Miami was just one of those strange games that happen... I don't think it was as much game plan or match-up as it was just one of those tidal wave games where you blink and it's over... they happen every now and then.

Line has moved to ND -6.5. That's a pretty crazy jump for it being only Wednesday. Glad I grabbed em at -5.

Chris Fowler just tweeted out that there would be a wrinkle added to their “enter sandman” entrance. Is it possible that Metallica would play it, live?

I heard it's going to have an alumni twist. Steve Bannon and Tyrod Taylor are going to combo on "Enter Sandman", and Michael Vick will lead the student section in "Who let the Dogs Out"

At 4am the VegasInsider line was ND -6.5.

Now at -6.



Curiously when the odds were at ND -4.5, OddsShark's computer had VT winning, straight up, by a fraction of a point a few days ago. Then switched to ND by a fraction of a point as the ND spread increased. Now their computer has ND winning, straight up, by a Full Point as they list a -6.5 spread.

I heard VT was asking their fans for dress for a White Out, VT's typical attire for a 1aa opponent.


However I found a website calling for a Stripped Hokie Effect, alternating vertical sections of the stadium to wear Maroon or Orange to provide contrast. A color coordinated seating chart is at the LINK:

Playing a 1aa school is embarrassing.

Getting your fans to wear a theme color (absence of color) against a 1aa team is insulting.

Left tackle Liam Eichenberg was asked about the environment coming Saturday night in Lane Stadium.

"It’s gonna be loud. But our stadium is loud. I’m excited to go in there, kick the shit out of them, get a win, then get out of there."

This is one of the reasons you play football for ND. Week in week out crazy matchups with teams fixing for a fight. Hell its the reason you play football period. A Saturday night in October, lights on, crowd fired up. Time to bring the pain.

The cover band, “Creeping Death”

They’re gonna have Dave Mustaine play Enter Sandman? Hopefully he doesn’t break down in tears mid song. I’d go with Seek and Destroy or Damage Inc. myself.

One of their other key DL (Gaines?) is questionable due to the loss of his mother this week. Usually, those situations lead to the player playing b/c “that’s what (insert lost loved one) would want” but worth watching.

Lol! You think like an ND fan...I like it! I can hear the announcers telling the sad story now and then bludgeoning it to death every time VT is on D.

I know Flutie is heartbroken it can't be him.

Justin Fuente said on the ACC teleconference that he anticipates DE Houshun Gaines will be available Saturday against Notre Dame. Gaines' mother passed away Monday. #Hokies

ND as lit a candle for Houshun Gaines’ mother who just recently passed away:

Candle lit and prayers said for Tardra, Houston and their family -- at a very special place here at Notre Dame. Heaven is home now! @NDMiami @TNNDN @HeadlinesHokie

What position was the player who got kicked off the team after their ODU loss? Was that DE as well? Also, if I recall, he was their best DE?
