If Tuukka is starting in Buffalo, I’d say it’s looking pretty good that Halak will be the starter in South Bend.

Man, the last time I was in South Bend was....I don't even remember. I think, when I was in grade school in Harrison Elementary in Warsaw, Indiana, we visited ND for a day, but I cannot remember for any reason why we were there.

Not gonna lie guys, I love Virginia. But there ARE days I look back up at Indiana and get wistful about that state. Was an idyllic place to grow up...albeit with a cornfield literally in the front yard...

Can't wait to watch this game!

I will never forget the first time I ever worked a game for NBC at Notre Dame 25 years ago.

Having BU roots I don't really like BC but a young Tom Coughlin turned down the chance to coach in the NFL because he wanted another shot at Lou Holtz after ND ran up the score on BC a year earlier.

This was a game for the ages

I'm planning to come up for the day, so any listers who are also in South Bend, I'd be more than happy to meet up and put some faces with usernames.
For you and anyone else going cheer loud for our boys and have a blast. My daughter will be there !

I can't cheer but.....

I spent a good part of my professional life in Chicago and met my ex there and I always had a fond feeling towards the White Sox and Blackhawks and I also lived in Chicago when Super XX happened.

I actually had to hand deliver this video to Chicago media outlets ( My ex is one of the vocalists )

My wife and I are flying into Detroit tomorrow morning and driving. The flights to Detroit were cheaper, direct and better hours. Even if it is an extra hour away from South bend, oh well. I was really looking forward to it as it was my 30th birthday present but we just closed on a house on Thursday so it’s now become quite inconvenient and stressful.

The NHL has been following the Bruins since Thanksgiving for a possible 'Road to the Winter Classic' on NBCSN but it still isn't official as the NHL fears promoting 2 bad teams will not help ratings.

How do you promote this game to the hardcores let alone the casual fan?
