One can imagine the glee of Notre Dame and Ohio State athletic leaders planning the announcement of next decade's home/home series just a few days before the "last" game in our Michigan series. Subtitles may have included "we decided to play the good Big Ten team" or "No room for Wolverines but plenty of space for Buckeyes" or something of that nature. It was becoming a bit tiresome to hear Michigan folks whine about ND leaving them on the heap of scheduling conflicts as if they had no concept of the new reality in college football. Now the key is to send them packing with a big loss to remember forever. There have been many great games in the series but it is time to move on and play Texas and Georgia and yes, Ohio State.
Emotions are high on both sides and the hype of our annual home night game adds some additional drama to today's contest. Both teams are coming off easy blowouts but the Irish are ranked and favored by about 4 points. My most trusted insider at ND feels we are going to win big and perhaps because I want it to be true I am going to predict the same. Expecting a lot of points but hopefully a little more consistency from our defense today. I am really sick of making every Michigan QB look like a star when they play us.
So today Golson raises his Heisman status and leads us to a big win under the lights. Will be a pleasantly cool evening perfect for football and it looks like the Navy precision parachute team (why does the Navy need parachutes?) will be the featured pre-game entertainment.
ND 35, Michigan 24
GO IRISH!
