    That may be the case with Notre Dame playing Nebraska in the Rose Bowl if all three teams don't lose. I still think though, ND has the best chance to go undefeated.

    Same Here cause I love the Irish but not sure they can trade points with these guys, however anything is possible.

    Go Irish!

    Ohio State probably has a reasonable shot at finishing unbeaten

    even KState

    Ohio State should be ranked #1.

    Irish defense dominates again. 11 and 0. While iit wasn't an opponent quite the caliber that SEVEN SEC teams faced today, (seriously, FCS opponents???) the Irish rolled.

    Meanwhile, Baylor is leaving claw marks on the backside of Kansas State

    Shaping up to be a pretty big night, How cold is Miami in January? Will I be able to wear my speedo?

    Ducks not quite all they were quacked up to be. Good defense beats good offense every time, Even lowly Notre Dame scored more (and gave up less) against Stanford.


    Bring on Bama baby!!!!!!!

    If ND doesn't beat USC next week it will be an all SEC National Championship game. I can't believe I'm going to say this, "Go Irish!"

    A devestating loss for Oregon! Will the Luck of the Irish come into play and lead them to the National Championship????????????????
  • Jesus will have to play QB if they have any chance of beating Bama.
    You'll need Moses in the backfield in order to part the Crimson Sea defense.

    After seeing Oregon lose and K-State getting SMASHED by Baylor its obvious that ND could win without Biblical help!

    ND is capable of winning the Championship as long as their opponent is not from the SEC. Otherwise the SEC Championship game is the real BCS Championship game.

    go irish


    i think with their defense they can play with anyone anywhere. as you have seen alabama, oregon and k st were stopped by solid defenses on the day they lost. nd will showup and play solid if not great defense every game.

    No need to PART their defense. Better to just snap the chinstrap, run right at them, smack them in the mouth, watch the crimson run down their chin, and knock them back flat on their overhyped buttocks!

    I'm a huge Bama fan. However, assuming they play ND in the title game, their defense needs to revert back to early season form. Notre Dame does not need divn intervention. Would be a great game.
  • thenavarrothenavarro Posts: 7,497 ✭✭✭
    One more day to go. I'm ready to see them tee it up against rival USC. My roommate from Notre Dame is going tomorrow. He and I used to go painted up back in the day but I think he's going fully dressed to this one LOL. Maybe if the Irish finish their improbable run tomorrow night, we can meet up and go painted to the BCS Championship game. Their used to be 3 of us that would go to the games that way, but one of the group passed away last year (RIP James, I miss ya Bro!)

    Here we are back in the Fall of 1989. My roommate Eric is the guy on the left, I'm in the middle (about 70 pounds ago) and James is on the right (he would have loved this season)

    LOL. I froze my arse off at ND. I wasn't prepared for the brutal winters at all. I had never been around a place to where when you went outside it was so cold your skin literally hurt. About the only positives for the weather up there is that it really didn't matter how your dates went, the girls always wanted to be close to generate body heat image

    9 more hours. It's going to be a long day waiting on the game to start. At least I can have fun reading posts on the message boards about how bad ND is, and how we'd get kiled by about 70 percent of D1 football teams and by about 37.3 percent of community colleges image

    ND might very well lose tonight, heck, I'll go out on a limb and say about 50 percent of teams that play today wil lose, but they've provided me with a season long feeling of joy each Saturday, and for that I'm thankful for. Hopefully those feelings can continue through January 7th but we will have to wait and see. At this point, it's the proverbial playing on house money. Two more wins and they beat the house. They don't do it flashy, but they do it, and that's the name of the game


    Go Irish! Get it done

    Mike

    In the interim, I'll tune in and cheer on the Wolverines, unlike a lot of fans, I actually root for some of our rivals. Would also make me happy to see FSU thump on the heads of Florida.

    Rally sons of Notre Dame:
    Sing her glory and sound her fame,
    Raise her Gold and Blue
    And cheer with voices true:
    Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
    We will fight in ev-ry game,
    Strong of heart and true to her name
    We will ne'er forget her
    And will cheer her ever
    Loyal to Notre Dame

    Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
    Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
    Send a volley cheer on high,
    Shake down the thunder from the sky.
    What though the odds be great or small
    Old Notre Dame will win over all,
    While her loyal sons are marching
    Onward to victory.

    Nice drive to end the half. Kyle Brindza earning his scholarship so far tonight. Kid has had a rough year at times, nice to see him go 3 for 3 in the first half and capped off with a 52 yarder as time expires.

    Hopefully Golson is ok to go in the 2nd half as our backup has ZERO mobility.

    16 to 10 Irish at half. Defense needs to step it up, they are allowing WAY too many yards and getting no pass rush.

    11 and a half games of the season and it's coming down to the final 30 minutes. Go IRISH! Don't pull a Texas Rangers choke job. image. It's been 24 or so years, the time is NOW

    Thanks MJ. USC field goal makes it a one score game with USC's big play players, I'm not feeling real comfortable right now. Little over 9 minutes to go. Irish need a methodical time burning scoring drive.
