I'm holding my nose and rooting for Ohio State.
The last thing I want is Notre Dame truly returning to the national stage, coming into Texas for recruits, and having their mythology shoved down our throats for the foreseeable future. And believe me, their Touchdown Jesus / holier than thou / higher admissions standards / divine right / win one for the Gipper bullshit is the absolute worst in all of college football. And while I do like Freeman, I don't like him enough to endure that shit again. It was awful to listen to that crap in the 1980s. They were Duke basketball on steroids of college football. If they lose again, and hopefully in embarrassing fashion, they revert to their current status as an afterthought who can't really match up athletically and a product of a weak schedule and injuries to their opponents (i.e., Carson Beck).
On the other hand, an Ohio State win doesn't really change much. They are what they are, no matter what happens tonight. I mean, fuck those guys and their fans, but they are still going to be a top 5 program win or lose. And maybe a blowout makes us look better as the clear second best team in the nation, for whatever that is worth.... which ain't much.
