Gimme the under all day long as zone reads for no gain remain the norm. Purple face Kelly yanks Long to the ground trying to grab his headset from him, front page all over the world.

Heistand comes in to seperate them, knocks them both out, takes over play calling and installs a new playbook at halftime consisting of just dive, trap, and counter runs. ND wins by 50,000.

Would so love to see the 4 TE set with Aaron Banks at tailback and Hunter Bivins at QB.

Now that's a historic stadium... nothing like that refurbed, Johnny Come Lately the Irish are forced to play in.

The oldest stadium in the country. Reminds me of my once beautiful Soldier Field... before the UFO landed in it.

I thought Georgia Tech's stadium was the oldest.

So, got home early and figured I would DVR (in advance) the ND/BC game. Scrolled through the menu... lots of games... not this one. WTH? Is it ESPN only?

Funny thing is that the wifey and kids were heading to Calgary tomorrow to do some shopping. I invited a bunch of the lads over to watch the game and have some beverages.

There is a very severe fire throughout northern Montana and into southwest Alberta. I got a call to tell me that our ranch was under evacuation warning. Cattle, equipment, tractors, quads and everything else. Hasn't happened yet but I decided to call off the game party... just in case.

Would have been pretty embarrassing to have ten guys show up and no game. Can't find a streaming service to Canada.

Life, eh!! Cheers!

I can't say I'm worried about the BC game. But wow does Temple look like a real dog now, after struggling to beat Nova, and UMass. BC always plays tough. I hope our D has another great week. Let's not get crazy if BC scores on us 3 times I think that would be a bad day depending on circumstances.

BC's offense has been MIA for a couple years. However boy am I worried about the offense. I know Georgia has a good defense, but have we ever had a worse offensive performance under Kelly than last Saturday? (Not counting the hurricane, and his 1st year.)

Painful to watch. I guess we just have to hope to win the games we should? win, and maybe pull an upset out of USC, Stanford, Miami. But the offense will really have to improve to get that done.
Hope everybody has a great game, and we have it wrapped up by half, and we can enjoy a Saturday, until we find a way to beat State's ass.

Georgia has a great defense, not just a good one. That's the key thing. Also, the Alabama game was probably an all-time worst performance offensively, that an USC 2014, which was an all-time low for just about anything.

I can see the USC hype, but Stanford and Miami, I'm not sold. Miami has yet to play anybody of consequence so I'm reserving judgment. Stanford, I'm not buying. They're quite apparently not a good team, just as they weren't one last year, but this year, they don't have McCaffrey or Thomas to bail them out. The passing game is atrocious and their front 7 on defense is average at best.

This game should not be close. BC has a quality tandem of ends, but they're nowhere close to Georgia in terms of all-around defensive talent. ND takes it 41-7 over Fredo.

As for Sparty later, keep in mind that the two teams they've beaten, Bowling Green and Western Michigan are a combined 0-4; Bowling Green also having lost to South Dakota (not South Dakota STATE, just South Dakota, who is a mediocre FCS program). Revenge is on the mind, no excuses. That will be a blowout.

Think TSN may be streaming it on TSN GO. Game is ABC/ESPN so was surprised to see Wisconsin/BYU trump the ND/BC game in our region. You live in Edmonton BTW?

49-10 ND. I would actually like to see ND play like they are pissed off instead of conservative. EQ needs to have a big day (I have him on fantasy football team) and it would be nice to see some reserves in the 4th quarter.

I want to see Sanders get involved today. I hope to see Finke have a good game because they are double cover ESB all day. I want to see both Adams and Dexter touch the ball at least 12 a piece. The o-line needs to step up which they should against a much lesser opponent. And open the dang on play book! 38-20 Irish

Call 'em back. Tell'em to carpool over and take a tractor home for the night.

Is this the Waterton Fire?


Can you access WatchESPN?

Yes, the Waterton fire. Hasn't advanced in a few days now (thanks to some rain and north winds) but still out of control. Cheers!

This game was originally a noon kickoff. It's possible that your cable or satellite provider didn't update the guide when it was moved to 3:30.

There's a Gentlemen's Ranch near Lethbridge?

My accountant called me a "Gentleman Rancher". Apparently, it means that I have land, cattle and equipment but pay others to do all the work. It was my retirement goal to ranch and I got into the game about 12 years ago.

Found out it was way too much work. I have become lazy or smart. Did not want to confuse anyone that thought I actually know what I'm doing. Cheers!

I'm hopeful that this may be the case. I did find a live streaming site... if it's legit... Stream2Watch. Thanks and Cheers!

Took our boys -13.5 today. Call me crazy but I think they'll blow BC out. We're gonna run right through them and this D is much improved. BCs QB issue will be exposed today. 41-13ish.

Kelly/Chip need to get this offense confident for MSU next week.. I feel a pressed gas pedal coming on.

Hope you're right. I don't have the energy for a street fight today.

Stream2Watch is pretty good. FirstRowSports also works, but not as good as Stream2Watch. If you are using chrome, edit the source code and delete everything but the video player, makes it much easier to watch. If you have your cable login info you should be able to watch it on WatchESPN. It still says the game is at Noon, but I think they'll figure it out by gametime.
