The battle of the Blues and Golds begins in a little over 5 hours. My Samardzija (#83 for the Class of 83) is pressed and ready for action. Of course, its only other game appearance was at Game 1 of our now 7 game losing streak, in the Coliseum against the Trojans last November. Oh well. An anomaly, I'm sure...
The game's on ABC here locally, of course. All you midwesterners are likely to get Ohio State/Purdue. Perhaps our game will be on the Ocho in your local viewing areas.
Will it be a game worth watching? Great questions. As you can imagine, the local papers aren't giving us much chance. Of course they also reference UCLA's rout at the hands of Utah a few weeks ago, so anything's possible.
But 0-8 seems a foregone conclusion in most of the sports world these days. BC is rolling, albeit over Bowling Green, today. SC shouldn't have much trouble with Stanford. Trouble staying under 50, maybe.
I'm certainly not predicting a win tonite. While we're improving, it's not enough, and not soon enough. So we're probably in for another 2 TD loss, say 27-13 or so.
Unfortunately, I can't blog from my Blackberry, so no "from the stands" updates tonite. Sunny and 74 at game time, sliding into the low 60s by game's end. A great night for football.
But will it be a great night for Irish Football???
GO IRISH!!! BEAT BRUINS!!!
