Okay, Loyal Readers, by now you know the drill. Use the Google Form found here in order to enter. Pick the winner, score (we’ll do the spread and over/under work for you), bet on the prop, and give us some funny/insightful notes. Points are awarded for everything and even if you miss a week, trust me, you still have a chance at internet glory.
It’s been a couple weeks, but before we get to the standings, let’s see the game notes and whether or not any of you earned bonus points.
Surely Golson just wanted to get all of his turnovers out of his system before this game…right? RIGHT? PLEASE GOD BE RIGHT?
/assumes fetal position with bourbon bottle until kickoff – NDEddieMac
The only thing right here was the fetal position and bourbon.
Same score as 1993!!! – uscsucks
Only in reverse and with three less points for the loser 🙁
There will be some maddening mistakes made by both teams, but an instant classic. I predict lots of alcohol. And Fireball shots after the game (we only do Fireball after a W). -NDClock
Look we were at the gamewatch together, let’s be honest about what happened. There was massive celebration followed by massive rage once we all figured out there was a flag. I don’t think this stopped the alcohol or the shots*.
*I may not remember though because I was hammered.
For one game, Jameis and I will share something in common: Men of few (coherent) words: F— the ‘Noles. – @IrishMoonJ
But dey skrong doe.
Despite the looming threat of his campus hearings, Jameis Winston gets caught stealing an orca from the Tampa SeaWorld and also having the rotting corpse of Jimmy Hoffa in his dorm room. Florida State, despite the magnitude of the game against Notre Dame, does the right thing and benches him for a series. But then they find out that he sang the South Park “Uncle F____” song and, with little choice, sits him for the entire game. Everett has several moments of #Golsoning but Notre Dame avoids #Clemsoning and nails down the thrilling victory . . . only to be jumped by three SEC teams, several high-school powerhouses, and Marshall.
Next week, even though it’s listed as an off-day on the schedule, Notre Dame travels to Chestnut Hill and beats the holy crap out of Boston College anyway, just because. – irishmikecomedy
Dear sir, I have a point. This point is yours. Take it and cherish it for this work of art.
Dude, I don’t know. There’s not enough bourbon in Vegas to calm my nerves right now. – stogiesnbeer
Most accurate prediction in this entire exercise. Point!
Fuller runs by former ND commit Darby and says, “I’m 99% committed to scoring two touchdowns, and Dion sanders tackles better than you.”
Golson gains 25+ on a designed qb draw and actually slides at the end of it instead of diving and fumbling.
Jameis has nightmares of Jones, Jaylon and Day dressed in Publix security uniforms chasing him and says “you’re too skrong! I’m sorry I won’t steal no more. Want an autograph?” – @egvvnd
So not only is this absolutely hilarious, it’s surprisingly accurate. This is a well earned bonus point.

We should’ve known something weird was going to happen when my cat, Gulliver, picked ND for a change. He now moves to 1-6 straight up, but is now over .500 against the spread with a 4-3 record. Let’s see if things get back to normal this week:
Somehow, this is strangely comforting.
