[Patulski]

I expect us to win, but I do not see this team blowing out anybody.

The best part of this season is how many guys that are returning next year are getting game experience. I don't think I've ever seen so many players getting playing time in any other season as this one. And it's not in garbage time, because there hasn't been any. It's all game long.

Notre Dame can NEVER play a Friday night or Thursday night ever.....I would DIE...that just isn't ND football to me

Kelly's hilarious. I would love to go out for drinks with him sometime after he's done at ND.

--"GOOD POSSIBILITY" THAT JARRON JONES MOVES TO NOSE GUARD NEXT YEAR (there's the answer we've been looking for for months)

Could be a great move for Jones. I assume playing 3-4 NT requires less aggression than DE, which seems to be one of Jones' major deficiencies.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. Jones may not have the ability to get into the backfield by blowing by blockers or overpowering them, but he certainly has the size and strength to be an effective two-gapper. It makes sense.

I never actually get through a sentence you write. My eyes always drift to the left.

Talk about the perfect freaking answer too...

 

[PANDFAN]

LOL... this fvkin fanbase man...

my entire ND routine would be thrown off...the day of the championship game i wasn't sure what to do...what time do i start drinking??? late games are bad enough but then throw it on a week day...my world would crash....im joking but serious

 

[ulukinatme]

Theres no way we'll be blowing the doors off Pitt. Only one game has been decided by more than 1 score in the last 10 years or something, and that was the 2005 game, Charlie's first game. I'll be happy if we win, not worried about the points.

2012: 29-26 Irish 3OT
2011: 15-12 Irish
2010: 23-17 Irish
2009: 27-22 Pitt
2008: 36-33 Pitt OT
2007: No game
2006: No game
2005: 42-21 Irish
2004: 41-38 Pitt
2003: 20-14 Irish
2002: 14-6 Irish

 

[scUM Hater]

JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!

 

[IrishLion]

I'll be happy with a win, any win, as well.

However, it would be nice to see ND beat the shits out of a decent opponent for once.

Have to wait two weeks for that either way...

 

[Rudy89]

FIFY...

Honestly, I think ND blows their freaking doors off...

no you dont remeber its the other way around.....too many injuries...no hope....c'mon man its worked a lot this year...remember *nudge nudge*

 

[TheChosen1]

Remember last time they played at Pitt number 25 had a big game. I'm predicting that again.

 

[ACamp1900]

I ain’t scared of Dan Marino or Tony Dorsett in the slightest… but that’s because they don’t currently play for Pitt… the players that do play for Pitt, well I don’t know ANY of their names… but they scare the living sh!t out of me…

Way ahead of you man...

Way ahead of you man...

didnt see that yeah yeah...no shot the power of Mayday will render us unable to shakedown the thunder.

JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!

You play to win the game.

can't see thursday night games in SB ever happening, too much of the fanbase are out of towner's, logistically it wouldnt be a good idea

Past administrations have determined schoolnight games are not compatible with the school's academic mission.

 

[rikkitikki08]

People saying ND has no shot of blowing pitt out because of the score of past seasons? You cant pull stats from 7 years ago and assume they some how can correlate to what this game will bring.

[tko]

My prediction, we will play stupid football and Bob Diaco will do everything in his power to make Tom Savage look like the Heisman front runner. ND will squeak out a win on a Brindza field goal.

Yes you can. That is what statistics are used for. To analyze trends. If ND were to blow out Pitt, it would be a statistical anomaly. ND is giving no more than 5 points on the current lines. I would bet ND wins by 6.
