Perusing the articles that I've observed regarding the upcoming game

BlueandGold.com // BGI Gazette - Monday, October 12

NDNation - Notre Dame Football, Notre Dame Basketball and Notre Dame Olympic Sports News

I've chosen to follow Weis' pre-season advise. I'm not saying anything (except here) and will choose to show it on the field - okay from Section 12 Row F.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

college gameday will be in dallas for oklahoma vs texas, as expected

 

[JefMaj]

Of course - they won't promote a NBC game.

 

[notredomer23]

we are going to win this game in 13 overtimes

 

[Steve]

Of course - they won't promote a NBC game.

They were at LSU last week and that game was on CBS.

 

[JefMaj]

Well, I'll be - I thought it was ABC (ESPN) - saw it in a sports bar with 36 TVs.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Yeah this past weekend was weird. CGD was in baton rouge for lsu - florida, then espn flew herby up to iowa to join musberger for iowa vs michigan.

 

[Legacy]

Anyone else going to the game?

lets not forget/tip of the hat boys

Olsen, Duncan,Stewart,Robinson,Young,Wenger,Romine,Dever, these guys caught %$#@ from us last year and the job they've done has been super good this year. This game (once again) rest on the shoulders of these studs. The skilled guys get the pub but this game will be won by one of two fantastic O lines in the country. Thats what I'll be watching cause SC is damn good there too. I think we win this game.

 

[bert2834]

I say we win if we don't have a single holding penalty.

 

[Jason Pham]

I'm studying abroad this semester and am absolutely livid and wanting to be back for the weekend. Campus is alive with energy and excitement. Students are having sign marking parties and each dorm is covering their buildings with massive signs. Everybody's facebook profile is a picture of a burning USC logo. And people are pumped for the game.

 

[tankjeep]

they better be pumped. this is a huge game and i'm all giddy just thinking about it.

go irish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but USC hasn't played a offense in the top 50.

They are giving up about what the opposing team is averaging, so we will see if they are that good today!

GO IRISH!!!!!!!

So since ND has faced 3 offenses in the Top 40 should we expect Southern Cal to be held to a season low?

The defense has to to step it up this week. We have to tackle... period.
