SUs 2008 win over Notre Dame considered 48th worst loss in Irish history

Gluttons for punishment. I've wiped my memory of those years.

Ridiculous. Losing to GRob has to be much worse than 48th.

I would imagine this game ranks in the top 10

The Phantom Clipping Call Game? Yeah, that was a tough one.

The losses to Syracuse and UConn were not that bad since they helped Charlie Weis get fired and Brian Kelly get hired.

Since then, ND is 37-15, which ranks #10 in the nation in that 4 year time frame, including a perfect 12-0 regular season and a national championship game appearance.

None of that would have occurred with Charlie Weis still at the helm.

Clipping or did you mean the roughing the kicker call in '61

Football Game Scene – ND vs. Syracuse, 1961/1118. Syracuse player Walt Sweeny (#89) was charged with roughing ND kicker Joe Perkowski (#38) and place holder George Sefcik (#22) as time expired in the game. Perkowski missed the 56-yard field goal, but was awarded a second chance because of the penalty.

I guess it all depends on whose ox is being gored, doesn't it?

Was that call for the national championship like Rocket's was?

 

[Millhouse]

Yeah, I recall feeling that Cam was a pretty decent QB.

I recall him coming in against Pitt - at Pitt - and almost winning the game with his arm - last drive ending inside the Pitt 20?.

I was genuinely surprised that Marrone pretty much dumped him in 2009.

i thought he was terrible but i thought he was a lot better than robinson, patterson, fields, whoever. i was so conditioned to the worst ever that merely terrible felt ok

 

[Millhouse]

Could be, but his last game that season was his 2nd most productive one. He had a terrible arm to begin with, but in 2007 he had WRs who helped mask it. It was like 1994 Frank Costa at Miami, without the spirals.

I'll still never lose that vision of Taj Smith on the opening play at Louisville doing gymnastics routines to let people know how open he was. The ball barely got to him, and there was still never a defender within 10 yards of him. That's when Kragthorpe should have looked at his DB coach and said don't even use the locker room on your way out of the stadium.

there was some knoblaugh ankiel action going on there. i don't know what caused it

 

[CusefanATL]

how in the world does ND have 47 worse losses than that?!

holy nightmares.

i think i did a beer & a shot and walked halfway to the bathroom while the pig(duck?)skin was in the air on that one.

started at the front of the bar and walked with the flight of the ball...down towards the back bathroom...following on tv, to tv, to tv...
