I'm probably quite unique in the world of readers and contributors to this CC&WW site. I'm a die-hard fan of the Chicago White Sox ... the ChiSox ... the Palehose.

ND looked like the confident squad out … [Read more...] about Notre Dame over Michigan
Notre Dame Post Game
Well … that’s not the game most of us expected from the Irish in the opener vs San Diego State. Sure, ND won 21-13, but the fact that SD St came within a whisker of going up by 13 points early in the 4th quarter was unnerving to say the least. Thoughts of last season’s nightmares quickly came back … until Clausen hit Golden Tate with the go-ahead TD a few minutes after the … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Post Game
