Teams out of nowhere? Sputtering?

I'm as disappointed as you are regarding the loss, a game ND certainly could have won. But to say Virginia is a "team out of nowhere" is crazy. They have a rich tradition of success and have been on a steady rise since Lars took over there 3 years ago. Penn State is a bit more of a newcomer, but their coach had great success at Cornell and has finally gotten his (healthy) players in place. Ament was hurt last year - they would have been a much better team with him playing.

While we all want ND to get over the hump and win an NC, the program has been consistently very good with Corrigan at the helm. We will always question some decisions, like the last play of regulation, but to call the team "sputtering" is a bit extreme.

Besides the success we all want on the field, keep in mind the extraordinary things the coaching staff does for these players - international travel, exposure to career options, networking with alums, etc.
