Opening disclaimer: Youth basketball started here Saturday and my coaching duties prohibited my viewing of the Notre Dame game … other than from my Blackberry. So this post will be a little sketchy on the details and consequently more forward looking.

The fact that ND is the team handing Michigan a defeat makes it very, very special. The Irish were ready to play this game right from the opening kick-off. UM was not. ND looked like the confident squad out … [Read more...] about Notre Dame over Michigan
