Mike and Mike - Chris Carter, Galloway, and Grenbeeg all picked Clemson. Golic picked irish.

Wait, Galloway picked ND last night at halftime of the Cinci game. Lmao.

This will be similar to GT. Everyone picked GT.

Awesome is an understatement!

Wish I could take credit for that awesomeness! MS Paint Like a Champion strikes again.

This looks absolutely glorious as my background. Thanks.

So is this game going to happen Saturday night? I haven't heard much on the forecast but have seen that a few games have been getting moved up.

Signs are ready!

You figured out the clear print in a size that is easy to read. Also good contrast of colors to immediately make it obvious it is a pro-Irish sign. Messy sharpie on a Home Depot signs around you will be lost in the crowd. Well done sir.

Wait is that lake literally next to the stadium like that?????


My flight leaves Cincy at 4 for Charlotte. I'm checking for delays every 15 minutes...

The lake is three to four blocks from the stadium. It's pretty close.

I'd love to see a GameDay sign that just says "Burn the Boats." Only us #realfans would get it.

We were supposed to golf at Cherokee Valley outside of Greenville today. Called the course and it was closed. I know it is raining, but the courses in Cali wouldn't even be closed today.

Initially I was sweating this one out but I think with the rainy weather, this game is all NDs. The wet conditions will limit Clemsons passing game which is their strength, making them run the ball which is our defenses strength. Our OL will wear their defense down.

Close game halftime, ND wins by 10

Irish leave a shamrock in Death Valley

I like how the announcer prior to the Georgia Tech kickoff said "It's time to burn the boats!" Obviously not every fan will get it, but I'm sure a lot of people have been following the Showtime series regardless. My brother is a more casual fan, he doesn't have Showtime or posts on IE and he still finds a way to watch the videos too.

It's honestly one of the best battle cries ever.

My wife is the same way. She comes and goes in and out of the room when the actual games are on, but she loves the Showtime series. She got the biggest kick out of the guys coaching the girls' flag football team. It's an awesome reminder that these are college kids doing college kid stuff.

Obviously I'm biased, but I can't fathom how any recruit on the planet could watch that show and not commit the next day.

We deserve success more than anybody else

Any way we can get the cleats Stanford wore against us in 2011 before the game?

Somebody needs to do this. For realz.

We need to get our Twitter-Folks runnin' some #burntheboats action going.

Clemson hasn't really played much of anyone (Wofford, App State, Louisville), but their defense has been pretty stout. They are giving up less than 115(114.7) yards a game rushing. Even though you might want to chalk that up to teams abandoning the running game because of a blowout (they beat Wofford by 39, and App State by 31), the Louisville game was close (it was 7-3 at the half, and only 17-10 at the start of the 4th Q)and Clemson gave up 19 yards rushing on 28 carries. So this should be a pretty good test of our running game. But don't be surprised if Kelly DOES throw the ball all over the field, especially if Clemson comes out with an extra guy in the box to guard against the run.

I would bet that Kizer gets a few designed "run w/pass option" plays called for him. That might give us the numbers required to run the ball effectively. And it might also bait Clemson into selling out against the run, leaving our receivers open often. Clemson does appear to have a pretty disruptive defense, though, as is evidenced by their 9.3 TFL/game. By comparison; with all of the penetration that ND has been getting, we only average 7.0 TFL/game.

So this will be an interesting game. I dare say that, win or lose, there will be some folks stroking out over the play calling tomorrow night.

Does anyone think that our typical take-the-ball-first approach might backfire huge in this game? Offense is likely going to be a disaster, as will punting... meaning the field will be totally flipped potentially for the whole half if we have the ball. And it'll keep the crowd in it from the very beginning.

In the second half, the rain isn't supposed to be as heavy meaning it might be possible to throw the ball.

Ok here's the deal. I'm staying right next to a Walmart. If I am sober enough at 7am I will get up, go to the Walmart and buy the materials to make the sign. No promises.

It's just going to say

BURN THE BOATS

I might have to use duct tape or something so the rain doesn't wash away the words.

IDK about 'huge', but I firmly believe this is going to be a defensive ball game, and I like either defense to 'win' the first series. So basically I'm an advocate of kicking off if given the option so we can get the first 'win' to get some mo on our side.

Louisville ranks #92 in the country in rushing...

I hardly ever think it's a good idea to take the ball first so I definitely think it would be a terrible idea in this game.

I honestly don't think a game has ever been won or lost because of the coin flip.

Also, it could be looked at the other way. That if we get up early, it puts Clemson on their heels and forces them to throw the ball in inclement weather, leading to turnovers.
