Wisconsin Preview: A Game 57 Years in the Making

It's the long-awaited return of the Shamrock Series, except Notre Dame is the away team, wearing their home blue, for a game that is on the Fox Big Noon lineup, and in the Fighting Irish territory of Chicago at Soldier Field. Okay, let's break down this super weird college football game. Modern Wisconsin football has [...]

Toledo Preview: Ruffling a Couple of Feathers

There were three big news items for the Irish this offseason. Two were on the field, with the transfer of Jack Coan and the hiring of Marcus Freeman. The third was the announcement that this game against the Rockets would air exclusively on Peacock. Now, to me, this isn’t a surprising endeavor. The Irish aired [...]

Florida State Preview: It’s Sunday Night Football

We're back in the football mindset opening up the 2021 campaign and heading back to Tallahassee for the first time since *that flag* denied Notre Dame a justified win over then No. 2 Florida State. Since then, Notre Dame has taken both of the meetings at home by a combined score of 84-39, although the [...]

ACC Championship Game Preview: So We Meet Again

This whole conference football thing has been pretty easy! This Saturday afternoon the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame--in their lone season of conference football in school history--will compete for the Atlantic Coast Conference title.

North Carolina Preview: The Expected Shootout at Kenan

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. A return as a head coach isn't supposed to work out very often. Just ask Randy Edsall whose UConn team is sitting out 2020 through the pandemic after going 6-30 in their coach's second stint at Storrs. That fate hasn't affected Mack Brown to date who returned to Chapel Hill last [...]

Boston College Preview: Let’s Make it Personal

Boston College wasn't supposed to be good this season. Okay, maybe they aren't good in the strictest sense but they certainly have surprised a little bit while currently sitting in the middle of the pack within the ACC and 8th best team in the league according to the latest SP+ rankings (the Eagles sit 52nd [...]

Louisville Preview: Got Those Second Year Blues

Life comes at you fast. A quick turnaround from 2-10 to 8-5 in Scott Satterfield's 1st season with the Cardinals brought with it heightened expectations for Louisville in 2020. Thus far, this fall has been more of a nightmare for the Cardinals than climbing up the ACC power rankings. They opened their season with a [...]

Georgia Preview: Between the Moonlit Hedges

It wasn't that long ago that Georgia lurked as a talented but flawed program. Scanning their roster each year they always had numerous high-end NFL talent on both sides of the ball and yet by season's end there was usually a bitter taste of disappointment. Mark Richt did well winning 145 games across 15 seasons [...]
