Did you really expect anything different?
As the final minute of the Sugar Bowl ticked towards 0:00, Fox cameras fixated on Brady Quinn standing on the sidelines.
Eye black streaked across his cheeks and face defeated, he presumably thought only one thing:
Insert long string of expletives here.
Going into New Orleans to take on LSU wasn’t the most conducive environment for a victory. But this Notre Dame squad, comprised of a few sure to be NFL draftees, though talented and well-known, just simply never rose to the challenge of a ‘big’ game to win very often, if at all.
The LSU victory and its leader JaMarcus Russell, were reminiscent of Texas and Vince Young last year. It was the talented, somewhat under-the-radar QB stealing the show from the pretty boy and his golden team.
Brady Quinn is a good quarterback. But, a great quarterback? Probably not. First pick of the NFL draft good? Ask Mel Kiper about that one, I don’t know.
The loss marks nine straight bowl loses for Notre Dame. Rudy and Lou Holtz are not pleased, people. How do I know that? Because I saw them crying together and hugging in the stands after the game. True story.

Can we now, finally, dispose of the myth of Notre Dame as a top-tier football program? Can we also get Domers to stop felating Charlie Weis now that his record is no better than Ty Willingham’s? Nope. They will continue to drink the Kool Aid.
really glad to see ND get their asses handed to them.
already in a game they shouldn’t have been in, ND was blown out against the three good teams they played (Mich, USC, LSU) and don’t have one quality win.
F notre dame for always getting the hype and never delivering.
New Orleans (Bourbon St. area) may be the best city in the world…Here’s to us being overhyped every year and sending me to an awesome destination
Someone get that school a God damn national television contract extension.
