PrintPurdue Boilermakers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Sep 4, 2010 3:30 PM EDT
I'm live in the press box at Notre Dame Stadium today with the restriction about live blogging.
They didn't say anything about commenting, however, so let's have another great Open Thread! You guys know what to do, Open Thread Champs. Time to break out the Yeungling and prepare for pancakes once this is done. 3:30pm is kickoff on your local NBC affiliate.
Let's get this back.
A preview of a kick return today?

Boilers Roll!
Bob Marve era begins today with a W. Boilers Roll in SB.
BTFU!
Marve warming up down below
Looks really good. He’s firing ropes from 40 yards

I'm ready for this garbage UF-Miami game to be over
Florida definitely does not look like the #4 team in the country playing a MAC team.
I wouldn't really call it disrespect
ND is always going to get more media attention than us. We’re more of an uncertainty than a given, and I think that’s been portrayed about right.
It's hard to call much of what ND's got this year a given
New system, young QB, I’m tired of the analysts talking about ND’s offense like they’ve already played 6 games

Bandwagon will be gladly accepting passengers.
Starting secondary
Josh Johnson, Logan Link, Albert Evans, Charlton Williams.
At least that is what’s listed
Dierking listed as #1 RB

Also, the predictions from the Gameday crew:
Corso “I was IUs coach, so I’m going to pick against Purdue for no reason other than that.”
When gameday came to Purdue for the Fumble
My friend and I got an awesome “Corso Sucks!” chant going. Top 5 college moment for me.
