Quite simply ....
THE GREATEST WIN IN THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM!! Tears are STREAMING DOWN MY FACE with JOY for the SENIORS and the COACHING STAFF and the entire TEAM!! SO PROUD OF THE LADS!!
Bobby "The Brain" Diaco
DIALED UP the SWARMING DEFENSE and the players CUT IT LOOSE so that Utah scored fewer points than the number of wives some Utah residents will score with tonight!! A measley field goal from the team rated #5just seven days ago!! Are you KIDDING ME?? Prince Shembo has been promoted ... TO KING!! Man-ti is now GOD-WIN!! Ethan Johnson ... a BEAST!! Jamorous Slaughter ... SLEW the UTES!! Harrison Smith delivered HIGHWAY ROBBERY -- What a PICK!! Gary Gray, I dub the CASTAWAY because you are a MAN ON AN ISLAND ... SHUTDOWN CORNER!! Even Schwenke brought a little KONA!! And who isn't happy for BRIAN "The Hammer" Smith -- whose day started with tears of joy and sadness while arm and arm with his emotional and understanding pops and ended with tears of just JOY while arm and arm with his happy few, his Band of Brothers!! DOMINATING DEFENSE!!
And how about young "Touchdown" Tommy Rees??!!?? Every time they flashed the Chewing Gum/Curious George poster we DELIVERED THE GOODS!! SEVEN TD passess in SEVEN Quarters?? Are you KIDDING ME?? And "Sheriff" Lo Wood -- BRINGING THE THUNDER!! The Offensive LINE .... STUD!! You simply CANNOT STOP THE LADS!! KUDOS to KAMARA who DANCED in the END ZONE ... for JOY!! GLORY!! GLORY!! GLORY!! B-Kell BROUGHT IT today!!
And DO NOT forget those special teams. Robert Blanton could have snagged that ball from the punter's DROP if he wanted to ... but he thought the TWAP, scoop and score was WAY COOLER (and I wholeheartedly AGREE!!) And Austin "see what you hit" Collingworth PUT IT ON THE BALL!! And who wasn't SOBBING LIKE A BABY ON A BAD DAY FOR THAT BABY during the halftime story on young Mr. Ruffer??
The LADS PUT THE LUMBER to the team one week removed from the #5 spot in the land -- with a BULLET!! If you beat the team one week removed from #5 by 25 (going away I might add, with our foot off the proverbial gas), we could DEFINITELY beat Auburn, Oregon or David Boies State by at least 14. Oh, I did I mention the Lads did it without their #1 QB. Without their #1 Running Back. Without their #1 Tight End. Without their #2 WR? Without their #2 leading tackler and starting Linebacker?? INCREDIBLE!!
PUT THE LADS IN THE BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME -- THEY HAVE EARNED IT!!
And I'd say put B Kell in the PANTHEON .... But he is ALREADY THERE!! The ONLY Coach in ND's storied history to ever beat Utah (only 7 days from their being ranked #5).
There is a LEVIATHAN growing on the Northern Indiana plains. And the rest of the college football world is SHAKING WITH FEAR!!
GREATEST WIN IN OUR HISTORY!!
GREATEST TEAM IN OUR HISTORY!!
