Midpoint Musings: Revisiting Our 2019 Preseason Predictions

Charlie Weis’ Last Stand: Trojans Hold Off Pesky Irish
Yes, that is a twist on the title of Eric's USC Review from this past weekend. I suppose it's fitting that ten years after the Irish nearly took down a top-10 USC team in South Bend, the Trojans nearly did [...]
Notes on the Evolving Nature of Football Stadiums

Notre Dame football's big recruiting weekend is starting off with a BIG bang. Elite 2021 prospect Deion Colzie has decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/195-pounder out of Athens, Georgia is the 6th commit for Notre Dame's [...]
