[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Today is the day and this is the team. Go Irish!

 

[brandonnash]

Alright girls, up and at 'em! Long day ahead of us.

 

[ARALOU]

Girls? Where? What are they wearing? Bikini I hope. Its South Beach ya know.

 

[ThePiombino]

Just as I suspected, couldn't sleep. It's like Christmas morning.

I've been in the office for 30 mins, and I've already almost thrown up I'm so f'n happy and nervous all at the same time.

I just want to say thank you to all of you. Thank you for sharing the same passion and insanity for Notre Dame as I do. I dont know what i would do without everyone at IE.

GO IRISH!!!

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Me too, can't take being in this office today. I'm leaving at noon, can't be here or concentrate on anything besides the NCG.

 

[FLDomer]

I cant wait for Noon so I can blow this joint and start freaking out more about this game! GO IRISH!!!

 

[Cackalacky]

Might skip my last class tonight though. .......yeah, gonna have to do that.

 

[yankeeND]

Good morning everybody! Just want to wish everyone hopefully the best night of your football lives! This is what I am hoping to be the start of what we all have been waiting for, a dynasty of our own! Go Irish beat Bama!!!

Hope you and all the folks (well not the tide fans) down in S Florida enjoy the game.

This is going to be my least productive work day in quite some time.

 

[NDohio]

Just so full of nervous energy I can't stop eating this AM. It's finally here.

GAME DAY!!

Tonight we dream of a national championship . Tomorrow, we live it.

I literally dreamed we won the national championship last night. Was a close game, that ww were able to run the clock out on.

 

[Irish#1]

Alarm went off and I usually hit the snooze, but not this time. I got into the office a little earlier than usual just to get on this site and share my emotions with the rest of my Irish brothers. I'm a little nervous but not nearly as nervous as I thought I would be. I feel very good about this game.


God bless you all with an Irish championship!

It's still only just after 5am out here in California, but we need to get everyone up and posting. I need some company.

[NCND]

Watching Rudy.. Can't sleep. I just feel like ND will not be denied. Go Irish!

 

[Irish#1]

That's what I figured. I was just hoping you didn't think that.

My confidence is shattered again.

Here's why your confidence should be waning.

1. The Tide have NOT played a defense the caliber of Notre Dames.
2. This team is as well conditioned as any team in the country. Google Paul Longo.
3. It's been 25 years since the Irish have been here. They know what this means to the tradition and history of ND. They will not let an opportunity like this escape them.
4. They played a tougher schedule than Bama with several tight games and know how to win those.
5. Bama has been here recently. How hot are the embers burning? Not as hot as the Irish.
6. Saban is a great coach, but Kelly won't leave any stone unturned. I.E. he had the team hydrating two weeks ago to negate any possible affects of the heat and possible cramping.
7. Golson has matured mentally as the season went on and he comes up his biggest in the big games. I think this is the biggest game isn't it?
8. This team has the "IT" factor. Call it luck, spirit, team unity, mental toughness or whatever, but they have it.
9. Manto will be playing his final game in a Notre Dame uniform. (I think that says it all)

Funny thing is I forgot set my alarm today and I still woke up almost exactly when I normally would.

I slept great last night. I don't know why just feel really confident.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Our Lady of Victory, pray for us! GO IRISH! My stomach is already in knots. This is going to be a long day. Fortunately, I'm swamped at work so it'll help to keep my mind off the game for awhile.

 

[NCND]

So damn pround to be a Irish fan. To think where this team was after that Tulsa game in 2010 to now, just plain amazing.

 

[PANDFAN]

Guys, any idea the exact time this game will kick off?

they said on tv shortly after 830



I have the day off today and i cant watch enough stuff on tv and computer at once.

I actually didn't mind working today. Now working tommorrow? That is another story.

 

[Bubba]

I'm off also. Gonna be a loooong day. Gametime cannot get here soon enough!!

 

[Irishman77]

Today is going be a glorious day. I could not stop game planning to get sleep. I couldn't imagine being a coach last night. I think I would be chugging Benadryl to fall asleep.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I was getting wrapped too tight early this morning, then I watched the pep rally on-line.

Lou Holtz, on thinking about Mark May:

"I remind him of the bumper sticker (often), 'Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you are an a$$hole.'"

 

[koonja]

Anyone watching Mike and Mike? It's all Irish fans I can literally only see one man wearing Bama gear.

 

[NDFan4Life]

Took today off to take my Mom to the doctors.

Put in for a sick day the Monday after the USC game for tomorrow. I told my boss I had the "Fightin' Irish Flu".
