You know the drill. I predict, you mock. GO!
Last Year’s Tale of the Tape:
2 years ago I was baaaaaaaad. This year? Hmmmm…
Predicted Actual
Temple W 27-7 W 49-16 Not bad (1-0)
Georgia L 16-23 L 19-20 Amazing (2-0)
BC W 17-14 W 49-20 Correct but off on score (3-0)
MSU W 26-20 W 38-18 Not bad (4-0)
Miami OH W 38-14 W 52-17 One Score Right! (5-0)
UNC L 28-20 W 33-10 WHOOPS (5-1)
USC L 33-14 W 49-14 SUPER WHOOPS (5-2)
NC State W 27-23 W 35-14 Not horrible (6-2)
Wake Forest W 40-27 W 48-37 Solid (7-2)
Miami W 42-35 L 41-8 UGH SO UGLY (7-3)
Stanford L 27-20 L 38-20 Solid call sad game (8-4)
So I called W/L 8 of 12 and hit some scores really nicely.
And on overall record I called a pessimistic 8-4 and we ran it 9-3. Pretty darn close.
I’ll take it! I’M BACK! And so are the Irish.
TO THE SCALE!
This is just as likely to be wrong as it is to be right (aka the BadKermit Effect)
I’ve got a good feeling, but am leaving myself some wiggle room
This is a lock, I am a genius, I cannot be wrong.
Michigan
Down Go the Skunkbears
So it was supposed to be forever but it was just a few years. Last game was TOOOO SWEET and expect more of the same. Actually, exactly the same. I’m calling repeat!
ND Wins 37-0!
Not Really.
ND Wins 33-17. The Skunkbears ain’t really that good folks.
One Lep Because Wimbush still can’t execute 5 yard passes consistently.
Ball State
ND Wins 52-10
Three Leps. In the can. Not a trap. Etc.
Vanderbilt
Smart kids from the South!
ND Wins 31-20
Three Leps again. Look at all these Dancing Freaking Leprechauns!
Wake Forest
Is this the same game 2 weeks in a row? No? FEELS LIKE IT!
So, same score.
ND wins 31-20
3 Leps dancing’ FTW. We’re 4 and 0!
Stanford
Not 2 years in a row Tree.
ND Wins 20-17
Less Confident here. 1 Lep.
Virginia Tech
Crazy crowd, night game, ND had a rough previous week. We drop our first.
ND Loses 28-20
One Lep. This and last week are toss-ups. But think we’ll go 1-1.
Pitt
Genac This!
ND Wins 33-27
Navy
ND Wins 40-17.
Only 2 Leps because Navy.
Northwestern
They’ll be jazzed. We’ll be bored. It’ll be cold and wet and ugly. Sneak one out.
ND Wins 20-17
Blah. Northwestern. Wake me up when it’s over.
Florida State
Man this schedule gets ROUGH.
ND Loses a tight one 31-27.
2 Leps. We’ve dodged some bullets but struggled against the quality from the South.
Syracuse
ND Wins 52-33
WHOMPING BECAUSE WE ARE ANGRY.
Southern Cal
ND Wraps it Up on a Roll. Wins 28-24
Freaking So Cal gets 1 Lep.
Summary
10-2! Wow that’s optimistic. That’s assuming Wimbush is FIXED as a thrower. And I really don’t know that he is. If he is, we’re gonna be legit. We could make a run. If he’s not, this feels green-colored-glasses and we’ll probably be looking more like 8-4 MAYBE 9-3. But, the Leps have spoken. TO THE STADIUM!!!!! Leps lead the way, GO IRISH!
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.
