Preview: University of Southern California Trojans v Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Anyway, all, if you love Fighting Irish Football, you are welcome members of the family. Without our "subway" alumni, we would be a pretty small group. Fanmanship is a an admixture of legend, myth, fact, and a whole lot of emotion. Go Irish!

seamusmoore, what is your deal with the SAT score comment? Was yours quite high? Back a long time ago SATs were called the College Boards. Is that pretty much the same thing? I heard that the tests are a bit easier any scores under the old system would have to be adjusted upward by, I believe, 25 points. That would be nice.

haikued2..polish sausage sandwiches and Vodka? Man does that sound good. I grew up in the Polish section of South Bend and love good polich sausage sandwiches with kluski noodles. Well done.

Would love to have them in a West Coast venue for a bowl game, but will settle for Poinsettia Bowl, Navy vs SDSU.

I will take a win over USC over any bowl game. More meaning in the long term. 43-34-5.

Hey, 20-16 is a Win too for us. Had a house full of Irish and Trojan fans for the game with Polish sausage sandwiches, my daughter in law is from Poland, twin two year old grandbabies who do pushups when we score and dance around yelling Go Irish, some great Polish Vodka, and a whole lot of back and forth. Good Win. AND Seamusmoore...not sure if you are alumnus or not, but Sean does his best. Who cares if he doesn't get it quite right all the time.

You fellas should have learned by now that anything that you read on here about Notre Dame is usually factually wrong. The only thing that most of those who write about Notre Dame on this website know about it is that they couldn't get in there if you tripled their SAT score (sample of Sean O Shea's literary genius)

BCS bowl........you and notre shame wish!!!

Notre Dame may be part of the BCS, but it did not qualify for a BCS Bowl. It will not be making an appearance in the Fiesta, Rose, Sugar or Orange bowls, which are the official BCS bowls. All other bowls, which sanctioned by the NCAA and open to BCS teams, are not part of the BCS scheme and are controlled by conference tie-ins.
