@ Michigan(3-9 in 2008)-ND won 35-17
Vs. Michigan St. –lose Javon Ringer and starting QB
@ Purdue-ND won 38-21 in 2008
Vs. Washington-ND won 33-7 in 2008
Vs. USC
Vs. Boston College-ND lost 17-0 in 2008-BC loses starting QB and #1 WR
Vs. Wash. St.(neutral site)- 2-11 in 2008
Vs. Navy-ND won 27-21 in 2008-lose top 2 RBs and both QBs
@ Pitt-ND lost 36-33 in 4 OTs in 2008-lost best player (McCoy)
Vs. Connecticut-7-5 in 2008-lose starting QB
@ Stanford-5-7 in 2008-ND won 28-21 in 2008
I know it’s hard for some of you to believe, but ND will be back. I’m saying the USC game and at Pitt will be our only losses. 10-2 will put us around #10-15. We should start out 5-0 and win our last 2. Always good to start and finish strong. Then notice I have 3 senior offensive linemen and three significant defensive players as seniors on that 10-2 team. We’ll bring back 8 starters on each side of the ball

All right. This is a test comment. First I want to see that it works. Second I want to see if it sends out an e-mail to the selected people!
Works really well. i forgot how great samardjia was. hopefully, our new core of receivers will mature to jeff's level. anxious for new season, even if it IS charlie's last at nd.

Nice job, Coach! The site looks great!
I do have one suggestion. It's hard to read the headings on your sidebar because they are tiny.
If you go to Customize, then click Layout, then click Fonts and Colors. Scroll down and click on "Sidebar Title Font" and then you can click "Larger" under Font Size.
That should make those sidebar titles bigger and easier to read.
