I agree. I'll be rooting like hell for Notre Dame. I think this is probably USC's most loseable game for the rest of the season, and Notre Dame will probably drop at least one later in the season. Besides, if Notre Dame does lose (as they most likely will), it won't be that bad of a downer.
If ND wins this game (as I certainly hope they do), they'll almost certainly lose their next game. Can you imagine the hangover after beating what some douchebags are heralding at the greatest CFB team of all time?
That's the way I've known it to work for the last couple of years. However, since Notre Dame is not part of a conference, maybe the rules are different? I don't know if Notre Dame, Army, or Navy are held to that rule since ALL of their home games are 'OOC' games.
no doubt, ND has had this game circled on their calender for all spring and summer. After i think 3 stright 31 point point defeats, they will definitely come out strong and with a vengeance. I could really care less how ND plays the rest of the season, just as long as they win this game
Its kinda like choosing between Satan and the Devil. No good can come of either one winning. And in this case, there is no lesser of two evils. And for another thought, the most overused word in football today, SWAGGER. If I have to hear about ND having its swagger back or USC and its swagger. o: o: o:
I think this is USC toughest test to date. On the road and the crowd is going to be juiced. I think ND has to play a ball control game and keep USC offense off the field. They will need a few USC turnovers and will have to play one of the best games but i think it is possible for them to beat USC. USC drops out of the running for Rose Bowl after their second defeat later in the year. I dont want USC or Va. Tech to win it. If LSU cant i just dont want one of those 2.
I see what SabanFan is saying but my intense hatred for USC and Petey is so strong I have to pull for Notre Dame. I do believe if ND wins they will drop another game this season. Gotta go with the leprechauns on this one.
i have a mancrush on charlie weis. I am openly hoping they sodomize the bathouse gang. on second thought, petey & co. would enjoy that. nevermind. Still, I think the irish gets killed. they have no defense. if Charlie Weis pulls this off they should replace touchdown jesus with his likeness.
