The Irish would have went 12 and 0 in 2009 if Ian Book was the QB instead of Jimmy Clausen.
Think about it ? The 2009 Irish had Golden Tate, Kyle Rudolf, Michael Floyd, Amando Allen, Trevor Robinson, Chris Watt, Duval Kumara, Kapron Lewis Moore, Sergio Brown, Manti Teo, Jonas Grey, Robert Hughes, Jamoris Slaughter, Theo Riddick, David Bruton among many other great players !!

Jimmy Clausen was good but not elite (I don't care what the man up North thinks).
He had cement shoes ! He could have easily run it in for a TD from the one yard line against Navy but slowed down out of fear as a Navy linebacker lowered the BOOM on Jimmy causing him to fumble which was the main reason we lost to NAVY !

Ian Book would have saved Charlies job !

*** Ian Book willed us a few wins like Pitt, Vtech, USC, LSU AND OTHERS.

You are monkey brained idiots if you think it was all Books fault for losing to Clemson and Michigan ! And Book was involved in only one other loss--to Georgia ! He almost brought the team back ---if he had any blocking he would have !!

*** I hope Book does not transfer to get away from ignorant Irish fans like the Florida football coach !

We will win it all if he comes back in 20 !!

Go Irish !!
Nuke the cyclones !
 
As always, love the crazy levels of positivity and support from you Bodi...

but that’s a negative Ghostrider. The pattern is full
 
that offensive line was horrible. Sorry Bodi i usually like you optimism but this post is just stupid.
 
2009 marked one of the best QB performances in ND history. You picked an odd year Bodi.
 
One of the most accurate passers I’ve ever seen. I like book but this is a stretch iyam.

I was just trying to bring attention to the Book situation. He has done so much for the Irish yet he is treated like crap by many monkeybrained Irish fans. Like he can't win the Big game---Well Jimmy C. and Brady Quinn and Kizer couldn't win the big game either. Maybe it is not all Books fault for losing three games in his entire career !
 
Love the thought but as a massive Jimmy C fan, you are wrong here. If not for Jimmy, we would of lost a few more games.

the offense let us down over and over in 09. Final years for a coach are quite entertaining because the team is proficient at one thing the HC cares greatly about; and inept in other areas.
