Three traditionally major college football programs (including 1 with real student-athletes), have an actual opportunity to suffer an opening weekend loss because their programs are in some sort of state of flux. One hopes to take the momentum from a bowl game all the way through the offseason. One hopes the first freshman [...]

Our announcement of the ND vs. Opposition Draft, coupled with this post over on UHND, reminded me of this post we did a year ago looking at draft talent in ND’s upper classes and this post from this past spring looking at the poor state of draftable players on the 2008 squad (again, keep in [...]

Sadly, NBC and Notre Dame will be missing a familiar face when this season eventually, finally, rolls around.  Bea Arthur has left the building.

Silky coiffed Bea Arthur waves “So long” to an indifferent crowd of well-wishers.

Also pathetic: Last week Washington started the first drive of the game with a delay of game penalty. It was mind [...]

Last weekend, we saw some really intriguing match-ups. Texas v. Okalhoma lived up to the billing. UNC v. Notre Dame, while terribly disappointing, was quite entertaining. LSU v. Florida… okay, not so much. But hey, what a barn-burner Michigan (sucks!) v. Toledo proved to be!
This week, we’ve got some match-ups that [...]
