People really think ND can beat USC. It's been in the news, online and even my son came home from high school saying all his friends are backing ND today. Now, I don't know where they're getting the info, because (sorry, Godfather) I'm just hoping that we don't get embarassed today. Still, I also have a glimmer of hope that we can beat them. It certainly may be helpful that the weather is chilly, but then again last fall, it snowed like crazy and Syracuse (plays in a dome team) came out into the cold and pulled off the upset.
On a more positive note, I get the impression that the students including the players are getting a more intense outlook on competition. I remember the underlying feeling of competitiveness at ND, no matter what we were doing. It was pretty intense, and a few years back, I had the feeling that this drive was missing. If the atmosphere is changing back toward that competitive feeling, then it could make all the difference.
I'm steeling myself against the irritation of listening to that dumb USC band that can only play 8 or 10 notes, over and over again!
Go Irish! USC 31, ND 33 (out on a limb in spite of my misgivings)
