It’s here! After 109 long days, the Notre Dame football team takes the field again. OK, ok. It’s a scrimmage. But it’s the closest thing we’ll have to real action for the next 140 days. So tune in at 12:30 p.m. to NBC Sports Network (a totally different channel than NBC) and enjoy it. While we await kickoff, here’s a multitude of links to get you ready for the game.
