My prediction for tonight's game.

B
I've no prediction, I just want ND to win. I'm thinking of William Wallace in Braveheart.

Men, we've bled together all season. Some of us for decades. 1988 was a long time ago. We've done all the analysis...and cursing each other out.

But what would we give, but just for once chance...just one more chance for a return to glory.

So let's bleed together again 2nite...and hopefully 1 more time a week later! And curse each other out some more!

FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!

CHEER CHEER FOR OLD NOTRE DAME!!!

:D :D :D

PSU QB is the best ND has faced. He is the real deal.

All I know is that every time I watch him, he misses easy throws and looks nothing like the 5 star he is. He’s a good player, but he’s underperformed. He was under 60% last year.

He has a history of not performing well in big games and he has a tendency to miss easy throws. This is a big game and I am not overly worried about him.

Flu

Someone at work got both covid (2nd) and the flu. She said this year's flu was much worse.

Last year's flu kept me in bed for over 48 hours.

I don't know if we will get away with playing like the pinstripe bowl years back. The team looked like it was underwater. After the game Brian Kelly gave the MVP to the staff for helping the team battle the flu.

Reports are false. no flu except for maybe a couple of walk ons that won't even dress

Need to hit him early and often, even if it's not sacks. He likes to take some DEEP DEEP drops to give himself more time.

Stockton was never the same after his long completion when Bowen absolutely crushed him. Stockton had some more completions, but those were more busted plays.

Allar will try to make plays and is good, but he hasn't played a really good defense in over 2 months.

Today's Orange Bowl press conference

LOL, DIP!

You are right about Franklin. I really hadn't watched much of him before the presser, but he struck me as sort of a strange bird. Not sure there was really any bulletin board material in there, but his awkwardness was quite a contrast to Freeman's delivery.

The bulletin board to me was Notre Dame plays a weak schedule though the weakest team on the current schedule was from the B10, and the crying about ND's independence as if it unfair to ghe rest of college football, when in fact the majority of the "Blue Bloods" of college football have the clout but not the balls to do it

You made my point for me. PSU joined the Big 10 due largely, if not solely, to financial considerations. PSU was looking out after its own self interests, as it should. But the reverse is also true. If financial (or any other) considerations dictate that independence is a better thing for ND, why is that any of Franklin's concern? His argument is a bad one. If there comes a time when it will be in ND's best interests to join a conference, I expect it will. But that time isn't here now. And it isn't Franklin's business to preach to us about it.

I didn't make your point for you. I said that's not why they did it. And instead that all PSU needed to was get their courage up, and a little gumption going and make this move and go ahead and join the Big Ten, which they wouldn't regret and would be great for the program, and they weren't really losing a thing, other than being independent, which is really nothing. And they so did and the rest is history. They didn't desperately want to stay independent and they quietly rue the move to this day. They don't regret it, they're happy to be in the Big Ten because it rocks to be in a powerhouse conference, even if it was a big move to make at the time.

I don't know, maybe they lost their rivalry with Pitt. Didn't they used to play every year, I don't remember at all. ND if it joined a conference might lose their rivalry with Navy, which is another totally unbending and defining tradition that is non-negotiable for them. But not USC though, that's convenient.

And I would reject the disingenuous characterization of ND's independence as being in their 'best interests'. It's just what ND likes. If anything it's proven quite an inconvenience to the athletic dept. as a whole. But they're badass enough to thumb their nose at the world. Because they're ND, true CFB royalty. The original blue blood. So don't defend it. And definitely don't present non-conference, nonaligned 'independence' as some obviously preferable and superior arrangement for a sports team to enjoy. That's just sounds odd, and even a little kooky.
