The Fighting Irish are in the national title game for the first time since 2012, but the NCAA’s punishment for using ineligible players forced the team to vacate that season.
“Hey, God. It’s me, Shane. I know I haven’t been here in a while, but I have a big prayer for you,” he said in the announcement. “Notre Dame is in the national championship on Monday. I know you know that, because you’ve been with us the whole time; a couple of weeks ago, that field goal. I know you have a lot of things to do, so it was pretty quiet for you”. He took the time to help us with that.

“I should also say that I haven’t bet on any of these games… Very well, I have, I have bet. But in the future, if Notre Dame wins, you won’t bet on games… for a month. A couple of weeks. I’m probably going to bet on Sunday.
“Come on, God. I know you can help us. Transportation friends. Pick sixes everywhere. Maybe a pair of Fumblerooskis! Just please let Notre Dame win a national championship.”
Gillis was in Notre Dame’s victory over Indiana in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

He mocked former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban, who apparently got rightfully angry at Gillis over comments about SEC schools paying players.
