Please Give Consderation This Christmas...
About two months ago, I made the decision to make a gift to South Bend's Center for the Homeless of $1,842 -- and in return, they sent me this wonderful present -- see image above.
The ND Monogram is made of bricks from the old Corby Hall that was just re-built here on the University of Notre Dame campus -- a building that goes back to 1895.
South Bend's Center for the Homeless is led by a Domer named Steve Camilleri -- he and his team are doing wonderful things for those who are struggling in our community.
Think about doing this as well...

It's Official! Marcus Freeman is our Coach!
Have to admit -- the room I was in must have been a little "dusty" when I watched this...
Special moments lie ahead!!!
Go Irish!

What Must Happen for Notre Dame Saturday...
NOON ET Kick-off: Oklahoma State (+5.5 pts) vs. Baylor (on ABC)
- Notre Dame will hope that Baylor finds a way to beat the Cowboys
- If they do -- Notre Dame moves up to #5 in rankings
4:00 PM ET Kick-off: Georgia (+6.5 pts) vs. Alabama (on CBS)
- Notre Dame will hope that Georgia beats Bama by 14+ points
- If the game is closer than that, I fear Bama stays in top 4 -- though they have no business doing so with their very difficult wins over some average teams these last few weeks
- Georgia's average margin of victory this season: 32.4 points
- If Bama gets walloped -- Notre Dame moves up in the rankings
4:00 PM ET Kick-off: Cincinnati (+10.5 pts) vs. Houston (on ABC)
- Notre Dame needs Houston to beat Cincinnati -- but not by much
- If Cincinnati loses -- Notre Dame moves up in the rankings
8:00 PM ET Kick-off: Michigan (+10.5 pts) vs. Iowa (on FOX)
- Notre Dame needs Iowa to beat Michigan
- This would more than likely be the biggest upset of the day
So, here is our best route to the College Football Playoffs:
- Decisive win for Georgia over Alabama -- this is a must
- Get Bama out of top 4 in final poll
- And, then we just need one upset in the next three games
- Bettors believe the closest game will be Baylor vs. Oklahoma State
- If this happens -- we have a GREAT shot of making the CFB Playoffs
