Notre Dame Game

I am far from a high roller. Kinda confused how I am in 13.

[UMassNet15]

+1 right here. See you in South Bend.

Well Malik Zaire just broke his ankle.

Puncher's chance!

(Seriously though they've lost their starting QB, RB, and at least one other starter IIRC. I mean we still won't win, but so long as we do better than we did today that's actually OK).

Tickets in hand, White Lot pass in hand, hotels booked, flights booked, rental car booked. Cannot wait for this.

They just lost their starting TE for the year as well, in addition to everything else I mentioned. Probably only increases UMass' chances from 1.2% to about 1.8% but every little bit helps.

Also, we're a pretty big trap game for them. They are playing #14 GT this week and then have to travel to Clemson with us in the middle.

According to their fan base, they also tend to have a real problem historically bouncing back the week after playing a triple option team, which GT is, and GT is the best at that.

So all that would put our chances somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.3%.

Lets hope that we don't get any serious injuries in the Temple game.

Hoping they beat GT and enter their game vs us way too confident. Sadly, I think I'm out in terms of attending. Just too much going on right now to be able to swing it, but maybe I'll make a maniacal decision to rent a car and drive through the night Friday. Doubt it though.

Anything happening Friday night in South Bend? Or will everyone be going to bed early to ensure an on time (8am) tailgate starting time?

My friends and I are in Chicago Friday night coming out early AM. Do we know exactly what time the tailgating starts at ND? We're probably going to be at your tailgate Brian once we get out there.

Also, friendly reminder to all that I picked up from an earlier post in here: South Bend is in the Eastern time zone, Chicago in the Central. If you're staying in Chicago, you lose an hour traveling to ND. Bear that in mind when planning.

I'll be in Chicago Thursday night, more than likely the Cubs game Friday, and then down to South Bend Friday night. The White Lot opens at 8am, so our intentions are to be there to enter at 8am and get going. I have no idea what the parking set up is like in there, so I'll communicate the best I can about location via the board, FB and calls/texts with anyone that needs a location.

I will be in the lot at 8;00, earlier if they allow it. On the advice of my son, we'll be getting in line between 6:30 and 7:00

Yep, we plan to set up with you guys. Joey and I will be in touch as we get closer to coordinate what to buy and contribute.

We're parking in Burke, we'll have to hoof it an meet you all there once we're in.
