Hey...
Hey guys....
Listen...
We still have a chance for the playoffs.
And that is amazing.
Show of hands, how many of us had the Irish getting this far in the season. Especially after the suspensions.
Okay, half of you take your hands down cause you're damn liars. The other half of you...well, you're Irish fans. We are rather something of a mangy breed.
I just want everyone on this site, and all of the Irish fandom, to step back for a moment to thank this team for taking us this far. For doing so well, and echoing the hallows that we love all across the nation.
Thank you Coach Kelly for dealing with the entire mess that is being the head coach of the Irish. Thank you Coach Denbrock for stepping up to such a difficult position. Thank you Coach VanGorder for being a wonderful, crazy son of a bitch who regularly defies convention and thinks, quite rightly, that the prevent defense should be thrown in the trash.
Thank you Everett, for learning that you were a moron, and striving to improve in ways that we thought you could not. Thank you Cam, for being a workhorse who never gives up. Thank you Chris, Amir, Ben, Torii and Will, for being a great receiving corps. Thanks must also go to the offensive line, for trying their best to deal with the loss of their best player, and not collapsing like so many others in the face of adversity.
And what can we say about the defense. That beautiful wonderful defense. Sheldon, Jaylon, Joe, Cole, Cody, Matthias and the rest of you wild hornets. Thanks for smacking everybody in the face.
So once again, thank you Notre Dame, for making the fall fun.
Go Irish!
