Well, it's starting to sink in that I'll be watching from home. I never for a moment thought I wouldn't be at the game tonight, not a single second it crossed my mind that I may not get in. But 4 hours before kickoff and the ND side has under 50 tickets available and it's looking like 10k for 2. Totally bummed but doing my best not to let it ruin the day/night, why I didn't pull the trigger is beyond me. Being so close made me think I could get a steal day of....SMMFH

When was the last time game tickets started going up instead of down as the clock ticked down?

My wife made plans to watch with some family friends of ours tonight. I like them and they are ND fans (on a very casual level) but I would really prefer to be at home so I don't have to self-regulate.

I’ll be watching at work tonight so you’re welcome to use my house.

Wild - the red just stands out so damn much.

Would be super super impressive if we have the fan advantage despite being such a big underdog. Really thought it would be mostly OSU bc of the spread.

Most ND love stories start with the influence of Fathers.

Not mine.

My Nana loved Notre Dame. As did her five sisters.

In my Mom's generation, her and four of her six brothers and sisters loved Notre Dame. The vast majority of their cousins love ND, and one even graduated from there.

In my generation, almost all of us love ND and there's an additional graduate amongst us.

Some of my fondest memories of childhood are being at my Nana's house watching the Irish. She would get so excited when they scored - I can still picture the smile on her face. She would often get equally as excited on replays of the scores and sometimes didn't realize they were a replay. Her excitement was childlike, in the best sense of the term.

My Nana was the last of the sisters to pass away. She died the summer before the 2012 season. I was so certain as that season progressed that she was going to make sure they won it all.

I won't be watching with any siblings or cousins tonight. Just my kids for a few minutes before bed and then my disinterested wife before she goes to bed. But, even though I won't physically be with my family I will be united with them in spirit and know that all across this country they are watching too. All of us will be thinking of each other. Mostly though, we will be thinking of our Nana's. In some sense, I always thought it fitting that our devotion to Our Lady's University would come from a love and devotion to the matriarchs of our family.

God bless the Nana's. God bless this university and the bonds that tie us to it.

God bless these coaches and this team.

Our Lady of Victory, pray for us! ☘️

Hell yeah, my nana took me to my first game: 41-0 whooping of Navy in 1989.

I had a dream last night. The recall is spotty but what does stand out in my memory is that Xavier Watts came to play, was resilient, and OSU could do nothing against him. 🍀🍀🍀

Insane.

But they expect low ratings / “no buzz for the game” because of conflict with NFL playoffs, inauguration, etc. I think they need to find a way to move up the schedule by a week or so.

I have read no less than 3 “anonymous scouts and coaches” pieces. That latest from Thames, 10/10 interviewed picked the Buckeyes.

Maybe they are right, but if Notre Dame wins, this has to be greatest ND victory of all time and greatest National Champion of all time.

The NFL scout who called it a Cinderella March Madness run can fuck off.

This isn’t Butler

Literally are #2 is essentially every power rating system, anyone saying this is a “Cinderella run” needs to be ignored. Regardless of outcome, This certainly isn’t a fluke like some are making it out to be. Really pisses me off when the best team in 30+ years is discounted like that.
