This hope/sentiment is just about as dumb, regardless of what they do with a flag, lol.

Act like you've been there is a Dumb sentiment ?????

Then again, if you Haven't ...

Notre Dame came to Play tonight

ND has won 27-17 & will face UGA in Quarterfinals @ Sugar Bowl on 1/1.

IU has won 27-17 & will face UGA in Quarterfinals @ Sugar Bowl on 1/1.

You mean Notre Dame won 27-17 ....

Fwiw, it wasn't that close.

ND had the 2nds in around the beginning or the first part of the 4th quarter.

It was 27-3 at one time.

 

[lordodogg]

Yeah sorry about that mistake. I was hoping IU would win

If you haven't then... what? See? It's just stupid chest thumping to justify one thing while decrying the alternative. Both sides are stupid.

We were highly annoyed with ESPN for keeping Leonard from his final chance to participate in the "Hail to Notre Dame" song with the rest of his Irish teammates.

Props to the IU Defense for keeping the game close for most of the first three quarters. Notre Dame’s kicker had some success for a change, but when they blocked ND's final Field Goal, that seemed to deflate the Irish Spirit. IU went on to march down the field, score a touchdown, get the 2-point conversion, recover the onside kick, and get another touchdown. The ND defender who deflected the pass inches from the IU receiver during the last 2-pt attempt sealed ND's victory. ND recovering the 2nd onside kick allowed the Irish an "ugly" win and the right to play #2 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.

Notre Dame will need to bring a much better game if they’re going to have a chance against the Bulldogs on New Year’s day.

We were hoping for a lot more snow, too, but they got just a few flakes. I was keeping an eye on the radar and there were snow bands coming in from the Lake, but they didn’t amount to much. A couple of friends got tickets to the game and were getting a little nervous in those final four minutes.

We were at a party three miles from the stadium, but far enough away that the traffic wasn’t bad after the game. Mrs. Foxbat, who works downtown, said the traffic headed north to the stadium and the tailgate parties was pretty heavy when she came home around three. Foxbat, Jr., arrived from the Indy area Thursday night and was surprised by the number of cars on US 31 coming north with him. He heard from one of his friends that traffic was even heavier Friday, so he was glad he came up when he did.

The local ND bar, Corby's, had been reserved by the IU Alumni Association and was a sea of Crimson Thursday night. Made the local news. IU has a campus in South Bend, so this playoff game was a huge financial boost for South Bend and Michiana; lots of IU grads in our area.

There aren’t a lot of firsts at Notre Dame. This was one of them

Wow! That doesn't appear to be just one or two people, it's the whole freaking team! Someone needs to be penalized over this and it comes on the Ohio State watch. Maybe playing home games is a bad idea for some locales?

 

[Howard Simmons]

I agree. This shouldn't have happened. It showed no class by the Buckeyes. It's the way society is today fueled by the media and the web.
