Notre Dame ended a stellar 2012 season by running into an Alabama buzzsaw in the BCS National Championship game — but that loss hasn’t dampened the spirits of the Fighting Irish. Despite losing Manti Te’o to the NFL, Notre Dame is already planning on making a trip to Pasadena for the 2014 title game. Here’s the schedule inside Notre Dame’s locker room. It should be a great motivator, but there’s just one problem — the 2014 National Championship game will be played on January 6th, not January 7th. Whoops.
