Okay ... here's the deal. If I'm in any way interested in the Notre Dame football program "being all it can be", then this Saturday's tilt vs long-time rival USC is my Super Bowl this season. We're 1-6 right now, and of our 6 losses, none have been nail-biters. We shot ourselves in the foot (again!) against #3 Boston College last week in what could have been a winnable … [Read more...] about Super Bowl Saturday

Do or Die for the BoSox
Well ... the Saux have certainly been here before ... facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit in the ALCS against a very capable opponent.

Ichee-ro !
Constantly bombarded with coverage of Seattle sports up here in Alaska, one can't help but follow the Mariners every summer. We get all their games on TV and radio.
