It wasn’t so long ago that Notre Dame had to deal with the “good up front, but no playmaker” stigma that haunts teams from the midwest (think Wisconsin). Now, thanks to Golden Tate, Mike Floyd, Kyle Rudolph etc, the world realizes Notre Dame has the skill talent to match up with anybody. Given good play up front, the Irish are gonna put on an offensive clinic this year.

And while they are doing so, the biggest of the big play guys will be Golden Tate. Here are some of the things he plans to do this season:

TO DO LIST

10.) Keep up his blogging career by writing a guest post on South Bend Blarney. (That’s right, dream big son.)

9.) See Kim Kardashian’s ass in person. Can it really be that big?

8.) A kick and punt return for a touchdown. Were talking reversing the field three times, cross-cuttin’, zig-zaggin’, ping-pongin’, jaw-droppin’, taking it to the house like Peter Warrick used to do. Preferably in the same game.

7.) Having the rapport with Jimmy Clausen to be the quarterbacks’ personal third down “get outta jail” card.

6.) To punch Brent Musburger in the face. Somebody has to take down the king of exaggeration for the good of America.

5.) 5 plays like this.

4.) To personally treat USC stud safety Taylor Mays like 80’s pop icon George Micheal likes to treat himself in public restrooms. (Hint: Straight abusin’ him.)

3.) 1400 yards and 16 touchdowns. ‘Cuz goofy-looking white guys like Jeff Samardzija shouldn’t hold receiving records of any kind.

2.) 1st team All-American. We can’t make Phil “The Bible” Steele look like he doesn’t know what he is talking about, can we?

1.) Undefeated season and National Championship. ‘Cuz Eff the Notre Dame haters.
