The Stars of 2008 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Tickets
QB Jimmy Clausen: The hotshot quarterback was forced into a starting role early in his freshman season. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for neither Clausen nor Fighting Irish ticket holders.
Under immense pressure, Clausen managed to complete better than 50 percent of his attempts as freshman. He threw for more than 1,250 yards and seven touchdowns with six interceptions.
RB James Aldridge: The most talented of a large group of capable Irish runners. Aldridge is the leading returning rusher after running for 463 yards last season.
The Top 2008 Notre Dame Football Ticket: Notre Dame at USC, Nov. 29
Almost nothing would announce Notre Dame’s return to prominence than pulling off an upset of the Trojans in Los Angeles. The Irish’s annual showdown with the Trojans is always a hot college football ticket. This year won’t be any different.
2007 Notre Dame Football Tickets: A Season to Forget
No matter what former Irish coach-turned ESPN analyst tells you last season wasn’t a fun year to have Notre Dame tickets. The Irish bumbled and stumbled their way to a 3-8 season, one of the worst years ever in South Bend.
After opening the season with five straight losses, some pundits were whispering about how a winless season could be in store for the Irish. But Weis would have none of that.
Notre Dame won their last two games of the season and pulled off a midseason upset at UCLA. They actually began to look like an improving team down the stretch.
That could bode well for the fans with 2008 Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets.
Calling all Irish fans with Notre Dame football tickets. Let us take a moment to honor our beloved Golden Domers with an abbreviated rendition of the Notre Dame Fight Song.
"Cheer, Cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory."
Head coach Charlie Weis has definitely woken the echoes, but does anyone know what a volley cheer is? Indeed, times are good in South Bend. Notre Dame football tickets haven't been this hot since Lou Holtz was running the show. Now, Weis is in charge. It didn't take the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator and three-time Super Bowl champion long to restore the ride at Notre Dame. In only his second year on the sidelines, Weis is looking to join Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson as the only coaches to win an NFL title and an NCAA championship. Weis believes quarterback Brady Quinn is Notre Dame's ticket to making that happen.
A Heisman candidate, Quinn flourished in his first season in Weis' pro-style offense and is the No. 1 reasons the Irish will have major say on which teams arrive at Cardinals Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 8 for the BCS National Championship Game. Before the Irish can start dreaming of spending the holidays in the desert, Quinn and company must contend with Notre Dame's typical brutal schedule. If the Irish can survive early season tests from Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Michigan, UCLA, Purdue and Stanford, they'll head to Pasadena on Nov. 25 for a date with the USC Trojans. Notre Dame-USC tickets could be the biggest college football ticket of the year.
But who are we kidding? Every time the Irish step onto the field the entire college football nation pays attention. That's why it's important that you not put off buying Notre Dame football tickets. Make your plans to be in South Bend right now. Then, you'll be all ready to "Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame."
