Not aired on NBC in the Raleigh market, I'm hoping my DirecTv has it on the channel formerly known as VS

Apparently in order to get the noon ECU/South Carolina game they had to commit to an SEC double header to bump out ND. Freaking crock of sh!t!

You can come to my house. We're getting the feed from Norfolk.

Was anybody at the Purdue game last week or able to watch it on tv? I've been looking for highlights on youtube but can only find one stupid red zone passing play. Always helpful to see these guys move to get a sense of the real threat.

As a Purdue student, I'll be going to this game....

Cheering on ND of course!

I have a few purdue friends/fans coming with me. They want to know why I'm so enamored with ND. I'm sure they'll see why after this trip.

I have three sons and a daughter with Purdue degrees. They still have ND as number one in their heart. They would tell me stories of getting crap thrown at them when it was a Purdue home game and they were of course in the Purdue student section wearing the colors of the Irish.

I think this will be a better game than most expect. Their All Amercian (Short?) D lineman is projected as a top 15 pick next year. I'm glad we have an experienced line this year. I look for this to be close until midway thru the third quarter when our speed, size and depth should start to take its toll.

Strong winds might be in play tomorrow. According weather Channel 20-30 mph winds. If that is the case, do you think it helps us or hurts us?

Absolutely helps us. We're a running team (so far). Purdue's a passing team.

Yeah. But the drinks are a lot more expensive.

haha I hate living in Northern Virginia some times... was in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach all last weekend and my girlfriend & I were astounded at how CHEAP everything was! We got the best meal we've had in months for literally 1/2 of the price we would pay in DC. Sigh.

Per Intellicast Weather:
Details for Saturday, September 08
Partly cloudy and windy. High 67F. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph.

This is truly a benefit to ND. I am hoping for gusts over 30mph. Our power running game will benefit. Further, Purdue will be in big trouble going into that wind.

Bring on mother natures fury!! WINDY!!

OK, I get that they have a good defensive line with one elite player. But wasn't this kid on the squad last year? Does anyone remember last year's jail-sexing at THEIR place? Where was Kawann Short then?

We ran the ball 40 times for 287 yards. Short had two tackles. "NFL-caliber" defensive line my white Irish ***.

Well, that about sums up my thoughts on the matter.
