Here Come the Irish Now Available

The annual Notre Dame preview magazine, "Here Come the Irish," is now available.

We're mentioning it because, along with Phil Steele's annual opus (can you have an annual opus?), this publication has become one of the best pre-season reads for ND fans, and we prefer our fanbases to be well educated. You know, not like a Michigan (sucks!) fanbase. It's got contributions from the guys at BGS, House that Rock Built (you mean that site is still up?), and SMQ (who, while I think is brilliant, I also think harbors a bit of resentment for the Irish). It's also published by an ND alum.

Oddly, HLS did not contribute to the book. Given that I was busy moving this spring, Biscuit was busy buying large companies, BK was busy not writing about football, and Father was busy lurking in cavernous labyrinths, I guess we just tossed the request for irreverent, topical content out with all those no-hassle offers from Capital One. Strange. This keeps happening with job offers, requests for contributions to publications, and nominations to best-blog awards. I'm starting to suspect the work of gnomes.

So if you want to be one of the better educated ND fans out there, pick up a copy and we can trade notes over beer.
