If anyone has two extras, I’ll do a naked lap.

Just kidding, but they’re for my boss, a big ND guy. Would greatly appreciate it. Hope everyone is well.

Will Notre Dame fans show up in Georgia like Georgia showed up at Notre Dame?

They owned our stadium. Lighters up and all.

No way. Their fans aren't huge money-grubbing, soulless b!tches.

That's right, all of you are now put on blast.

ND is not going to create a sea of red situation, where about 40-45% of the stadium was opposing fans.

30-40K would be about a third of the stadium.

That's probably not gonna happen. I'd say 16-20K is about the right number, say 18-20%.

Situation has changed, where ND fans have far higher incentive to buy/hold, rather than sell like they did in 2017. Difference is that Georgia also has high incentive to buy/hold. Free market rules however, and ND's fanbase is everywhere and travels better than just about any fanbase.

Being an ND fan, it is remarkable to me that fans from different teams get together to cheer on their conference. I guess there is conference pride but why? Is it to help offset the pain of not actually winning? So the bad teams in the SEC can still point to those at the top and say, "see? SEC is the best!"

It's a foreign concept to me.

It's an utterly stupid concept.

But it's basically a defense mechanism a lot of SEC teams have to prop up their own team, when they are in an argument with a non-SEC team fan.

At that point, you're no longer defending ND from Georgia or Florida or Kentucky. You're defending ND from the entire SEC.

studies show that athletes get a bump in testosterone when they win, also fans of the team also tend to get a bump in testosterone. Hence if you root for a conference team....

ND fans are everywhere...and they likely have more money per fan than any other real fanbase

Studies also show..

Steroids and cheating still exist.

My guesstimate is 15K ND fans

Problem is that it's gonna be hard to tell how many ND fans there actually are, since we can't seem to wear a unified color for apparel. I imagine you'll see a healthy serving of green, blue, grey, dark blue and maybe some yellow.

Tops

I tell my SEC friends all the time. Sure, ND is irrelevant...until they travel to your team’s town & set the attendance record. And spoiler alert...it ain’t ND fans filling that stadium.

Dark colors dont show up on tv....much less the lack of uniformity. You can always tell where NDSU fans are at when we invade stadiums for FBS games because we wear yellow. ND fans wear a conglomerate of colors...none of which stand out to the naked eye other than the green perhaps.

There will be 15K there.

Every ND fan south of the Mason-Dixon with economic freedom will have looked into this game.

Georgia is bringing in a set of bleachers for the game, so they will be setting an attendance record.

If I recall that weekend correctly-

Friday-Braves @ Cubs
Saturday- UGA@ND
Sunday- Falcons @ Bears

So that was the perfect sports trifecta for UGA fans and I’m sure that helped give a sizable incentive to make the trip up.

It is rather enjoyable when we've beaten LSU in our last two meetings. Our fans always counter the "S-E-C" chants with "In-de-pen-dent!"
