In preparing a write up for the upcoming 2009 Notre Dame season, I wanted to create a unique system for measuring the team's goals. As a result, I have created three sets of rankings based on stars of three colors: green, blue, and gold.

Green colored stars will be the first and most likely, followed by blue and gold in terms of increasing difficulty. Without further ado, here are the Notre Dame Fighting Irish team goals for 2009.

Given the raised expectations in South Bend this might not seem like much of a goal, but it would be an improvement upon last year.
