    If this game happening is what it took to bring Aeroforz1 back, then something good has at least come from it.

    All I gotta say is lol if ND think they can sandbag near as good as this Penn State TMB contingent

    Our sandbag game is so strong we just made Georgia feel respected for the first time in years.

    I think James Franklin in a big game < Freeman but anything can happen. I just know Penn State looked like they were playing not to lose by a lot when they played OSU, rather than win the fucking game. And scared money don’t make money.

    I think ESPN decided to move the game today to 4pm so they wouldn’t have to move the Orange Bowl.

    The move today allows ND to travel home tonight and immediately get to work tomorrow. A travel day tomorrow would’ve truly messed up scheduling.

    not sure how OSU can accuse PSU fans of “sandbagging” when PSU loses every time they play.

    it’s not sandbagging, it’s being right.

  13. ND had lost every single type of game like this since the original Jurassic Park came out, I think 30 years of ineptitude brings about trepidation

  16. Ya and that is cool, I will not sandbag this upcoming game* (pending status on Jeremiyah Love and Howard Cross). I think ND has a great shot to win against PSU. Seems like a 50/50 matchup.

    Often times it's something to the tune of "we don't have a chance, OSU 69 PSU 0" when you know better.

    You guys are good at sandbagging, far better than ND fans, take the compliment.

    What is wrong with your brain?

    My opinion of him is that he's an excellent recruiter and a mediocre game day coach. The same thing your fans said about him until November.

    We've been informed by Sean McDonough that the SEC champions are not a good Georgia team. We continue to get lucky with our schedule. Thankfully, there are no MAC schools in the final 4.

    Feel like last night was a huge emotional release for the players and coaches, it’s going to be hard to get up for another important game after that, and this has been a theme during Freeman’s tenure. Play great away against Ohio St, lose Marshall. Big comeback win against Duke, lose to Louisville. Huge win on the road at A&M, lose to NIU.
