Leaving in a few hours to drive up to Notre Dame for the weekend to see the Notre Dame vs. Duke football game. The battle for 10 losses. I have been a lifelong Notre Dame fan so its been a tough season all around because they were at least winning over the last two years that Duke didn't win a game. Should be a good time no matter the outcome though.

We had 10 losses last year, now we are 8-3 LOL! If only we had beaten Iowa or Michigan, all we would need to go to the Rose Bowl is to beat Northwestern...ugh

Anyways, my first two years here we were 2-9 and 2-10, so going to the Capital One Bowl or wherever will be pretty sweet...since I'm roadtrippin WOO

Mab, I go to Duke, but have been a Notre Dame fan as long as I remember. I will be cheering for Duke, but Notre Dame is still my second team. Its been really rough watching them struggle. If they were undefeated or something I would probably have a tough time cheering for Duke knowing it would ruin their Notre Dame's hopes, but as is maybe a Duke win will get Weis fired and then its a perfect situation.

Illini, you have very good football luck. Over my last 7 years (dating back to my freshman year of high school) my football teams (HS and then Duke) have been a combined 11-66. Every single win is a treat. Also, our only DI win in my 3 years at school (1-33) has been over Northwestern. If you don't beat them then its pretty bad.
