Notre Dame vs Michigan State

  Another truly spectacular performance from the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Not only was Notre Dame the underdog being ranked 20th in the country while Michigan State was over rated at number 10, the Fighting Irish were playing on the road all the way in East Lansing. With all the doubt in the world on there performance Notre Dame had something to prove and they did. Freshman Quaterback Everett Golson started strong and never looked back. The Irish would drew first blood scoring the first points of the game on a touchdown pass from Everett Golson. Michigan State's quarterback just couldn't do anything against Notre Dame's solid defense. This would be the first time in 7 years that Notre Dame beat a top ten team. Its a sign of things to come if you ask me and we will not see Michigan State beating Notre Dame for many years to come.

  I was at work during the game and 2 people in Michigan State shirts came in. I unfortunately like to gamble and immediately ask them if they want to bet on the game. They said no at first because they assumed I wanted to put my money on State. This assumption however couldn't have been further from the truth. Once i made it clear I would take Notre Dame they were beyond excited. So excited that I now feel the need to quote one of them "this is going to be the easiest $50 i have ever made" one of them said. I instantly started laughing and said ok we'll see. (I also bet the other Michigan State fan $50)
Now with a total of $150 on the game (I had another $50 bet with some one else who is unrelated to this event) I wouldn't mind Notre Dame winning at all. Thats exactly what Notre Dame did, they won. They won not only because they were good at it but because Michigan State is sub par in every way to the university of Notre Dame. The same way in which the University of Michigan is inferior to Notre Dame perhaps this is the only thing the Michigan State Spartans and the Michigan Wolverines have in common. So not only did I have to bring the customers more and more drinks as Norte Dame scored more and more points on there below average team I began to use extremely sarcastic remarks telling them the game isn't over yet and there could still be a miracle come back by there team. So by the end of the night they were not only poorer they were also mildly insulted. For everyone who reads this the moral of the story is never under any circumstances bet against Notre Dame. ( or maybe never bet against me is just as an important piece of information to have who knows? ) Also save yourself a lot of humiliation next week and don't be a Michigan fan.

  2. That was kind of harsh to say in your last statement. I am not a State fan but I am a Wolverine fan. I do no bash people for who they go for. Not saying you are. All I am saying is the fighting Irish don't always win there games but you still support them. So would it be correct to say when they lose the next time to say save yourself alot of humiliation and next time don't be a Notre Dame fan. Every team has ups and downs, but if they don't have there fans to cheer them on then why play the game. I am just say.... Oh and congrates on your winnings.
