ESPN's ND circle jerk begins in...3..2..1...

 

IMO, this 'impressive' win over a WAC team and the 7-6 record should insure the Domers a preseason #1 ranking for '09. The facts from this game are just staggering!

 

From ESPN:

 

"I'm very happy for Notre Dame. This was a great step forward for us," Weis said. "It leads us into 2009 with a good taste in our mouth."

 

Fast Facts

 

• The Fighting Irish ended their NCAA-record nine-game bowl losing streak in style, scoring the most points by a Notre Dame team in a bowl game and rewriting the Notre Dame postseason record book for their first bowl victory since the 1994 Cotton Bowl.

 

• Jimmy Clausen had one of the best bowl games ever by a Notre Dame quarterback, completing 84.6 percent of his passes (22-for-26) for 401 yards and five TDs -- all Fighting Irish bowl records.

 

• With the win, Notre Dame improved to 7-6 and secured its 102nd winning season in 120 years of football.

 

• Hawaii snapped its three-game win streak in the Hawaii Bowl and has now lost its last two bowl games overall by a combined score of 90-31.

 

• Notre Dame players wore names on backs of jerseys for the first time since the 1988 Cotton Bowl vs. Texas A&M.

Perhaps ND will change their name to the 'Golden Tate Warriors'! :w00t
