We've been waiting so long for football, that I'm firing this game thread up a few hours early.
Make sure you submit your Place Your Bets votes with the season title on the line.
Here's a bunch of pregame coverage from this week in case you missed any of it:
Place Your Bets: Notre Dame vs. South Carolina in Gator Bowl
Analysis: How to watch and what to watch in Notre Dame's Gator Bowl matchup
Small details propel Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt to dominance
Patterson, Irish make a case for why opting in for the Gator Bowl matters
Gator Bowl feels like a blind date with different versions of ND, SC
Gator Bowl injury report: Notre Dame starting DT Jayson Ademilola sidelined
Opponent Outlook: What's left of South Carolina for Gator Bowl?
With ankle pain gone, Howard Cross III wants to end season on high note
Chat Transcript: On Hartman, Buchner, and ND's recruiting lessons learned
Podcast: Aaron Taylor on Notre Dame's Gator Bowl advantage and Sam Hartman

And some game thread rules:
1. Use this thread until the end of the game for ongoing game commentary. We'd like to keep the conversation in one place. If something from the game merits a separate conversation of substance, go ahead and start another thread for that topic. When in doubt, post in the game thread.
2. Criticism of decision-making by coaches and players will be allowed. But avoid making it personal. Don't be malicious. Remember, that person's mother could be reading your post. If you cross the line, you'll lose posting privileges for the day.
3. Don't be a doofus. Have some respect for your fellow subscribers.
