I can remember it like it was yesterday. I am now 40. At the time, i was 8 years old on January 1, 1989 when Notre Dame defeatee West Virginia to win their most recent national title. I recall a house full of blue and yellow and then myself in blue and GOLD. I grew up and still live near the city of Charleston, major WVU territory. Notre Dame has for the most part been disappointing since then, always having let downs when it really mattered. It has been a long time coming that I can toss on my ND gear amd puff out the chest a little. Well i can now! Im not sure if Notre Dame has the jims and joes to beat Clemson for a second time, Ohio State, then Alabama or some combination of such. I am sure that Notre Dame is good again, and plays a big boy style football with a physicality ill put up against anyone. We have a chance this year and my money says nobody will just roll the Irish. Not even the mighty bama. Goooo Irish!
