re: The state of Notre Dame football.

Not sure what's left to write at this point.

Weis has clearly lost this team. They're undisciplined, can't block, can't tackle, and act like they don't want to be out on the football field. It...

Re: The state of Notre Dame football.

A couple questions for you b,

1) How would you rate Ty's performance at ND?
