Notre Dame-Boston College: Pregame buzz on Twitter
For the final time in 2022, Notre Dame will play at home as Boston College comes-a-calling. The Fighting Irish are a sizeable favorite but take on an opponent that has created its fair share of celebrations at Notre Dame Stadium over the years. Fortunately for the Irish, none have taken place since 2007.
Senior day is always a weird roller coaster of emotions, too. In recent years we’ve seen plenty of slow starts by Notre Dame before they ultimately rolled to victories. Last year against Georgia Tech was an exception, but Syracuse in 2020, Boston College in 2019, and 2017 against Navy were all struggle fests for the majority of the first half, if not for longer.
Frigid conditions are upon us in South Bend as we’re a few hours from kickoff. Here is how some of those on social media are settling in as they get ready for Notre Dame-Boston College this afternoon.
Senior day for ND Football

Coldest game in a long, long time (officially)
With a forecast of 26 degrees for the game tomorrow vs. Boston College, Irish are looking at the coldest home game since BYU in 2013 (also 26 degrees).
The coldest before BYU in '13 was 24 degrees against Navy in 1991.

In Notre Dame Stadium (since 1930) the Irish are 5-0 in snow games – 9-7 vs. Navy 1937, 40-12 vs. Southern Cal 1957, 48-0 vs. Army 1974, 17-16 vs. Penn State 1992 and 23-13 vs. BYU in 2013.

I never say this about gameday at Notre Dame but I’m pretty content with watching this one from home.
