Internet rumor going around that ND has the flu running around its locker room.  Wouldn't surprise me at all if true, it's definitely making the rounds all over the country.

Last year when I had the flu, it's the worst I've ever felt.  3-4 days of just body-aching misery. I can't imagine trying to play football with even a mild case of it.

Our middle one stayed home today with a stomach flu, which means in a few days either the older or younger one will get it, then finally the third, which will be just enough time to circle back to Patient Zero.

Tell me about it.  I got the flu from my kids last year, although honestly it only knocked them out for maybe 24 hours so perhaps fit football athletes in their prime might be able to shrug off the worst of it.

I also saw an internet rumor of food poisoning making its way around the Penn State locker room.  Hard to know what to believe anymore.. but if the game looks like an old school sluggish three yards and a cloud of dust football maybe they were true.

These ain't regular folks, these are some of the most supremely in shape athletic people on the entire planet and oh yeah they're 18-22 years old and their bodies recover faster than shit. Jordan had the flu dropped 38 and played lock down D in the finals.

ah the infamous built in "bUt wE hADz dAh fLu wAh WaH wErE PuSsiEs" pre-excuse for when ND loses. Ohio State used this one in '21. Oh that and the "dErP bUt iT wAz SnOwInG aNd CoLd" - then in '22 it went to "bUt wE WaZ bEtTeR iF nOt fUr FiVe PlAyz...wE wOuLdVE wOn iF wE juSt DeDnT gAvE uP 5 eIgHTeE yArD tOuChDowN dErP dErP dErP" then in '23 it was...."BuT Da SigNz DeRP dErP Me reTaRD DeRp deRP", '24 it was "rYaN DaY sUcKs it'S alL hIs FaUlT...FiRe HiM nOwWwW!"

Any time you hear this kind of excuse before hand- expect a beat down coming. I already thought Notre Dame was probably overrated and offensively challenged with a shitty QB that can't pass the ball at all and that they'd lose in a close one to Penn State. Switching it up to the blow out. Penn State big.

This is one of your most asinine posts ever and that is quite a high bar.

I saw this report:
https://www.on3.com/college/notre-dame-fighting-irish/news/notre-dame-locker-room-battling-flu-outbreak-ahead-of-orange-bowl-vs-penn-state/

I came here to share and saw that it had already been discussed. I agree with @utee94 :

But so are their opponents and you can't convince any thinking person that having the flu wouldn't massively impact performance. The fatigue factor alone would be debilitating.

I think the problem is that most people don't understand that the difference between the flu and "the flu" is profound...

Yeah I wasn't sure if I'd ever had the flu.  I didn't think I had, but wasn't sure.  Then last year when I actually got it, I knew for sure I'd never had it before.

The amnesia is strong in this one. That's what we said when booger backed out in 2020 but had a full pad practice instead

I seem to be immune to the flu, fortunately.  Covid, not so much.  I've watched a lot of people with the flu and from what I've seen, I want no part of it.

but, during the 4th quarter he seemed OK

I don't get the NFL love for Allar AT ALL.  Same with the LSU QB.  What in the holy hell can make up for poor decision-making and failing to find wide open spaces when you have two 1,000 yard RB threats behind you.
