2014 Shamrock Series Uniforms Revealed
Well, it's that time of year. Media day, otherwise known as #Swatchmas aka "The Day We See the Shamrock Series Jerseys", has arrived. I must say that, once again, I am very pleasantly surprised with the look. Let's start the uniform review with what usually is the most controversial element every year: the helmet. This year, a lot was done to the helmet, but I must say it is an incredible look. The inspiration for the entire uniform came from the unique architecture on campus. As the ...

Friday Roundup: The “Gentlemen, Start Your Sources!” Edition
College football's coaching carousel is like Black Friday shopping. Every year, it gets more absurd and manages to start even earlier than the year prior. This year, before half of the bowl games were even finalized, people started floating around Nick Saban to Texas rumors. Actually, to be fair, this talk started at the beginning of the season because that's a good time to make those choices. I guess if you're going to try to stir the pot, you might as well go with the craziest rumor ...

Shamrock Series: Deep in the Heart of Texas

For this iteration of the Shamrock Series, the Fighting Irish came into my home of Dallas Arlington North Texas for an event that was truly unlike anything that I had experienced out in New York ...
Friday Roundup: The “Running with the Devils” Edition
Let's face it, when Notre Dame faces off against the Arizona State Sun Devils in their full hellfire attire, the Irish will be facing off against one of the best offenses that they will see in all of 2013. As Bayou discussed yesterday, they have put on quite a show throughout most of their season. And I'm going to give the Sun Devils a load of credit here, they've looked pretty damn good doing it too for the most part. And with Arizona State favored by 6 at the time of this writing, it's ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: Shamrock Series – Episode 5

You can see my answers over with Subway Domer. Also be sure to check out other IBG entries at NDN, Inside the Irish, and Strong and True. Arizona State’s offense has been putting up some big numbers. The defense has made some strides, but the ASU squad is coming off hanging 6 TD in the second half alone ...
