OK so I admit that I am uneasy about tomorrow's game and seriously considered predicting a Michigan victory as the week progressed. Hard to tell about Michigan because of their usual early season games against bozo teams from nowhere state schools. They seem to be in the right frame of mind to give the Irish all they handle this year. And one cannot help wondering how many years ND can beat Michigan in a row.
But the breakthrough came today when we realized that exactly 17 years ago (our daughter's birthday) we were anticipating another tough Michigan game. On September 16, 1989 the Irish beat the Wolverines 24-19 thanks to TWO kickoff returns by (guess who) Rocket Ismail. So I am going for the Irish tomorrow in a tight, high scoring game 36-30 for the home team. Should be a great one no matter the score and I will be there. See the Irish offense continuing to improve and challenging a good Michigan D.
How nice to hear from Bill Gergen! I do remember the BDHS school song Billy. A great moment in sports.
Go Irish, Beat Wolverines!
