    drew why cast pearls before mediocre swine like Mike “Low expectations” Brey? HIs apologists who were skewering Willingham from day one, provide myriad excuses for Brey every day.

    I remember attending one of Phelps practices before he went Hollywood and magic marker. He asked a question and Dwight Clay gave some sort of excuse. Phelps was ready “That’s the problem Dwight, we’re leading the nation in excuses.

    The only thing keeping Brey from being Notre Dame’s biggest embarrassment ever is that fatty mass of arrogant tissue currently mired in Lawrence.

    Agree with you on Brey. Brey has plateaud for sure. It seems ND is happy just getting to the Tourney most years and that’s all. With the talent we have, we should not be exiting first round every year.

    Enough about the field. Time to go out and produce.

    I can’t believe they went to turf. ND doesn’t respect tradition anymore. Such a sad day to see them give in and rip out the natural grass. Blah Blah Blah.

    Haha, JK….. I think this is the first post that I’ve seen where someone hasn’t made those comments so figured I’d post it. I think the turf looks fabulous. Love the design and love the ND at midfield. Can’t believe football season is just around the corner!

    I agree it was the right move. Knute Rockne would have jump on this product as soon as it was out if he felt it gave him an advantage. By the Shazamrock great way to work a Christmas story quote with an ND theme.

    Thanks!

    Now all together….

    Yes, it is a Sacred Place…

    And the new field turf in the stadium really helps to enhance that image even further!

    It looks fantastic doesn’t it?

    Something to be proud of again.

    I think we should give Jack Swarbrick a standing ovation for a job well done!

    What do you say bj?

    New turf, new uniforms, new season, new players, new coaches…

    a lot to get pumped up about!

    “AND WE’RE GONNA GET EM ON THE RUN, AND WE’RE GONNA KEEP EM ON THE RUN! AND WE’RE GONNA GO-GO-GO! AND WE’RE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL WE CROSS THAT GOAL LINE… WHAT DO SAY BJ!

    I second that notion. He may look like a NerD, But Swarbrick did an absolutely outstanding job negotiating the very complex, overlapping situationS so NotADame can maintain our athletic SUPREMACY. Major kudos, Jack!

    It’s a sacred place from the grotto to the rock to the football field
    Semper fi

    With as much dignity as he could muster, bj will gather up the last, sad, 3×5 remains of his sacred ripped up grass playing field.

    Later tonight, alone in his backyard, he’ll buried it next to the garage.

    If you listen very carefully, you’ll likely to hear the sound of “Taps” being played. Gently.

    (sniff, sniff) Beautiful post.

    Way to take a great movie quote and work it into something about ND and bj.
