I'm coming up for the game. I'm 1-6 all-time seeing the Irish in person. I apologize in advance.

Question:

Where does this game rank in "biggest games" for BK?

Objectively, taking the long view of things, it's in the top 10 but not an end-all-be-all.

Natty, Stanford in '12, Oklahoma '12, USC '10, FSU '14, Stanford '15, and some others were all comparable or more important.

Looking strictly at his future and the team moving forward from this point in time, this game is a 9.5 out of 10 on the importance scale. By beating Michigan this game became a "must win" because of how it sets the team up for the future... if he already had an L on the schedule it'd be like an 8 out of 10, but right now he has the opportunity to do something special.

Stanford gives up 8 yards per pass attempt.

Book shreds them
Dexter takes the offense to the next level

Irish make a major statement

Notre Dame 38
Stanford 20

Stanford board is very confident going into this weekend

I don't doubt it... can't blame them either with the recent history. A little bit like MSU in recent years for us... we are rarely worried as a base with that game, even when they are really good.

Does anyone else here kind of get a 2017 USC game vibe?

Overrated, "nervous atmosphere" going in, with a lot of ND question marks...

Would love to repeat the results from last year (against USC). Could be a huge statement win.

Gotta keep the players cool somehow

Way too basic for these aspiring TechBros. They use those fancy f*cking gloves now.

Is their insufferable band still banned from ND campus? I hope so.

We ought to strategically place lockers around the field so the Leprechaun can shove the Tree into them repeatedly.

If you find any of these, please bring them in for testing, we're still unsure if there really exist Stanford Fans. Also, tell her they'll probably be wine drunk, and want to discuss politics.

(in all honesty, how many Stanford fans actually show up in southbend? They don't really go to their own home games after all...

lol......That's what I told her, but did say that if any happen to sit next to us they will be a little more sophisticated than any scUM fan. I also checked StubHub and the seats next to us are for sale, so at this moment we'll have some elbow room.

They have a board?

Yeah, the CARDboard...

I was checking it out today. Apparently there is an ND fan that posts there, but he is WAY too nice to those douches... Saying our Secondary is not as impressive as he expected, Tillery's incident as a Frosh, caving to their critiques, etc. They are also bringing up Declan and Lizzie again, saying ND is a football factory wannabe, and so on. It's pure class....

This would explain the whole photo thread controversy...

I've defended far too many unwoke arguments here to risk face-doxxing myself. Can't afford to put my family at the mercy of the Ministry of Truth.

ND's average test scores are higher than Stanford's, which probably explains their inability to do their homework.

Wow, that place is exactly the pretentious wasteland you would expect from Stanford plans.

Stay home, watch from a distance.

We are 5-1 when I've been in attendance. Only loss was in College Station back in 2001, I believe.

I wish but no. Difference between Stanford & SC is that the Cardinal believe they will win...they won’t quit until the final whistle. SC quit by the end of the ND game last season...just ask Quenten Nelson. They have less talent than last year’s SC team & this year’s ND team but that means nothing to them as Shaw has built a winning culture. An ND blowout win over Stanford would be the 4th most likely option IMO. CBK & ND needs the win...badly.
