Sometimes you have to be careful what you say, and Rick Reilly has been ripping on Notre Dame all year. He even wrote an article about how they were irrelevant and should stop acting so pompous. Boy, did they ever prove him wrong.
No way Notre Dame beats USC tonight. If I'm wrong, I'll come to South Bend + polish every freaking helmet. I can't be wrong ALL year, can I?

Congratulations to Notre Dame. Unranked to the BCS title game. Proved everybody wrong, nobody more than me. Wax on. Wax off.

Shiny enough for Notre Dame LB @carlo44cal to check out his Chernobyl beard… #beardgang … Ok I'll stop. pic.twitter.com/pdavlcdm

Notre Dame center @BraxstonCave52 is damn picky about his helmet but it's done. Only 101 to go! pic.twitter.com/qPBoUn8c

First Notre Dame helmet I did belonged to @KLM_89. Good dude! (Plus, he's standing right here.) #EXTRASHINY pic.twitter.com/PNBOhQJ7

It does look like he had a good time with it, and I guarantee that the Fighting Irish players loved it. Polishing over 100 football helmets had to absolutely horrible, and I bet Rick will think twice next time.
