I have to say....I think SC wins this one.
time: 6pm MT
venue: Coliseum
line: ?
thoughts:
notre dame has played garbage teams since getting wasted by michigan. USC's defense will be, possibly, the best they face all year and USC's offense should be able to take some momentum from the last two big wins against Cal and Oregon.
prediction:
Southern Cal 35
notre dame 17
I have to say....I think SC wins this one.
...well don't be too hard on yourself. it's cause you're smart.
Are you serious????If USC DOES win, it will be by 10 pts or less.
yeah, USC just held Cal to 9 and notre dame's offense is marginally better than theirs while notre dame's defense is not very good.
35-17 USC
I think that ND's offense is more than just marginally better than Cal. Since I am a notre dame fan and will be at the game I am going to pick the upset in a shootout.
ND 45
USC 42
I just can't believe I will be there. JGW I am assuming you have been to a game at the colisuem, How is it?
i have been to about 10 games there total, i suppose. i would go whenever i did not have a rugby conflict.
i think you will have a great time! i am jealous you are going. as for the coliseum?...well i think its a grand place, all kinds of fans, thats for sure. its kind of hard to answer that question...what stadiums have you been to before?
i think kyle field is louder and probably has "better" fans, but the coliseum is a special place, no doubt, and the fact that you are going to be there for notre dame...it should be INSANE!
It should be a great game. I don't think USC is a lock but I like them at home.
I went to the game in 2000 and I saw George Wendt. He was cool but a little disappointed that the Irish lost. Trojan Fans were yelling Rudy is a after the game which I thought was pretty funny.
what do you want to know? i've only missed one home game since the 2000 season.
Thanks for the info. I have been to quite a bit of A and M and UT games. I went to ND and Michigan at the Big house, but was sitting in the ND section. ON Saturday I will be sitting in USC section since the guy I am going with is USC alum. I heard that if can take the talking that the USC fans are great to be around. I am fully prepared to be bombarded with trash talking espcially if ND is losing, but I think that is what makes the games fun.Am I being mislead? should I expect to get beat to for wearing a ND jersey?
thats a good prediction. i flirted with 35-21, and that should probably have been my guess. but i'll stick with 35-17...i think the USC defense is going to really give nd some trouble.
not to mention Pete Carroll is 19-0 in November for a reason.
I wish to God ND winws this, just so the BCS is ed
University of South Central 42
Not Worth a Dam 28
you'll be fine as long as you're not obnoxious. every nd game i have been to has been fine. of course, you could get stuck by the obnoxious drunk, but otherwise you'll be fine as long as you are not too outspoken. the trash talking is harmless since most of the bad stuff is saved for ucla and cal. enjoy your time. stop by alumni park if you don't have anything else to do.
yeah....now thats a damn prediction! , FIGHT ON Bro!
EDIT: p.s. thats the USC vs. notre dame average score the last 4 years (is that right)...in case some of you are wondering.

read that.
How does it ruin the BCS? Michigan is in by default if USC loses to ND. ND has no chance of making the national championship game.
i know, thats the funny thing. apparently people don't realize...if USC loses then Michigan is in. there's only two possibilities people...
If Florida wins out, i don't see why USC is a lock over Florida.
For BC$ t.v. ratings, yes i see why.
Wouldn't you longtime USC-Notre Dame watchers say throw out the "favorite" le? Ie last year. It took a greasy illegal Bush Push to get SC past ND.
Imagine if USC beats ND then chokes to UCLA.![]()
College football needs a playoff in the worst way. An 8 team one. Even a 4 team one would settle a lot.
