I looooove talking about how young this team was this year.  Well, I don’t really love it, I love that it’s in the PAST.  But, new data keeps coming up that I find pretty interesting.  So I share.  I’m a sharer.  And a dead-horse-beater.
 
Take that you freaking dead horse!
Much like my Soap Opera Post, this [...]

Not that the headline is telling you anything that you, as a rabid ND fan, didn’t already know. But the Pac-10 is backing up the decision to reverse the correct call on the field from Saturday’s Stanford/Notre Dame game which said that this catch was a completion for a touchdown. The correct call, [...]

Given the fact that Donna Shala is still employed as president of the University of Miami, I suppose I shouldn’t be completely shocked by the news/rumor that Randy Shannon, the head coach of the Miami Football program, who was ostensibly expected to help clean up the program just as much as improve their win-loss record, [...]

Joe D’Alessandris: Former OL coach for Georgia Tech. They managed the 16th ranked rushing attack in the NCAA [...]

Perhaps it’s just that they got sick of trying to beat Ohio State and Jim Tressel, or that they’ve realized they can’t beat Notre Dame and Charlie Weis at recruiting even when ND goes 3-9, but the recent and rampant rumors about Michigan (sucks!) Head Coaching search seem to indicate they no longer take football [...]

Charlie Weis and Notre Dame have won and will win as many games against Pac-10 teams in 2007 as Ty Willingham and Washington (2 wins each).
Bonus Fun Schadenfreude Fact of the Day:  Weis has won just as many games against Pac-10 opponents as Ty Willingham since Weis has been at ND and Willingham has been [...]
