Emeka Nwankwo hasn’t earned the right to mock ND Fans. His performance is mediocre and as has been demonstrated for the past several years. Our edge defense and pass rush are terrible.

He’s all talk and no results. He should wait to gloat until the Irish are 10 and 0 and ranked as the best defense in College Football. Otherwise, his comments are just BS.

KA, DaNation is crazy. That’s why I look to TheIrishHammer for all my ND news.

Fun story from the game. If you were there, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Late in the 4th quarter Utah’s quarterback went out for a couple of plays. On the second play that the backup was in, he went back to pass and got pressured, so he took off running to his left. There was only one ND player on that side, Manti Te’o. As soon as the crowd realized it was Te’o, you could feel the excitement of what was about to happen. Just about everybody in my section started saying, “oooooohhhhh.!” I said to my buddy, “oh boy, look out!” And then Te’o ran him down and put his a$$ in the grass! Of course we all went crazy.

It’s just the kind of player Te’o is. He really brings energy, enthusiasm, and excitement. I’ve also heard from many who’ve met him that he is just an outstanding human being as well, which is more important. It’s going to be so much fun watching him and the rest of these great young players get better and better.

THE GOOD – College football is alive and well in 2010.

THE BAD – College football is BIG business in 2010

THE UGLY – College football as big business has ruined the spirit of the game.

The ugly? The first quarter offense (or complete lack, thereof). It was kind of nice being up 7-3 in spite of the fact that we had not posted a first down, but that was a bit ugly. Things got rolling after that, but the first quarter’s offense was bad AND ugly.

I don’t know if that’s ugly or just an indicator of the struggles of the past decade and a half for a team with an extremely vocal fanbase. (I know, you had to come up with something for the “ugly” bit and that probably wasn’t easy this week [sweet]).

It does serve as a reminder that our players are young people who definitely read online blogs – maybe it’s time for the conversation to start about how to support a college team as a fan on the internet. As in, think it over before you vent your vitriol on your keyboard.

Anyway, Emeka Nwanko just moved up a few notches in my book. Thanks for the piece KA. On to Army!!
