Hopefully, I'll use the same headline after the game.
Don, I dont' think we'll crack the top 10 this week unless we win 70-0. I don't see anyone in the AP ahead of us losing. Only team ahead of us in Coaches' Poll to lose will be Iowa to Ohio State. And even if Iowa were to pull off the upset, we wouldn't move ahead of OSU. So, I think we'll stay right about where we are.
That being said, I'm looking for last week's 4th quarter momentum to carry us to a more or less easy win. I think the fans will be up today, cheering the team for their comeback last week, and remembering how dead things were against UofM.
THE BIG KEY: 1st Quarter Offense. Even against Penn State we started slow; our deluge began in the latter part of the second quarter. The "scripted offense" needs to script a few TDs early today, let the fans have a good time.
I still don't feel like the defense has a personality I can warm up to yet. Charlie needs to recruit some real studs whose names we'll remember between games without using our team rosters. Other than poor Mike Richardson, shortest 5'11" guy I've ever seen. He's just bad, I'm sorry to say.
Once again, I'll be watching on tape delay--church family function from noon to 3, right on top of the game. Cheer loud, take good notes, blog away. I'll watch the game late this afternoon PDT and report back tonite.
FINAL SCORE: IRISH 38 PURDUE 17
GO IRISH!! BEAT BOILERMAKERS!!

Hey Godfather ;)
Weather.com shows a line of showers and possible t-storms headed your way -- but it's moving southeast, so the worst of it may just miss ND. Good luck!
The band show online was pretty good. The band is full of musicians, and it will be a lot of fun to see them in rehearsal next week.
Walked in from taxi-mom errands to see the Irish go up 24-17, so I really don't have a good feel about the game yet. More later
