Barstool College Football Show live at Notre Dame Nov. 7

TLDR: The Barstool College Football Show goes to Notre Dame Stadium for the first time Saturday, going live at 4:30 ET before No. 1 Miami plays Notre Dame in South Bend.

Dave Portnoy announced it himself Tuesday afternoon, and he couldn't have sounded more fired up about it.

I am beyond excited for Saturday. For the 1st time in the history of the @BarstoolCFB we are headed to the most iconic stadium in college football. I cant wait to get to South Bend for the game of the year. We’ll see ya Saturday!

That's the hype clip of the year, and the matchup backs it up. Miami comes in 8-0 and ranked No. 1. Notre Dame is 7-1 and ranked No. 4 in the Hurricanes' student paper's preview. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. There's revenge in it too: Miami beat the Irish 27-24 in Week 1 last season, and that result ended up deciding the last College Football Playoff spot. ESPN's College GameDay is also coming to South Bend, so this is the stage for the weekend.

So the show goes live at 4:30 ET, 3 hours before kickoff. By Big Cat's account, the school isn't just putting up with Barstool showing up. On Tuesday's episode of The Yak he called it the best-case scenario for the show.

It means something different to Mike Katic. For him it's a homecoming of the worst possible kind, and he put it about as plainly as you can.

Portnoy isn't waiting for Saturday, either. He's flying in early and asking the internet where to eat Friday. He's Dave, so pizza comes first. The hashtag is the old Catholics vs. Convicts line from the 1988 Notre Dame-Miami game, back when this rivalry was the meanest one in the sport.

So expect a Friday of South Bend pizza reviews and a Saturday afternoon with the whole crew outside the stadium. Then comes the game that might decide the playoff picture again. Notre Dame leads the all-time series 17-9, but Miami has won the last 2. The Hurricanes haven't lost in South Bend since a 30-27 game in 2016. If the Irish pull the upset with the show in town, Barstool will never stop talking about it.
