1:56 PM: The following was released to the public:Man... Only at ND! Smh— Everett Golson (@Everett_Golson5) January 28, 2015Obviously, Everett Golson was trying to tell us something, but what? It had to be important. One does not take to Twitter for just any old thought or impulse. When a 22-year old college student "smh"'s, we must all take note.

Legion Basketball

If you've been watching the Notre Dame men's basketball season, you already know. If you haven't been watching this season, let me assure you, this isn't your typical Brey-ball.

Last week, one of our newest writers, Moons, wrote a solid and well-received piece on whether or not bowl games serve as a "springboard" for success the following season. Moons suggested that a bit of micro-analysis or team-specific inquiry could flesh out his general theory and add a little nuance. In today's piece, I decided to look specifically at the Irish. What I found was that while there was no correlation between a bowl appearance, much less a win, for that matter, and a better record … [Read more...]

With heaping helpings of "dunks dulac" and "small-ball," the Notre Dame men's basketball team is 17-2 overall and 5-1 in the ACC as they round into the final twelve games of the regular season and they've cracked the nation's Top Ten, coming in at number eight in the most recent AP rankings. With wins over North Carolina and Michigan State, 15th-year head coach Mike Brey's cagers have steadily risen through the Top Twenty-Five since first breaking in back in week five.
