College football is a crazy world. I just watched West Virginia knock off a Pittsburgh team that was cruising toward a BCS bowl berth. Maybe the Irish will surprise us tomorrow but it is unlikely. Can the players win one for Charlie and earn some kind of decent bowl appearance?
Spread in our paper is Stanford by 10 tomorrow. Feels about right and we enjoy being the underdog again for only the third time this year (we lost the other two while beating the spread). I am calling a repeat on that type of outcome tomorrow. The Irish will make it interesting but not have enough gas in the tank to make it a victory. Expect the Stanford running game to wear down our defense as the game progresses.
We certainly have a chance. If the offense can cash in touchdowns on most drives we could jump ahead and stay there. But I just don't see it happening and Charlie seems to be resigned to his upcoming departure.
Cardinal 35, ND 30
Go Irish!

I hate to think you're right, Don, but you probably are. It would be a big surprise and a nice ending for the season (barring bowl invitation) to see our guys win tonight. I'm sure I'll be up late watching the game.
