Army going bowling
Posted on 7 Dec 2010 by Donald Lappe.
Army is returning to the bowl lineup for the first time since 1996, when the Black Knights square off with the Mustangs of SMU in the Armed Forces Bowl on December 30 at noon. The Mustangs were relegated to the Armed Forces Bowl after losing the C-USA Title game. Former Hawaii Head Coach June Jones will lead the Mustangs; having turned around the program after the NCAA death penalty crippled th...

On a Christmas Eve…2008
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
As we slowly tread our way towards the Sun Bowl on New Years Eve, lets relive Notre Dame's last bowl. Ironically, it was also played on an eve. Christmas Eve. 2008 And what a bowl it was!  The 49 – 21 win over Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl snapped a nine game bowl loosing streak for the Irish. It was arguably theshining moment for two of the Irish's most talked about characters. First, Cha...

Historic Matchup Heads To Historic Bowl
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Catholics vs Convicts! The Gerry Faust revenge game! The greatest matchup in the history of the Sun Bowl! Had this on Twitter late Saturday night, so make sure you give me a follow @jlauterbach1 (and while you’re at it, plug in @prosportsblog as well) Short of a BCS bowl (or maybe a matchup with Boise State), yesterday’s official news that Notre Dame will be renewing its rivalry with Miami ...

Notre Dame: A Study in Mental Toughness
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It is truly remarkable to think about how the Notre Dame season ended. Yes, it’s only 7 -5 (exactly what this space predicted in late August, but the way), but it’s the best kind of 7 -5. It’s the pleasantly surprising kind. We know the story, heard it a million times. But somehow, it doesn’t get old. At 4 -5 and coming off a brutal home loss to Tulsa, it looked like Notre Dame’s bowl...

What’s Better Then Finishing In L.A? Uh, a lot….
Posted on 26 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
This is the luxury of being bowl eligible. At least Notre Dame doesn’t have to win this game, but it would nice. Boy, would it be nice. The reality is, as famous as this rivalry is, the games played in Los Angeles stink.  Sure, the recent South Bend chapters have been entertaining. Who could forget the Bush Push? I know it still gives me nightmares. Even last year’s game was close. A 34 â€...

Army beaten by Notre Dame 27-3
Posted on 21 Nov 2010 by Donald Lappe.
After a Donovan Travis interception in the end zone gave the Army offense the ball on their own 20 yard line, the Black Knights marched 78 yards on 17 plays, chewing up almost nine minutes of the first quarter. An Alex Carlton field goal gave Army a 3-0 lead. The formula worked. Employ the “bend but don't break” defense, run the ball, control the clock, and come away with points. Mi...

A Big Win On A Big Stage
Posted on 21 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Six points.  That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has allowed in the month of November.  Seven Points.  That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has scored in the month of November.  Add in a special teams touchdown to that equation and it wouldn’t have mattered if the Irish gained a yard of offense in the years eleventh month, they’d still be 2 – 0.  A lot of thing...

Home Runs On The Menu For Irish at Yankee Stadium
Posted on 20 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Of all the storylines we’ve seen over the years, one hasn’t entered the equation. How will Notre Dame handle success? Yes, success. The second chapter to a big time win is how you respond the following week against an opponent that is generally considered inferior.  Think about it. This team knows nothing except disappoint. So many times, they’ve been on the other side. They’ve been lo...

Notre Dame Football: 5 Bowl Scenarios
Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but as I did my morning link peruse I came across potential bowl match ups for the Irish. This, of course (I feel like this is required to write), is assuming Notre Dame beats Army this Saturday at Yankee Stadium. The far less likely scenario of a loss to Army and a win at USC would also work, but…I mean….come on…. Anyway, here are five sceanario...

Notre Dame Football: Monday Links
Posted on 15 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Has it set in yet? Notre Dame actually won a huge game on Saturday. This space is still in a bit of shock, quite frankly. Here's the reason why Notre Dame's win over Utah on Saturday was so big – Â Not only was it a win over a top 20 opponent, but it was a win the Irish needed to extend the season. Now, Notre Dame is in the drivers seat for a sixth win and a bowl birth. Suddenly, a disapp...

A ticket to the big dance
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Donald Lappe.
Army football is back. The Black Knights are eligible for postseason play for the first time since 1996 following a 45-28 win over Kent State. With games still remaining on the schedule against Notre Dame and Navy, Army has a chance to make some national noise before all is said and done. Becoming bowl eligible does not guarantee Army a spot. Click here for a rundown of the bowl situation. Arm...
