Notre Dame Football - A New Hope - Page 16 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Meh, there were a whole host of people telling me last week that us beating Michigan was a done deal. Just as everyone assumed Ok St would beat Houston, MSU would beat CMU...etc, etc. You're talking about athletes that aren't fully professional, playing under massive pressure in a veritable goldfish bowl. Sometimes they click it, but when they don't anything is liable to happen.

Until (unless) we're more than three touchdowns up, I won't be relaxing.

I think shortly after their ND meltdown, Mich St broke a record with a comeback win. Unfortunately the glory was dampened by the fact they needed to do it against Northwestern.

Hmmm. Notre Dame up by three TDs. Brings back such happy memories (USC-ND '74). Anthony Davis marching on his knees in the end zone, "J.K. McKay The Coach's Son." Domers getting pancaked the entire second half.

Thanks Lloyd. Not really a big USC fan, but I'm weeping.

Great find! Not a USC or ND fan, but that video was fun to watch. Great choices in music. "Tribute To Troy" is probably the best sideline song in sports. As a Michigan fan, one of the main joys of getting to the Rose Bowl is to hear that epic song. (I realize that USC has to be there for the song to be played but I think it's safe assuming they'll be there most of the time)

Oh lawd. I'm fine with Fight On as fight songs go, but "Tribute to Troy" and "Conquest" should be banned.

Fight On is up there for me with all the great fight songs as far as "giving me the chills" factor. Tribute to Troy is just such an badass song. It's like the music is saying "We're USC. Now you're F**cked!" College football would not be the same without it. "Conquest" does nothing for me so I'm ok with that ban.

There are several great fight songs, and "Fight On" is among them. I find they all get old, eventually.

I'm so torn between wanting ND to win since that will give more evidence to Michigan being good and just rooting for loltastic failure from everyone involved.

I feel the same way. That's the beauty of this game. No matter the result, Michigan fans will be happy.

well, i guess if ND loses by 50, that will make me happy too.

i'm more along the lines of noze right now. if ND wins, it makes Michigan look good. if there is massive fail all-around, it makes for some awesome entertainment.
