BlueGraySky - who has all sorts of fun stuff over there as we get ready for the season - got their annual picture of all the tickets, and my, aren't they pretty? Six days until kickoff, folks, and once you make it until Thursday, they'll be football waiting for you.

27 Aug 2009 02:45:25 PDT

Written by CW
For some godless reason, football seems particularly far away this year. Because of this, fans of every team have way too much time to talk themselves into - and out of - their favorite's prospects this season. The following is a typical conversation that goes on in the mind of a Notre Dame f...

Opinion: Bowl projections

Written by Wacko(nwaechter@hotmail.com)
With Rutgers' beatdown of Louisville last night, the Irish have been officially kicked out of the Big East bowl rotation and are left blowing in the wind waiting for an at-large invitation to a bowl game. Notre Dame is still Notre Dame, however, and will get several invitations. Here are the...

Oh, what a joy it is to be a Notre Dame fan this week. First you hear about Brady Quinn's season ending injury and then you have to listen to the national media discuss the future of Notre Dame football and Charlie Weis. After an embarrassing home loss to 2-8 Syracuse, Charlie Weis' job securi...

Opinion: Don't Get Ahead of Ourselves

18 Nov 2008 09:09:57 PST

First the bowl thing: the guys in the funny-colored jackets who pick the bowl teams don't always say what they mean. ESPN has Notre Dame as a Gator Bowl pick playing against either Maryland or Miami. If Nebraska were to be picked for that against one of those teams, I don't think we'd be conside...

If you've gone to Notre Dame the last fifteen years, you're taking this losing too lightly and don't understand tradition!: I'm pretty sure I understand the difference between winning and losing, thanks. You're also probably the same tradition-obsessed asshole who made fun of Mike Le...

After a long week of reading everything I can get my hands on about Notre Dame football, and some time to look back at the Notre Dame program in my lifetime, with my multitude of experiences both as a fan growing up in South Bend, as a student, and as an alum, I have come up with a long-term strate...

Opinion: Southern Cal to Cal Poly: The Big Ten Out Of Conference Schedule

24 Jun 2008 17:39:16 PDT

Written by Kevin HD
The one thing that really stands out is the fact that the three traditional Notre Dame opponents, Michigan State, Michigan and Purdue, come in one-two-three. I understand Notre Dame usually plays the role of a legit opponent, but keep in mind they were one of the worst teams in D1a last s...

Happy Friday: A Week In Review

20 Jun 2008 10:20:53 PDT

Written by CW
A rather eventful week for Notre Dame football considering it's mid-June. I'm taking off after posting this for a Rakes summit with Rob and Jay Bruce, as I make my first and last visit to the House Ruth Built before the Yankees move out at the end of this year. If anything should break over the...

Big Ten teams- A few years ago, the Irish played both Indiana and Michigan, a trend that sadly stopped the last couple seasons. While the team may eventually face Tom Crean’s Indiana Hoosiers in Maui (one NCAA win in five seasons! As long as he can get Dwyane Wade to come to Bloomington, gre...

Opinion: Your March Madness Opening Rounds Weekend Recap

25 Mar 2008 09:07:55 PDT

Written by CW
Even though Notre Dame bowed out of the tournament in the second round (I like to think of it less as a loss, more of a mercy killing so they didn't have to face the buzzsaw known as North Carolina), this weekend was a fantastic one for college hoops after last March's snoozer. Two quick points...

Opinion: Washington State suffocates Notre Dame, ending the Irish season one game short of the Sweet Sixteen

23 Mar 2008 21:32:58 PDT

Written by CW
You have to love the effort from Luke Harangody, hauling in 36 boards in Notre Dame's two tournament games. Against Washington State, he was pressing like everyone else on offense, but he had the added bonus of getting double-teamed every time he caught the ball down in the post. You'd...

Written by CW
Seth Davis paid the Irish a fantastic compliment in his weekend picks today, writing that "Few teams in America have better chemistry and role definition than the Irish. What's more, this is the best defensive team Mike Brey has had in South Bend." I don't want to get my hopes too far up, as th...

Happy Holidays! There's been a dearth of posts lately, but since there's really nothing going on with Notre Dame football right now (well, except for our most important commit in the last 5 years taking a visit to Florida), I thought I'd give you my review on other teams' coaching changes....

Opinion: Kansas State vs. Notre Dame Recap: Luke Harangody > Michael Beasley

05 Dec 2007 07:59:59 PST

Written by CW
It's clearly a statement to the talent of Beasley that he pulled in 19 points and 13 boards and we're trumpeting our successes, but hey, those were both below his season averages. Using a 2-3 zone that was pretty active most of the time, the Irish constantly had multiple defenders around Be...

Opinion: Setting The Stage for Boston College at Notre Dame

11 Oct 2007 14:10:48 PDT

Written by CW
This is strength versus strength, and if the Irish D can continue to be stingy through the air, this bodes very well for the Irish overall. This was going to be their stage. For the Boston College Eagles, there could be no better place to establish credibility in an unbeaten season than Notre D...

It has been said countless times of course; but it still must be repeated: Karl Dorrell was completely unqualified to have been hired as UCLA football coach; and once hired, has achieved nothing which should warrant him still being around. We all know that he wouldn't be around were this...

Written by T Kyle King
I must apologize to Maize 'n' Brew Dave for saying so, but Paul probably is right that Michigan essentially is off the table. Even though Bill Martin has given us the most slender ray of hope, the Wolverines are not looking to schedule a tough non-conference away game in an even-numbered yea...

30 Apr 2007 09:08:40 PDT

Executive Three: What about drafting a few guys from Notre Dame? That's some big Catholic school, they'll probably be decent, God-fearing people. Despite his football background, the Cubs minor league prospect wasn't glued to draft coverage the way some of his teammates were.

19 Nov 2006 12:28:38 PST

Written by Sal Marinello
Incredibly while people debate whether an undefeated Big East team deserves to play for a national championship – it doesn’t and there won’t be one anyway - and which one loss team deserves to play in the national championship game - Michigan does - nobody says a word about Notre Dame’s emb...
