PRE GAME Boston College - Notre Dame

[nathans8823]

Might as well get the PRE GAME Thread started since the game is in 2 Days! I expect Notre Dame to win this one. Would really help if they blow them out!

If you read the BC forums, it's pretty obvious that they really don't like Notre Dame. The school, the students, the team or even South Bend (they might have a point on South Bend). They seriously refer to this game as the Holy War and think this might be their biggest rivalry game. I don't know of anyone at ND wo would consider BC to be our top rival, or number two, or even three.

But if you want to piss off a BC fan, try this - What do all BC students have in common with all ND students? They all applied to ND.

It's true, I've heard that term used before. I just don' know wha we did?! Jealousy?

I don't think they're considered our top rival, that should be USC and they exchange the Jeweled Shillelagh, with Michigan State you have the Megaphone Trophy, and Stanford has the Legends Trophy, and Boston College has the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl and the Ireland Trophy. Two trophies for one game... perhaps that rises BC to #2 or #3?

The jealousy goes back to Frank Leahy. BC claims its only national championship in 1940 (or something like that) in Leahy's last year, and then Leahy left BC under strange circumstances to come to ND. Then at ND he won 4 national championships. So a guy who only coached 2 years at BC is universally considered the best coach in their history, and they blame ND for stealing him.

Yes ND wins and I hope we in by 21-35 points. We need style points. Put your foot on the gas all the way through. Close or struggle win i can see us dropping 1 spot.

Prediction: ND 38 BC 17(late TD at the end).

Yeah they are like our little brother. This game is always their super bowl. I would go 1) USC, 2) Mich 3) MSU 4)Navy 5) BC or stanford. 6)Stanford or BC

I despise BC because their biggest achievements are spoiling other people's seasons. Think about it, what's the biggest play in school history? Flutie's Hail Mary against Miami. The 93 game is considered the high water mark too. They lack any real football culture of their own.

Add to the fact they had a long run during arguably the worst stretch in ND's history and they start acting like they've arrived.

Some douchey BC student made that ND real men of genius video as if they've achieved something other than schadenfreude.

Only thing to do is beat the smug out of them.
