Bobby Clark Game Quotations

Going into every game we look to play well individually and collectively,

I think we're now beginning to become a team. I don't think we're a team yet but we're getting very close to it. We start off at the beginning of preseason a new group of guys, then I look at every game, we should become more and more of a unit ... we always say that every game were going to improve a little bit every game.

The whole key to the goal was Miller's pass. It was a beautiful pass and opened up the field. This weekend shows how closely bunched the top 25 and even the top 50 teams in the nation are in the men's soccer game. St. Louis played a great game against us and a great game against IU (a 1-1 tie on Friday and here they are with a 1-2-1 record so far.

This is a game that I think could really make this team be of age. I think this is a great opportunity game for us, and I think its one where I think we're capable of - I know we're capable, I don't just think we're capable - but this is a wonderful opportunity for this team.

They're a good team. And then when you add the fact of the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry, that makes it a game that is going to count in everybody's minds.

Dartmouth wanted to help and New Mexico has also supported the situation and that is where Tommy (Clark) did his residency. Stanford is where Jamie (Clark) went to school and they have been very supportive as well. Then I wanted to get Notre Dame involved once I came here. We are looking to help alleviate the situation. It's an extremely worthy cause and we are happy to do anything we can. Everyone who gives a dollar at the game will really help to try and stop this curse.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the game on Saturday and contributed to Grassroot. Grassroot Soccer will benefit by over $7,500, which is a terrific response from the Notre Dame community.
