Ditto. Hopefully not the last visit by USC, always a special game.

2009 I think

 

[IRISHFAN76]

Haven't been to a game since 2003. I will be in attendance for this

I'll be there

My dad is a 1970 ND graduate. He brought my brother and I up right and we're both fans. The only time he's been back to campus was when he took me when I was visiting colleges in 2006.

My dad's now 77 years old, and while he's not in exceptional bad health he is slowing down and I see where things are going. This might be the last year he can go to something like this.

I have 3 tickets to this game and I couldn't be more excited.

 

[ND4LIFE]

Does anyone have a line on tickets for this game?

Thinking about taking a gamble on trying to get tickets the day before/of. $300 per right now is a bit too much for me.

You can probably get tickets day of, from scalpers, for less.

When was the last time the fanbase was this amped up for the SC game? I don't think 2023 comes anywhere close to this year.

My season tix face value for SC are $425 each, not including the extra charge for the privilege of being a season ticket holder. :-(

Scalpers? Aren't all tickets digital now?

Watched most of the MSU game last night. I don’t think MSU is very good (more a talent thing) but I think this is probably a top 15 team. Offense is loaded (as usual), Maiava is improved, RBs are good, Lemon is a stud.

It gives me no pleasure to report that they have some absolute dudes on the DL. Jakheem Stewart, Kameryn Fountain, Braylan Shelby, Anthony Lucas - all top 100 guys who flashed. They have 16 total sacks through 4 games lmao. That being said, the DBs don’t appear very good, and the LBs seem average.

Scouting report:

- D still bad
- Riley still dumb

Sounds like a you problem for putting any faith in them 😂

It was less faith in them and more a belief that Illinois is a total fraud lol.

I would be surprised if Illinois is still top 25 by year end

 

[Crazy Balki]

The problem was never Grinch. I kept saying it.

USC wasn't going to improve defensively, because that is Lincoln Riley's MO. That's the identity he brings.

He's all about passing the ball. It gets all the attention, in practice, in games, etc.

He's also, by all accounts, not super magnetic personality wise, like Freeman. He's practically a play caller first and a head coach second. Hard to be that when you have issues on the other side of the ball constantly.

Smart girl, with nice make-up

USC now has 2 weeks before Michigan, but I'm going to start praying now for the meteor to hit the Coliseum on 11/11.
