NCAA like to let the good times roll until they stumble a bit. Thats when they get tough, after it matters.


More upsetting - You're going to see about 30,000+ Michigan

This will be a warmup game for Alabama along the lines of Troy, Mercer or Louisiana-Lafayette. The Irish will treat the contest as an opportunity to prepare for the Ivy League season that will commence with the following week's showdown against Princeton.

You’d have said the same exact thing about Georgia fans last year and that turned out just great. If ND isn’t regarded as a great team going into that game the sea of crimson will be overwhelming.
