Starry-eyed SIMP PREDICTION: Notre Dame 31, Boston College 13

REALITY: Boston College 17, Notre Dame 0

Chicago NBC Affiliate: “God Likes Boston College More”

Boston College joins Michigan and Southern California in the ranks of schools that have shut out Notre Dame under Coach Charlie Weis.

This evens up the all-time series between the only two universities of Roman persuasion playing FBS football (or as the Domers see it, between the only Catholic school playing FBS football and the only Jesuit school playing FBS football) with BC winning the last six. And the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl stays in the Chestnut Hill trophy case where it has been since 2001.

Just for the record, the officials were from the Big East.

P.S. Please feel free to post the annual “See how much you care about this! Look, see, you are always posting about the Irish. See you’re obsessed ! You really care, you do. See! See!” post. Might as well just copy it from last year.
