    No need to play this game since we have comparative scores from the regular season.

    Same thing I say in the B1G thread every big game. We lose these games. As an underdog James Franklin never wins. We will lose close. It’s what we are. herb.burdette tries to hype us up every year for the annual Ohio state let down and wonder why we aren’t excited about our team. It’s not even sandbagging. It’s just what the program is.

    We had an uncommon opponent previously whose program is the biggest bully in college football but their fans act like the little sisters of the poor. We feel ready for this one

    UPDATE 9 P.M. ET THURSDAY: With 90 minutes to marinate tonight, The SuperBook moved Notre Dame from -1 to -1.5 in the College Football Playoff odds for the semifinals. That's in slight contrast to spread play so far.

    "We got a couple small bets on Penn State spread," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "But we've got more action on the moneyline than on the spread. There's more money on Penn State and more tickets on Notre Dame.

    "I think we'll see good two-way on this game, with two popular teams. We might not know who we really need until kickoff."

    The total quickly slid from 48.5 to 47, with stops at 48/47.5 along the way. Degnon said there were some small bets on the Under, but nothing too significant.

    UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Notre Dame (13-1 SU/12-2 ATS) earned a spot opposite Penn State in the Orange Bowl. The Fighting Irish stifled Georgia throughout tonight's Sugar Bowl, winning 23-10 as 1-point favorites.

    Along with its defense, a huge key for Notre Dame was Jayden Harrison's 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half. That put the Irish up 20-3, which proved insurmountable.

    Notre Dame heads to the semis on a 12-game SU tear and has cashed in its last 10 games. Penn State is 6-1 SU/5-2 ATS in its last seven games.

    DraftKings Sportsbook opened the Fighting Irish -1.5 in College Football Playoff semifinal odds. The total opened at 47.5. There's no movement yet on the spread or total.

    I would make a joke about something happening to both teams, but that is probably frowned upon with the current circumstances in this country.

    at the risk of forgetting someone, I think we’re guaranteed to have the first black coach to play for the national championship.

    Bullshit. You made a joke that was an obvious reference to an attack that killed a lot of people and wished it on a bunch of kids. Then doubled down with "lol."

    Seriously, read your original post again and realize what you were suggesting.
