A Notre Dame Football Blog
It's almost time. The thought raced through Brian Kelly's mind as he gazed into his mirror. Clad in a navy-blue suit and gold tie, he clutched his inspiration loosely in his hand. More notes, scribbles, and arrows littered the page than his five-wide goal line section of the playbook. How does one prepare for Rice with Michigan around the corner? The question plagued him even before fall camp had started. He could only serve so many rice-themed dishes at the training table. It was a ...
Some times, I wonder why I love sports so much. They can cause me such pain and even in, what has been a quiet offseason to this point, Notre Dame football still finds a way to troll me.

Good grief, NCAA, where do I even begin with you this week? In case you missed it, on Wednesday Jay Bilas partook in one of his favorite pastimes: dropping bombs on the NCAA's head. He discovered that you could enter names of athletes the search feature of the NCAA's store and actually find the "generic" numbered jersey that just so happens to match said athlete like say, Johnny Manzel, who is currently under investigation for taking payment for signing ...
