'Wake up the echoes' is part of the Notre Dame fight song. There is supposed to be something special about Notre Dame, a mystique that nobody in college football has. Being a team from a catholic school, they are considered "God's team" and they are supposed to have that special something on their side.
But it isn't there. It used to be but not anymore.
Not even Navy gets weak at the knees when they play Notre Dame.
In the past decade, Notre Dame has had some close calls in their 43-game winning streak against the Midshipmen and Saturday the streak was ended.
Navy defeated the Irish 46-44 in triple overtime.
This type of thing makes me, as well as all the Notre Dame fans, think that the Irish have lost the edge.
Charlie Weis was supposed to be the savior and bring the Irish back to college football's elite. Weis made fans believe that he was doing just that in the past two seasons but not one Notre Dame coach has lost to Navy in 43 years.
Why would a high school recruit want to go to South Bend and play for a team that might only get three wins this season?
My beloved Fightin' Irish might need to take the "Fightin'" part off their name real soon.
Congratulations Navy.
