Staff Predictions: Notre Dame
/Tuba:
Tuba once ranted and hinted at racism in South Bend while picking apart Charlie Weiss's contract. And his prediction for tomorrow...
Michigan 31 - Notre Dame 20
Johnny Cleveland:
First, I give you Johnny's Notre Dame preview from 2006. Then I give you his prediction for tomorrow:
Michigan 21 - Notre Dame 13
The Webmaster:
My recap of last year's loss. And my prediction for tomorrow...
Michigan 17 - Notre Dame 13
Theme Revealed: 9/7 Notre Dame
/President Brandon will attempt to recapture the atmosphere from the glorious night that happened just two years ago as we bid adieu to (The Chickens of) Notre Dame and the series that has kept us from having a cool home-at-home for the better part of 25 years.
Who am I kidding? We're not scheduling anything cool. We need more home games against conferences you have to look up on the internet! Feed the machine. Feed the machine. Feed the machine.
9/7/2013 Notre Dame
Kickoff: 8pm
Theme: Catfish, Smoke, and Pickles
They say you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning, so yes, this tailgate will start in the morning. It's gonna be a long one. Frydaddy Frank left me a voicemail that said Reuben Egg Rolls will be making a triumphant comeback. I'm not sure if he was drunk, but I plan to hold him to it. That will be lunch I think. Dinner will have a fried catfish component and a moment of silence for Lennay Kukua. Also, I'm really in to this cookbook by Edward Lee. He has this restaurant in Louisville where he adds Asian influences to Southern cooking. I'm not saying that there's going to be any Asian influenced Southern food, and I guess I'm also not saying that there's not. What I am saying is that the name of the book is Smoke and Pickles, which I find to be a novel concept. There will be some smoked stuff (smoked brisket breakfast hash?) and some pickled stuff (fried pickles?, bloody marys?).
Anyway, bring your invisible girlfriend and come on down. We'll be there from dawn til dusk til dawn.

What's Up This Weekend? Taste it again for the Third Time Edition
/Tonight (Friday 2/8/13):
- Ice Hockey (7-13-2, 10-16-2) at #12 Notre Dame (12-7-1, 16-11-1): Your fair Wolverines have moved out of the basement and up to an 8th place tie with Bowling Green in the CCHA standings...yet the Wolverines 96 goals-against leads the league (in the bad way). Notre Dame is in third place in the conference and #12 nationally, but is coming off a win-less weekend in Columbus. Puck drops at 7:35pm in South Bend. It's live on your TV if you have the CBS Sports Network. Live audio lives here.
Tomorrow (Saturday 2/9/13):
- Basketball (8-2, 21-2) at Wisconsin (7-3, 16-7): For the third time this season, a Michigan win means a #1 ranking on Monday. We're 1-1 in such games so far this season. Someday we'll not care about such trivial things in February...we're not quite there yet, this is still new (relatively) and fun. The Badgers are coming off a Wednesday night win over Iowa, and a big win Sunday at Illinois (which is more than I can say for Indiana). The Badgers also beat Indiana...at Indiana. Anyway, in a perfect world where I didn't have to work today and tonight, or where the game wasn't at 11am locally, I'd be making this trip. I miss Madison. This is a big road game. I feel like Wisconsin is just barely outside of the top tier in the Big Ten this season, which means this is a VERY losable road affair. Tipoff is Noon here in the east. It's on ESPN, so its also on Watch ESPN. Live audio will be here.
- Ice Hockey (7-13-2, 10-16-2) at #12 Notre Dame (12-7-1, 16-11-1): See above. Puck drops at 7:05pm. Live audio here. Televised in A2 on Comcast local (channel 900).
Sunday 2/10/13
- Women's Basketball (6-4, 17-6) at #13 Purdue (7-2, 18-4). Noon tip on BTN.
