Scouting Report: Navy
Notre Dame and Navy will face each other for the 90th time on Nov. 5. Kickoff is 11:30 a.m. Eastern at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla., a city that is home to three major naval facilities. MIDDIES RE-ARMING While I thought triple-option football was dead and buried, the Midshipmen have continued to prove me wrong. They've won a remarkable 8 or more games for 12 of the past 13 seasons. There's several challenges to hitting that benchmark this year, including replacing Navy's greatest ...
Notre Dame’s Easiest, Scariest & Toughest Games
The Easiest: Navy Yes, Navy! Before readers attempt to tar and feather me - or worse - I’m going with the Midshipman for a couple of reasons. But wait, what about the vaunted option attack and Ken Niumatalolo’s offense? Remember the years Notre Dame has struggled with it? Consider this: In the last five meetings with Navy, Notre Dame’s average margin of victory has been 22.6 points. This includes a decisive 41-24 victory last year against a Navy team that featured Heisman Trophy ...
Notre Dame v Navy Preview – Looking to Keep the Ships Docked
The When/Where/What Time/Etc. 3:30 PM ET, @ Notre Dame Stadium...and guess who's back: Tom Hammond is back in the booth as NBC's play-by-play commentator for #NotreDame #Navy. No Dan Hicks for second straight home game. — Nick Ironside (@nironside247) October 6, 2015 Now, before you get all up in arms, just remember - the last time Tom Hammond called play-by-play, the Irish posted its best point total since 1996. Get used to another healthy dose of Amir Car-LYLE, CJ Pro-SISE, DeShone ...
Good Fridays w/Padre: Working Mercy
Pope Pope Pope Pope. Is no one aware that we have a football season underway? Well, certainly not the Pope, since his idea of a football is round, you can’t touch it, and you play with it on a pitch. Yes, for Catholics (and, strangely, also for non-Catholics) a Papal visit is very exciting. It is an element of our religion, of our belief system, to recognize the supremacy of the Pope. But it’s also an important element of faith for both Catholics and many, many others, to recognize the supremacy ...
Good Fridays w/Padre: Candid Dates
There’s been a lot of talk in the last few days about the debate among the candidates who want to be President. I was President and I didn’t have to debate anybody for the position – I just had to buy the land, build the buildings, bring in students, burn it down, start over…you know, those sort of things. When I retired, I became Superior General so I could give the President orders. I highly recommend this course of action to those seeking higher office. The only debate I had while I was ...
Good Fridays w/Padre: A Tale of Two Teams
It was the best of seasons, it was the worst of seasons; it was a game of touchdowns, it was a game of turnovers; it was the inspiration for belief, it was the cause of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the autumn of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had a playoff berth before us, we had a second-tier bowl before us; we were in Heaven on earth, we were in a cold, wet Stadium of defeat. Since 1887, we’ve had worse seasons, but few as ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: Devil Went Down to Tempe
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 ...
HLS TV (Episode 10): Say It Ain’t So, Joe!
Molly Moran and I return for a new episode of HLS TV. The title is dedicated to the lose of Joe Schmidt. As Molly is the self-proclaimed leader of the Joe Schmidt Fan Club, the loss of Schmidt for the season has hit HLS TV hard. We talk about Joe and what his injury means for the future of the Irish defense as well as Notre Dame's tilt against Navy. We also discuss what the win means for the Irish going forward, discuss the upcoming game against Arizona State, and do our usual MVPs for the ...
