Champs Sports Bowl: Florida State vs. Notre Dame

Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium, Orlando, FL

ESPN 5:30pm

Watch this video to get appropriately pumped up for the game:

Yahoo's Matt Hinton (Dr. Saturday) described the video best: "There are a thousand previews of tonight's showdown between unranked Notre Dame and barely ranked Florida State, and all of them combined fail to match the insight in this 43-second acid trip from the geniuses at Catlab, who have boiled down the matchup according to its most essential elements: Burt Reynolds, demented leprechauns, coeds shotgunning beer, Regis Philbin pumping iron, Rudy sprinting through the bowels of Notre Dame Stadium and — most importantly — noted Orlando native/FSU alum Scott Stapp squaring off against Touchdown Jesus."

I like how ESPN didn't show highlights from the most recent ND-FSU game coming back from the last break.

PURPLECON level is about 4.5 right now.

EDIT: Things may be going well for ND now, but remember the inner Brian Kelly....

Save yourself the frustration of watching these two terrible football teams and watch some Michigan basketball! Go Blue beat Penn State.

<br> Brian Kelly, I thank the gods you are not our coach.

7-0 Notre Dame in what has become a defensive struggle moderated by anemic offense on both sides of the ball. Stay tuned for Lou Holtz homer moments...

EDIT: Note to ESPN - must we constantly relive the 15 minutes when ND and FSU were #1 and #2? Those were dark and dangerous times for all.

....are positively correlated to dipshit play in this game. 

Further, why is every play in the secondary on both sides a three or four man clusterf*ck?

EDIT: Did anyone else here Dire Straits' "Walk Of Life" on that Michael Floyd catch?
