Fun post, Marco! I suspect Jvan needs a little break anyway (I know I do). While I'm not taking WSU for granted, I could use a few ND football related laughs given the events of the last few weeks.

If we do not trounce them, all our wins become flukes.

And if (heaven forbid) we lose, it's Syracuse/08 all over again and the floodgates will burst.

Good thing its Halloween, because this game spooks me.

For media, WSU players and fans, and folks on this board, remember that this is humor, so don't take it so seriously. Although I'd love to see the NCAA take action against Michigan and USC, we all know that is the most outlandish prediction that Marco has made. 😉

Seriously, I think the line of 28-29 points is too much. They have a QB who can throw the ball, so they'll likely put some points on the board. Additionally, Charlie never runs up the score (he had the chance in '05 and '06).

WSU is kind of where we were at in '07. I read an article that says they start 10 freshmen. My expectation is that they'll play their "A" game. They've got nothing to lose and plenty of incentive to show up ND.

If this was a narrow victory, we would drop out of the rankings. I expect that we don't cover the spread, but we win by 2-3 TD's.

Go Irish!
Go NDChooChoo!!!
