by Wally Hallelujah!!!! Seems like it's been several months since Notre Dame's last win, but the Irish got it done last night in Chestnut Hill, MA with a 31-13 win. Seems the Irish have been turning the tables lately against a Boston College team that has seemingly tormented them almost as much as Michigan State. And it's quite a relief to know that ND is not the … [Read more...] about Prayers Answered as Irish Finally Win!
