ND football has just hit a new low. And although he may not have been fired just yet, Charlie Weis just took one step out the door with Saturday's unbelievable head-scratching loss to Navy. The only thing that can save him now is to win the next 3 games (at Pitt, UConn, at Stanford) AND the bowl game. But right now, the chances of that miracle happening look quite slim … [Read more...] about So Long, Charlie!

Irish Spook the Cougs at the Alamo
Notre Dame's Halloween "home game away from home" went about the way most people thought it would as the Irish dominated Washington State en route to a 40-14 win that was essentially over midway through the 3rd quarter.

It’s darned exciting … but I’m stressed out. Can’t ND play another game like the Nevada contest one of these days? In case you missed JC … that’s Jimmy Clausen, who’s been playing like another JC … he rallied the Irish for TDs near the end of regulation and then again in overtime to give Notre Dame it’s 3rd cardiac arrest win in the last 4 nail-biting games by a 37-30 score … [Read more...] about Cardiac Kids!!
