So, I had the joy of being at work until 1am last night and I'm just now playing catch-up to get everything out. So instead of a well, thought out intro, you're getting a bulleted list of highlights. Tower, this is Tex, requesting an IBG fly-by: Mike Coffey of NDNation answers my questions below I answer Frank Vitovitch's questions over at UHND.com Visit the other IBG members: NDN will query Keith Arnold of Inside the Irish who will serve as inquisitor to UND.com's Aaron Horvath of the ...

Notre Dame @ Air Force Gameday Conversation
Here is yet ANOTHER reminder about how to find today's game on TV: If you don't have CBS Sports Network (check here to see if you do), head to a sports bar, check out your local ND alumni club for a gamewatch, go to a friend's house, etc. With that out of the way, below are your usual Twitter widgets to help the gameday conversation out. No Spotify playlist this week as my creativity drew a big blank this week. Feel free to enjoy last week's. GO IRISH! BEAT FALCONS! Tweets from ...
Friday Roundup: The “run cmd” Edition
Well, Cam McDaniel has become quite the internet sensation this week. I feel though we are only focusing on one aspect of Cam McDaniel right now. There is clearly so much more that this Texas native delivers. Back when we detailed Cam's amazing run through a backwards gauntlet, one loyal reader had the ingenious idea of nicknaming Cam "run cmd". Being a computer nerd myself, I've run with this. With that in mind, let's take a journey through some of Cam's greatest hits this season via run cmd ...
Guest Post: Confessions of a Subway Alumna
The following guest post was written by Molly Moran and was originally scheduled to appear on The Subway Domer. As Subway has since retired, Molly wanted to see if we'd be interested in running it and we were more than happy to oblige! So without further ado, take it away, Molly! ------------------ Life is a series of moments. Some are legendary and get told over and over, becoming more embellished and ornate to the point they are unrecognizable. Other moments you swear never to forget but ...
Defending the Option: Who Takes Over for Te’o?
Before the Irish started their 2012 season against Navy, I had a detailed post describing how Bob Diaco runs Notre Dame's defense against an option attack. In short, Diaco throws the 3-4 away for such games and switches to a more traditional 4-3 look. The catch though, was that Diaco had another wrinkle in the assignment football that you usually see in the option: Manti Te'o. To refresh, here's how ND started to assign players to defend the option after the 2010 disaster in the ...
PSAs: ND/Air Force NOT on CBS, Check Out iTunes Season Pass
First off, let's just get this out of the way right now and hopefully reduce confusion come Saturday afternoon: Notre Dame @ Air Force is not, I repeat, NOT on CBS. The game will air on the CBS Sports Network which you may or may not have depending on your cable provider. Here's a pretty picture to help you remember: Plan your day accordingly and don't be confused as to why CBS is showing Uncle Verne and an SEC matchup. Second, you may or may not be aware that Notre Dame released a ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: Blue Skies Ahead
Notre Dame beat Southern Cal at home. The Irish head into this weekend facing arguably their easiest opponent all season. Nothing but blue skies and no worries ahead, right? HAHA, oh man, that was funny. This is ND Football, there is always something worry about. This week, Keith Arnold of Inside the Irish takes aim at my three burning questions. I faced Mike Coffey's (aka El Kabong) inquisition this week over at NDNation. Be sure to check out posts from UHND and Strong and True as ...
Her Loyal Podcast: Episode 2
The Irish Twins are back this morning to talk Trojan Bloods and Notre Dame's victory over rival USC. Other topics include discussion of going for it on the first drive, Zaire's redshirt, the Irish offense, special teams, ND's lack of a ranking, a big picture look at the program, and a preview of Air Force. There's a lot to digest, so dig in below: ...
College Football Polls: Let’s Do a Blind Taste Test
So after the joy of beating Southern Cal, Notre Dame fans were quickly brought down to earth by seeing the Irish unranked yet again this week. To add to the frustration, Notre Dame saw teams that they beat in Michigan State and Arizona State ranked ahead of us. So with this in mind, let's do a blind taste test. Below you'll find every ranked 2-loss team, the teams we beat ahead of us, a couple 1 loss teams, a 3 loss team, and Notre Dame. We will then break down their wins and losses and show ...
