South Bend, Indiana – A South Bend, Indiana based theologian by the name of Hugh Foltz—of no relation to Lou Holtz, former Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach—believes he has unearthed a lost passage from the Bible which foretells the return of the antichrist in the form of a collegiate head football coach. That man, Foltz says, is Ryan Day, currently the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
“The book of Judith got the axe about 1,700 years ago, but one of the passages speaks of a brutish devil with ruddy cheeks, a dark—but false—black beard, and who claims to be a leader among men. I mean, Judith is just beating us over the head with this one,” Foltz said via X (formerly Twitter) direct message on Saturday.
Foltz said the forgotten text—which he failed to produce evidence of when asked—also speaks of an epic clash between the devil hoard lead by the Antichrist and a group of crusaders wearing green and gold. He believes Monday night’s game in Atlanta, Georgia represents that very conflict.
So does that mean the national championship game carries a little extra weight? A lot more, says Foltz.
“I believe this game is about more than who’s the best team in college football—this game is about the soul of humanity,” Foltz said. “Needless to say, I’ll be taking the Irish not only to cover the 8-point spread, but to win outright, for the fate of all mankind,” Foltz concluded.
