Last week’s game against University of Texas left me with mixed emotions. While the team did great on offense, the defense was lacking a little bit of something. I was trying to figure out exactly what they were missing and I realized that they just didn’t have the luck of the Irish on their side. So this week, we pulling out the big guns for the first home game against University of Nevada Reno with the Leprechaun! The last time the Fighting Irish played the Wolf Pack was in 2009 and I ...
#CostumeGameDay : A Bump in the Road
Artists, no matter how talented, often hit a bump in the road that takes them a bit off course. They suffer from writers’ block, lack of enthusiasm and/or lack of creativity. During periods like this, musicians often rely on “Greatest Hits” albums. Well, this year #CostumeGameDay will be a Greatest Hits of my last few season. Not of any of the previous reasons, but I have hit a bump. A baby bump! That’s right, I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant, but that’s not stopping me from supporting the ...

#CostumeGameDay Fiesta Bowl Wrap-Up
The New Year brought an opportunity that was 10 years in the making...University of Notre Dame versus the Ohio State University. Both teams played well but sadly...the ending did not go the way that I had hoped.

Between counting all the entries from the #CostumeGame Recap Tweets and from the game, I ...
#CostumeGameDay: Smoke the Buckeyes
The 2015 season finale is finally upon us. There will be a showdown between University of Notre Dame and Ohio State University. With the luck of the Irish… there will only be one winner….Notre Dame! From what I understand Buckeye leaves resemble Marijuana…which explains why most of the players on the team have some sort of violation. Ironically, those violations do not EVER get anyone suspended from the team. I predict that the Fighting Irish will beat the Buckeyes. 28 - 27. As a reminder ...
