Top Fifteen Plays of the Kelly Years

by

Last week, we gave you the Top Five Games of the Brian Kelly Years. Last night, you watched The Oscars. This morning, for your consideration and viewing pleasure, we present the Top Fifteen Plays of the Brian Kelly Years. @SupermanTDJesus helped with this project. I am grateful for his technical abilities and efficiency. Let's face it, though. There have been a lot of plays in five seasons of football. And, if we're being honest, a lot of booze chased away the memory of the bad ones. ...

Only One Notre Dame Draft Pick–Should We Worry?

by

As andrewwinn mentioned in his daily Morning Roundup, some eyebrows were raised with Ben Koyack was the only Notre Dame player selected in the 2015 NFL Draft--and in the seventh round at that. While some within ND fandom grew concerned about what this meant for the current talent in the Brian Kelly era, some outside of it saw a golden opportunity to take a lazy potshot at the Irish as the draft wound down: https://twitter.com/SBNationCFB/status/594598544507469824 Now, there's the obvious ...

Happy Mother’s Day!

by

As we gather with our families today to celebrate our mothers, I not only reflect on what my own mother has done for me over the years through her love and sacrifice ... but I also reflect on all that Our Lady has done for me. I think about who I am today as a person, and how much of that is due in part to the time I spent in the shadows of Our Lady on top of the Dome. I grew, changed and developed into the woman I am today as a result of the not only my studies but also the experiences that I ...

ND News: Irish Down Duke, Tuitt Declares

by

Despite there being no football game or national championship won, this last weekend should go down as one of the more important, if not the first ever, of 2014. As Friday became Saturday, and the temperatures in Purcell Pavillion rose on account of the nattering nabobs of the nation's assembled media, as Saturday became Sunday, and the temperatures outside plunged and record snow whited-out the landscape, Notre Dame filled the non-weather-related headlines. Saturday saw Coach Mike Brey's ...

Yep, this pretty much sums it up. (Screen capture from @SuperManTDJesus)

Snap Judgment: Pitt

by

So where do we even start with Notre Dame's debacle in Pittsburgh last night? Perhaps we could start with Tommy Rees. Tommy, quite frankly, had one of his worse games in his career at ND. He may have had 300+ yards through the air, but he did so with a sub-50% completion rate and 2 INTs which may have been two of the worst balls that I've ever seen him throw. One of these came in the endzone and when Notre Dame was on Pitt's 2 yard line no less. Or perhaps we could point to T.J. Jones' ...

Defending the Option: Who Takes Over for Te’o?

by

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 ...

Friday Roundup: “The Manchurian AD: Part 2” Edition

by

Previously... The Trojan's game was going exactly how Mike Garrett hoped it would. Sure, it looked like something resembling a game in the first half, but this second half was a disaster. He could trigger Pat Haden to fire Lane Kiffin and no one would be the wiser. An angry AD after an embarrassing blowout would serve as the perfect cover. Garrett was anxious. He wanted to launch his plan now, but he knew Haden was surrounded by far too many people associated with USC, people that would be ...

Ranking the Irish Roster: Tex’s Top 25

by

Every year, Keith Arnold over at Inside the Irish does an annual ranking of the top 25 players on the Notre Dame roster. This year marks the second year that I have been able to contribute and, this time around, I wanted to give a break down of my rankings. Thankfully, I don't have to justify ranking a kicker #1 (NEVER FORGET) or leaving our starting QB off the top 25 list (NEVER FORGET THIS AS WELL). So without further ado, let's get to the rankings. ...
