Go Irish!!!
Well, today is the big game. Notre Dame Fighting Irish are taking on the Buckeyes of Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
This should be a great game. Both teams well coached and equally talented. The deciding factor will be who wants it more. I think that goes to my Irish.
You see, Coach Weis has done a great job in restoring our confidence. There is a swagger in our step again. A cockiness that has been missing. Now - we just need to break this post season losing streak and it is official. The Irish are BACK!!
And I believe that will happen today. I believe it enough that I took RedNeck's bet. 3 days - complete control of the other's blog. Three days - and he's called for creative reinforcements!! YIKES!! But that's ok. I'm not toooo worried. I believe in my boys.
It's going to be a good game. It's should be a close game. If it's a blowout it's because someone just didn't show up - and I don't see that happening with this match up. But I really think the Irish want it more - and that will be the difference.
However - that being said - I'm not taking any chances. I'll do my normal "rituals", being superstitious works for me sometimes. I'll light the candles (even though I'm not even remotely Catholic). I'll do what ever I need to do to help. Hell, if I could be there handing out Gatorade I would! I believe in my team, I have faith in them, but damn it this is my BLOG we're talkin' about now!!!! This is serious!!!
So - GO IRISH!!! Kick some Buckeye ass!!! It's time to show 'em who we are!!!!!
Well, I hope your team at least does good. I can't wish one team to win or lose as I'm on the fence. I'd like you to win, but I'd like to see what he does to this blog as well.
I'm so torn.

Damn man. Just damn. I'm lookin' forward to the game myself. As for the "want it more theory", sorry Tammi, I'm not buyin' that one. There's plenty of boys on that team(Buckeyes), that already feel like they pee'd all over Buckeye Nation by losin' early to Texas in a close game, and then again, away, in "Happy Valley". Just what in the hell is so happy about that valley?
I think both teams want it bad. Some seniors on the Buckeye's have a National Championship ring that wasn't earned on their watch, and they know what it means to want it, and to lose a big game. I don't think that's gonna happen today, hence the bet. But, should they... well hell, momma told me not to gamble. ;)
Posted by: RedNeck at January 2, 2006 10:53 AMGood luck Tammi. I'm rooting for the Irish. I really think they're going to win. Besides, I want to see 'Neck's site redecorated... it could use a woman's touch. Nay it needs it!
But in the event they don't win... back up all your files. That way you can simply replace all of them and rebuild with very little down time on saturday. Believe me, from the look of his place you won't like anything they'll do to it.
