Southern Cal at Notre Dame, Oct. 17

[WabashFalcon]

Fucking grow the grass out... and flatten these mother fuckers.

35-32 Irish in a slugfest.

 

[jason_h537]

Washington plays the same offense and efense USC does only SC has better athletes. We have 2 more weeks to get healthy and prepare.

We have all seen the potential of this team but it is this type of game where that potential becomes reality.

If the team doesnt show up they need there head examined. This is not last year. This team is confident, talented, and best of all, a TEAM.

USC is gonna be on Tate all day and try to make jimmy make quick decisions. If we can run the ball and stop USC's running attack this game is ours.

I believe we will win. Our offense can score on anybody and despite the score the D played really well yesterday. Lets keep growing, get healthy and leave it all on the field

 

[IrishInFl]

Does anyone know of 2011 prospects at the game? There's going to be many OV's, so I assume there will be some unofficial visits too.

A lot people forget that we gave up 30 points but 7 were Clausen's fault. We held em to 3 field goals and usually giving up 23 points should be suffice

Wayne Lyons and Tont Springmann is supposed to be there. That is all i have heard so far

 

[tankjeep]

oh boy, i can't wait for this game. screw usc and their cheerleaders!!!!!

exactly, i love seeing these kids grow with each other and play for each other. great stuff man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IrishAlum1997]

FUSC GO IRISH!!! We win with 6 seconds left on the "Huhges Push"

Oops. Wasted this one yesterday.

 

[IrishAlum1997]

We need a GREEN OUT! spread the word

Absolutely right. This should be a mandatory EVERY WEEK. Wanna find a way to get folks fired up to overcome the doldrums of the old? Walk into a house filled with 80,795 fans wearing kelly green. (see Eugene, Lincoln, Knoxville, Columbus, etc.) It puts a buzz in the air. It feels like the beginning of something special. It gives us a distinct advantage to playing in OUR HOUSE.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

give the old people green blankets, hand warmers, whatever, i don't care.

i just want to see that kelly green at nd like i was exposed to the psu white out a week ago

 

[jfjkd01]

Another 2 week rest for Jimmy's Turf Toe, and another 300+ yards performance for him, He's going to show Poodle why he didn't want to play for USC.......

 

[johnnykillz]

We will win this game. Its time for kharma to come back around. I agree with the gentlemen above. The best thing about USC is their cheerleaders and lack of pubic hair... Here's something for those girls.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

That worked out great for penn state. Keep in mind we have about 10,000 students at the game, they have about 30-40,000. It is easier to coordinate something like that with the ratio of students to other fans being that high

 

[BillyIrish]

Ronald Johnson returned to practice for SC yesterday. He has missed each game up until now with a broken collarbone. Carroll is optimistic he will be ready to go on the 17th. damn.

Hopefully Clausen and Allen will benefit as much from the rest. We need them as close to 100% as possible.

 

[jason_h537]

Clausen refused to take the week off. Insisted on getting ready for SC and will be full go today in practice

 

[TDHeysus]

I don't wanna beat USC i wanna embarass them

I'm with you in spirit, but I would be happy with a 1 point win.

We need a GREEN OUT! spread the word

I really would like to see a home field advantage for this game. I hope the stadium is rocking on gameday.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Wanna know what I think the Athletic department should do to get the stadium really fired up?

Two words: FREE TEQUILA!!!

 

[TDHeysus]

contact the ppl at Patron, we need to get this done for Oct. 17th. We need to turn that Chardonnay crowd, into a loud, obnoxious, filthy mouth Patron shooter-crowd.

 

[ND_HAS_RISEN]

If anyone needs any "supplement" to get pumped up for this game, and to have that staduim fucking rocking, then they don't even deserve to have a ticket. What I wouldn't do to have a seat at this game, GEEZ, it would be an absolute dream. It would be like the dad in RUDY getting to see a live game for the first time!!

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

I want the entire student body to do a collective (and drunk), "You lookin' at ME?!?" to the SC crowd. Followed by an epic "Gangs of New York"-style brawl!

 

[WabashFalcon]

Free Taqulia when only wearing thongs... I think we're on to something here....

 

[dshans]

... and free Bourbon, free Scotch, free Gin, free Vodka, free Jameson, free Bushmills, free Guinness, free Harp, free Smithwick's, free Bud (shudder), free Burgundy, free Chianti, free (dare I say it?) Chardonnay, free Champagne to toast the victory and free Louis XIII cognac and Cohiba cigars to savor it all.

Shit! Gotta clear the plan with Res-Life and Security.

 

[jboxer562]

if ND wins, Clausen wins the Heisman. PERIOD. It'll overshadow anything tebow does this week. if ND wins, they will be in the top 16. If ND wins, Weis's job will be saved. If ND wins, just watch out for Stanford, BC, and Pitt, but I got faith. If ND wins, I'll stick it to my roomate who's a USC fan everyday till the end of fall semester, all of spring semester, all of summer back home, and everyday until they play again next year. If ND wins, I will be so happy, everyone in my dorm "hates" Notre Dame, so I will stick it to them FOREVER. If ND wins, I'm gettin laid. THIS GAME MEANS EVERYTHING

I support all this 100%. To put the icing on the cake, bring back Joe Fauria to lead the student section the best way he knows how. Those who remember the rumors flying around will appreciate that.

 

[bert2834]

I hate having to wait this long for another game!

I really believe we can win this game and will be deeply saddened by a loss!

Opens at ND +11

 

[irishfan]

Just checked the weather. They're saying high of 48, low of 32. The colder the better.

 

[bert2834]

I would love to see it cold!!!!!!!

Let's go Irish!!!!!!!!
