Had a buddy take a stand on the game. What do you think?
I don't post a lot of "opinions" here.... But I couldn't let this one go as I try to get excited for #2 Florida St vs #5 Notre Dame on Saturday night. Thanks to the Winston drama we're not talking about or listening to football. Instead we hear about sexual misconduct, stealing from grocery stores and potentially taking $$ for memorabilia which by the way I think college athletes deserve if they get it. But rules are rules. Both of these quaterbacks, #5's have had their issues but which would you prefer? The one that owned up to his mistake, continued to gain college credit, applied for reinstatement at Notre Dame when he had countless offers to transfer, went to football camp while he sacrificed a year of football eligibility AND asked each player on the Irish for forgiveness and their blessing to rejoin the TEAM. OR the #5 that's put himself before his football team, education, his baseball team, his "university"(if we can still call it that) and the rules. Yes FSU fans, so far he's been found innocent more often than not, but c'mon, where there's smoke there's fire. Everett Golson and Notre Dame have already won Saturday night, despite what the scoreboard says Sunday morning.

I agree, but I am a very devout  fan of Notre Dame football. I hope the scoreboard reflects the choices each have made, but I'm not confident that it will...

I can't stand the Whinin'Irish and their own little cult (which has included the NotredameBroadcastingCompany). I have never rooted for them and I never will.
That said, I won't be upset at all of Florida State loses this weekend. ND can lose later (and should).

They are not the #2 and #5 teams in the country even though the polls say they are.

A classic catholics vs. convicts matchup.
I hate both programs, but for different reasons. I am rooting for the Irish on this one. I agree w/ 4ager on this one - the Irish can lose later . . .

If nothing else, you can hear bag pipes in South Bend, while enjoying a Killian's and a rueben (that's a sammich, by the way)

While I despise FSU, I can't have much love for ND either & it's gotten worse with the little prick Kelley there, & they sure as hell are not the 5th best team in the country.
Reality will likely set in on the scoreboard for ND as they will lose handily.
unless there is divine intervention by the officials..........

I can't stand FSU, and have hated ND all my life. FSU will beat the living piss out of the domers. It'll be over by halftime.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Has ND ever been under rated?
