Good finish but glad it's over

Finally it has ended. Notre Dame's football season has come to a close and as weird as it sounds, Irish fans couldn't be happier.

The season didn't end so bad though. The Irish ended the season with a home win against Duke and a win at Stanford.

It is good for a group of young players to build some confidence but in all honesty, it was against Duke and Stanford. Two teams that are just not very impressive.

So what is next for this Notre Dame team? Recruit and regroup.

Head coach Charlie Weis will not make the trip home with the team because he will stay in California and try to pick high school players away from arch rival Southern California. Wouldn't that have Irish eyes smiling?

After recruiting, Weis will meet up with his buddies on the New England Patriots coaching staff to review the season and get some pointers from Patriots genius head coach Bill Belichick.

The next thing you know it's time to start spring practice.

Please Charlie, don't make us go through another season like this ever again.

Signed, Irish fans.
