ND Fans Seem to be Bi-Polar at This Point

How could you ask for a better BCSNCG? This is a dream match-up for both fanbases with two traditional powers, both with storied history battling for college football's ultimate prize.

The only thing that could make it better would be if ND brought out the green jerseys...

Some are talking like it might happen (the green jerseys).
 
I wish in games like this you could get two color jerseys because they aren't similar...crimson and white v. navy (?) blue and gold.

My sentiments exactly. The top program in the country, and the other who used to be great trying to find their way back. The pedigree and old style football makes this game a must see.
 
It is confirmed for Blue. No way we come out in Green.

BTW, we just found out our bowl practice schedule. Have you guys got one up yet?

CNS spends the first few bowl practices going over the fundamentals. Almost like fall camp. Then, the team goes over the gameplan.

Right, but like a specific bowl plan. For example, ours was just announced:

Notre Dame Bowl Month Schedule:
Dec 7th: 1st Practice (during day) & Awards Show (8pm)
Dec 10-14: Finals Week
Dec 21-27: Off for Christmas
Dec 28-31: Return for practice in South Bend
Jan 2: Departure for Miami
Jan 3-5: Practice in Miami
Jan 7: BCS National Championship Game
***Practice Dates: Dec 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31 Jan. 3, 4, 5

Finals are this week and next at UA, so the players won't practice until after that.
 
They'll probably spend half the allotted practice periods on fundamentals and "self-prep" (learning on our own offense and defense). I really don't think Saban spends more than one week of practices installing the gameplan. That isn't to say he isn't burning the midnight oil with his staff to create the gameplan.

It probably allows them to keep the team sharp but also invest time into creating a coherent and complete plan. Teams that start installing early keep on adding things on as they find more things to prepare against. Alabama has probably applied the KISS method. They determine what the opponent will do throughly then send it to the team to execute.

It interested me that the last second deflection was a planned play, based on study of what UGA had done in the past - put in by Smart. Of course, the jumping the route part was planned. The deflection and catch by the wrong receiver was gravy... :D

I think it might keep them excited since it's still fairly new too. Kids don't get bored with the repetition. Sounds like a great way to do things.
 
I mean, Saban is 4-1 in bowl games here and the one loss I think external factors got to the team. The loss to Florida crushed them, losing Andre Smith hurt the OL which didn't have much depth in year two, and Urban Meyer handed Utah's staff the Florida gameplan from the SECCG.

The players may have wanted another shot with Florida in 2009 to win, but I think our staff kind of wanted to embarrass Florida's staff for trying to help an opponent of an SEC team in a bowl game. I may be wrong about that...but I do know Urban Meyer spoke with Utah's staff a few times leading up to their game.

i'm really impressed that our d was able to do that on the fly under extreme duress.
