Ohio State vs. Notre Dame - Fiesta Bowl (01/01/16)

  • ernest_t_bass
    I, for one, am glad OSU did not go to the Rose Bowl to play Stanford, and will get the shot at shutting up Notre Dame fans all over the nation. From the moment we lost to MSU, this is the matchup I (as a fan) wanted to see the most. Stanford interested me 0%.

    Discuss.

    Why is this a 1 PM start time?
  • ernest_t_bass
    I would assume b/c of the Rose and Sugar.
  • Mulva
    Was it an afternoon game last year? Curious if it's a set time, if they rotate, or if somehow the Ole Miss/Oklahoma State game was deemed more fitting for prime time.

    Regardless, OSU by 14.

    Don't be silly, OSU and ND fans never shut up about anything ever

    Rose and sugar are locked into their times. The other 4 bowls rotate.

    ND sucks. This will be a blow out.

    Problem is ND will take this game seriously whole OSU knows they blew a whole season and should be in the playoffs. I can't blame them really - these other bowl games are worthless and don't mean squat. Hopefully when they finally do expand to 8 teams these other bowl games will die out.

    As terrible as it sounds, this was the only matchup I was going to be excited for if it happened. Can't wait to see this game.

    I agree on that.

    Which sideline? He's not related to Brian, as shocking as that must be sharing a common surname.

    ND has never beaten OSU since facemasks became mandatory. If Urbie can somehow tap into the legacy of both these great football programs to motivate this bunch of underachievers, we mught have a chance. But I doubt it.

    Prediction: Some notable OSU player(s) will be suspended prior to the game because bacically they didn't GAF all year.

    You talk as though OSU has been the first program in history to have a really good team that happened to lose a game.

    Still pissed about the MSU loss and "what could have been."

    If no playoff, this is the match up I wanted.

    I'm hoping for a similar performance as the '06 Fiesto Bowl.
  • ernest_t_bass
    I'm already hearing all the Notre Dame "fans" talk about, "Big deal! We're not a fully healthy team. QQ"
  • rrfan
    Urban will have his hands full to get these kids up and ready to go. If that happens I feel really good about this game. I like the matchup because outside of the SEC I hate ND the most!

    ND fans are the worst.

    Full strength or not, no fucks given. Beat their ass and I'm happy.
