A Notre Dame Football Blog
When it rains, it pours. As if the Notre Dame loss to Northwestern wasn't enough to kick off a rough week, my work week too a serious hard turn into awful as the impending Thanksgiving holiday, plus a load of other things, caused me to bow out from both HLS posting as well as Twitter for most of the week. To say that I am ready for another Notre Dame football game is an understatement. While I'm more terrified than I would like to be, I'm ready to get back in the saddle and I'm hoping the ...
Well, we've had a week to stew on the Arizona State loss and it's almost time to turn the page to Northwestern. Before we do, it's time for the IBG to weigh in. As a reminder, myself, NDNation, UHND.com, The Fighting Irish Blog, and the godfather of the IBG, the Subway Domer, will pose a question to the group and link everyone's answer while we each field the rest of the field of questions. So without further ado, let's get to it because the sooner we do, the sooner I can forget things ...
The IBG is back once again and getting back to the normal weekly schedule. This weekend, Notre Dame is in a fight for their playoff lives in a top ten matchup on the road. Sound familiar? So it's time for representatives from NDNation, UHND.com, The Fighting Irish Blog, and the godfather of the IBG, The Subway Domer, to put Navy to bed and take a look at what's ahead. Let's get to it. My question: Based on how the rankings this week, do you feel any differently about a too-close-for ...
Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of the IBG. A combination of the Florida State fallout and the bye had all of our schedules thrown off a bit. However, we are still here, pressing ever onward and getting ready for Navy. Let's do this. My question: If you could change one thing about the game this past weekend that didn't involve a yellow flag, what would it be? NDNation went pull pirate. No seriously, read it. Full pirate. Fighting Irish Blog would like to be on a boat, ...
Well, folks, here we go. It's time for arguably the biggest game of the season and probably one of the few top-five matchups this season outside of the awesome SEC. By now, y'all should know the drill, so I'm going to skip the boring details and jump right into this thing and hit the ground running like I just grabbed some crab legs at Publix. My question: Slow and error-prone starts have plagued the Irish this season (save for an opening TD drive against Purdue). If you're Brian Kelly, ...
In one of college football's great ironies, Notre Dame fans have shifted from enjoying the Stanford win to anxiously awaiting the results of an academic investigation when North Carolina of all teams is about to head to campus. At this point, it shouldn't be surprising that the "imminent" answers that Brian Kelly expected are still hidden somewhere in FERPA secrecy. While I feel for the Marooned Five, and certainly hope they find themselves out of limbo soon, both myself and the rest of the ...
It's good to get back in the regular IBG routine once again. Getting out of the weekly grove with a bye is always jarring. As a reminder, our IBG members are: Mike Coffey from NDNation, Frank Vitovitch from UHND.com, Aaron Horvath from the Official Fighting Irish Blog, and the IBG godfather himself, the Subway Domer. We have all asked each other the same questions and we are here to give you the answers. It's another hate week in my mind. Let's burn some trees. My question: While ...
It's rare that the IBG gets a bye this early in the season, but the rest is quite welcome. Three games is a good sample to look on what Notre Dame football has done and what is still to come. As a reminder, the IBG members (comprised of NDNation, UHND.com, The Official ND Blog, and The Subway Domer) will each ask a question to the panel. We will answer our questions three four and link everyone's answer to our questions. Let's get to it! My question (you might remember this from my ...
After Notre Dame simply dominated Michigan, I assumed just about everyone in the IBG would ask about that game because seriously, Purdue is next and holy zzzzzzzzzz. However, much like Michigan still failing to score, I have been surprised yet again as the majority of the group actually asked questions about the Shamrock Series opponent. I suppose that makes sense in some way. While I'm sure all of us will rewatch Michigan over and over again with glee, the 2014 season still has 10 more games ...
Yes, everyone, the Irish Blogger Gathering (IBG) is indeed back this season. We took last week off because: I was late in rounding everyone up this season. We decided that we beat the offseason to death already. So now that Rice is in the books, it's go time. This year the IBG has a familiar cast of characters: myself, Mike Coffey of NDNation, Aaron Horvath of the official ND Football blog, Frank Vitovitch of UHND.com, and the return of The Subway Domer! You may notice Keith ...
