9/2/06---This is the time....and this is the team

Yes, its that time....college football season is here.  Or, as my ex-wife used to say:
"Time for you to show that you love something more than me".  Hey, that's one of the reasons why she's an EX-wife.

My beloved Fighting Irish open the season tonight in Atlanta against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets....or Ramblin Wreck if you prefer.  Some of the "experts" are forecasting an upset.  I'll just say this.  If Ty Willingham was still our coach....they'd probably be right.  But Charlie Weis is our coach now.  I don't think so.
Notre Dame-35  Georgia Tech-20


And now....as we prepare for tonight's game...courtesy of Blue-Gray Sky blog:

I can't wait.
I can't wait for the Irish captains to walk to midfield before the game.
I can't wait for Travis Thomas to make his first tackle as a linebacker.
I can't wait for Rhema McKnight's first receiving touchdown.
I can't wait for the first Weis outburst on the sideline.
I can't wait for Victor to toss his man aside and get the sack.
I can't wait for Zibby to hit someone so hard he forgets his name.
I can't wait to see which kicker gets the call for the first field goal.
I can't wait to watch Darius find the hole in the line that no one else sees.
I can't wait to watch for the first bomb from Quinn to Samardzija.
I can't wait for Asaph Schwapp to lay out his first linebacker.
I can't wait to see all of the freshman making their first play for the Irish
The 2006 Notre Dame football season starts in a few hours.
I can't wait.

Go Irish.
