When Notre Dame opens their football season on Saturday might there be thunderstorms across the Michiana area?

That might just be the case.

Or it might not be depending on how you look at things.

According to The Weather Channel there is a 50% chance of rain for Saturday’s opener against Duke as the forecast calls for a high of 78 and low of 61.

Off the top of my head I can’t think of a Notre Dame opener that has included rain since the 2011 disaster against South Florida, one of the most miserable sporting events I have ever attended.

We’ll keep an eye on the skies and on the forecast and if it does end up raining, let’s at least not hope for an embarrassing upset to go along with it.
