My wife pointed out to me last night that this game will be on at the same time as my daughter's birthday party... probably best that I skip it honestly...

the UM game never does well by my blood pressure anyway.

I skipped last year's game. I hate michigan far too much to watch a game when there's anybody around whom I'm not extremely close with. I've had numerous michigan friends invite me to watch a game but I've always declined. I broke anything within arm's reach after He-who-cannot-tie-his-shoes threw an #armpunt for a touchdown over he-who-never-turned-his-f*cking-head (Gary Gray). That's when I realized I needed to remove myself from polite company while watching that game. So I completely understand - the last thing you need is to let lose a bunch of expletives with a bunch of little kids and their parents near. Worst-case: we lose, and you saved yourself some heartbreak and the embarrassment and potential ostracization of your wife and daughter haha

Man up Mack!

I watched last year's game on the 50 under the lights. The crowd was freaking awesome and the night was perfect. A thing of beauty to behold.

I was also at Michigan for the Rocket game. I cannot tell you the joy of hearing 104,000 people in total silence as Rocket knelt in the end zone after his second return.

The series is ending, but I hope for your sake in your life (if you already haven't) that you get to experience an ND win over UM live.

I got to watch ND crush them my sophomore year in 2008 in the rain. It was glorious - but I didn't loathe them as much as I do now. I only really started despising michigan after we lost in 2009 where my friends and I were treated like $hit in Ann Arbor while minding our own business. Then we lost the first of 3 heartbreaking final minute games. I hate how their fans win by sheer luck in the last thirty seconds, congratulate themselves on being the greatest while denigrating the team that they got lucky as hell and beat. I hate them with all my heart, and if it takes me being out of the country for them to crush michigan, I'll gladly do it.

Then I hope when the series returns you can watch another win at ND. They are far less annoying when they lose at our place- like last year. They were quiet little mouses.

ACamp, if you break down and decide to watch the game with everyone there...be sure to tape your reaction if we end up losing. It could go viral and make you famous at least.

I see a Vine of the year coming...

I watched ND-MSU in a big Sparty household and it was great. They literally knew had no idea who EG was before the game and presumed their defense would hold us scoreless :) Their meltdown over Maxwell's poor play reminded me alot of 2011 Turnover Tommy meltdowns Ive see on here :)

I will reiterate again my belief that you gotta watch games with fans of ND's opponents as much as possible. Its great craic. :D

Craic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doesn't quite do the tongue justice. There's a wee bit of poetry that's lost over the internet (as opposed to a proper pint).

My roommates and I are making the trip from SB to Ann Arbor for this one, and it falls on one my roommates 21st birthdays. So let's just say, regardless of the outcome, many of us will not be remembering the post game festivities.

GO IRISH

Didn't see them today, but did they look that much faster than Notre Dame?

Also, is game day going to be there next weekend?

Just my opinion, but their defense is faster than ours based on what I saw today.

Doubt it unless Georgia loses. #5 GA plays #6 USC next week, and both will move into the top 5 with wins.

Word makes sense about the SEC game next week.

I don't get how UM defense can look faster than ours...We have recruited better defense prospects the past few years.

Can't wait for this series to be over with... As is usually the case this game will most likely set the tone for the rest of both teams seasons...

Very, very True!! I hate to see her go! but in all reality we might as well go down the same path if that is what 'ESPN' needs in order to find a real college football team? REALLY??? Is this what we have commentated our world to be?

Joke gets funnier every time you make it.

Notre Dame won't host GameDay next weekend but the Irish will be a part of the circus. It's coming to Ann Arbor.

So, I've run into quite the predicament for next's week game.

As you all can tell, I live in Canada. And in Canada, unless you have Apple TV you can't get ESPN (effective June 2013). With Rogers, the main cable provider to most canadians, including myself, I can not get the ESPN channel itself :( only ESPN classic which mostly shows old basketball and boxing matches

Sometimes we'll have TSN, TSN2 or ABC broadcast ESPN games, but as for ESPN itself, I can't get it.

So, my biggest question to my fellow ND fans, do you guys know of any valid online websites or links that can broadcast live ESPN shows and games that are good quality and audio online? Or any other ways to watch the game live on saturday night via computer?

Same thing happened to me in 2011 when we played Michigan, I literally followed the game for three hours on espn.go.com's live play-by-play tracker. Which I think was in hindset the best thing considering how that game ended, I would have hated to have seen that live with my eyes... Also missed the schlacking we put on Purdue that year :(

But ya, anyways, can anyone help me out with my predicament?

Much appreciated, guys!
