Is there any way ABC can run more commercials? Seriously, just show commercials and leave 15 minutes and just give us highlights of the game.

Notre Dame just doesn’t know how to demolish weaker teams and this hurts 2 ways–1- ranking in polls and 2- not getting the backups any serious experience. It, right now hurts Manti in the Heisman race–tough enough as a defensive player and even with 6 picks if he had a few td’s as the result it would help his cause. Needs unbelievable next 2 games.

We have 2 games left and we will need blowouts against Wake and USC to have any hope of playing for the championship. And we have to get it THIS year–we lose too many seniors for 2013 to be the year.

Consider Defense–we lose Te’o, Kap Moore, Zeke Motta,Kona Schwenke probably Slaughter and the possibility of Louis Nix declaring early–could also lose Calabrese and Fox although I think they return.

Offense–Line–Golic and Cave definitely, Zack Martin ans Chris Watt possibly. That leaves only 1 starting lineman returning and the backups have no experience. Riddick gone and I think Wood goes also. Eifert gone and a handful of others who have had a lot of experience–that’s why it has to be this year.

It is just too damn hard to get this close. We have to roll the next 2 games and just hope KSU or Oregon lose a game.

Getting back to the BC game–ho-hum for all 4 quarters–the ND players just going thru the motions and with Wake at 5-5 probably a similar outing. Then USC–how the hell do we outscore them–Barkley to Lee all day.. ND just has to get some real fire–that’s just 2– 60 minute opportunities for a chance of a lifetime.

All you need to know about the BC game–see Irish Connection videos.

Before I comment on this game I have to vent a little on the disaster that occurred here in NJ as well as NY. No preparation at all by US, State or local Govt’s. This whole situation is being run as if the US is a 3rd World country.

You should see this fucking place–many still without power and utilities a fucking mess plus no gasoline!!! The great guys from all over the country who came here get my special thanks, think it was a crew from Georgia that got my power back after 6 days–thanks guys. But just 2 blocks away–still out of power, know why–no telephone poles and crews from all over the country just standing around and can’t do anything. No fucking telephone poles–you gotta be kidding me–is this the US???

Fucking idiot awards:

1. Obama, election photo op.
2. Christy all mouth and fat ass.
3. Napalitano Homeland Security–clueless.
4. Cuomo NY–all mouth.
5. Nanny Bloomberg-totally clueless but has banned 16 oz sodas–so he’s really on top of things.

Had to vent–just be aware any disaster anywhere in the US–you are on your own.

Now onto Boston College. Head Coach Spaziano will be gone at end of season. They have just 2 wins–so it looks like we will just roll them. If ND shows up like the Pitt game we are in trouble. BC is not at all in awe of ND nor it’s super stars, they know they can win if they just play tough and out physical ND–they have done it before. Night game, National TV, At Home, Nothing to lose and win one for Coach Spaz will make BC tough to beat–it’s cold up here also.

BC offense led by QB Chase Rettig 6’3″ sr. who can pass–441 yds against Miami in opener. He has good receivers WR’s Amidon and Bobby Swigert. TE Chris Pantale 6’6″ 255. If Rettig is hot-watch out. Believe game plan for them–out physical ND, get ahead by passing and make ND play catch up.

On defense, they have a really good MLB in Nick Clancy 6’3″ 232 and they have coach Spaz, who is an excellent D coach–they will load the box,blitz and make Golson beat them on the run–just like Pitt but I believe the BC guys are tougher than Pitt, so that’s a problem right there. WATCH OUT for ND injuries in this game.

For ND, Golson will never get the playbook so just let him run around sandlot style–that’s all he knows and in my opinion all he will ever be–sandlot. I hope to Christ someone is working with Kiel.

I think BC QB Rettig lights ND up and ND blows a lot of opportunities making this a close game that is settled in 4th quarter.

Notre Dame 27 BC 21

Before looking at BC, I am happy to report that 2013 ILB recruit Alex Anzalone has reconfirmed he is going to ND and will enroll in January. That’s the good news–the bad is that OT Tate Nicols career is probably over.

Final note on Pitt game. After watching that game I really don’t think ND can beat any team currently in the top 10. We would score 0 points on Alabama this year and probably 0 points next year.

Now BC–this will probably be Head Coach Frank Spaziani’s last year. His 4 year record as HC is 22-26 and he is 2-6 this year having beaten just Maine and Maryland. So you would think they have no chance against ND–think again, they harbor an undying hatred of ND( since we stole Frank Leahy away) and they will kill themselves to win this televised night game at Chestnut Hill.

This stadium and their fans will rain down venom as well as beer on the ND players and you would be hard pressed to find one sober fan in the stadium.

They really have nothing to lose and want this game for coach Spaz who has been there forever as an asst. coach and then head coach. He also is one of the finest guys in college football and a hell of a defensive coach–bet he enjoyed the ND-Pitt game to further his own game plan.

Need I add that it will be freezing at 8 PM.

BC was competitive against Miami earlier this year, losing a high scoring game and BC has a very good QB. Game has all the makings of an upset.
