Sun Bowl Win Shows Why Kelly is Right Man for Job
Posted on 31 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
This is why you wait until it’s over. As baseball great Yogi Berra said, “it ain’t over ‘till it’s over.” That phrase definitely proved true of Brian Kelly and the 2010 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In two short months, Kelly is on the fast track to doing what he was hired for last year – bringing respect back to South Bend. Think back to the night of October 30th. Kelly, sitting i...

Notre Dame Football – Wednesday links
Posted on 15 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
In today's edition of “the links”, we have a quarterback controversy and, of course, the continued countdown to New Years Eve…Lets go! Spring practice will bring a mighty quarterback controversy – South Bend Tribune A lot of people think this is a bigger deal than I do. While it won't be his job when practice begins, hasn't Rees done enough to be considered the front r...

A Win Like No Other
Posted on 13 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
WOW. That was unexpected. If you (or, perhaps more appropriately, I) thought the season was over, think again. Two weeks after looking dead as a doornail, the Irish suddenly has life. Bowl eligibility, something that looked like a pipe dream after a crushing loss to Tulsa, is now (dare we say it) likely with Army next on the schedule. The win was the kind Notre Dame fans and haters alike have b...

Ranked Team Coming to South Bend…hide the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on 13 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
The good news? Notre Dame had two weeks to prepare for the Utah Utes. The bad news? Almost everything else. Although this space has looked long and hard, it hasn’t found a way Notre Dame emerges victorious in their third to last game of what’s become a long and trying season. What’s worse is that we don’t see a ton of ways this game is close, either. The equation that adds up to a clo...

Notre Dame/ Tulsa : The Call That Ended 2010
Posted on 1 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Welcome back to rock bottom. Welcome back to playing out the stretch. Welcome back to thoughts like “I’ll be happy if it’s a game in the fourth quarter”. Oh, how I haven’t missed this lonely land where football seasons go to die. But hey, at least theirs only three more weeks on the schedule before the focus shifts to 2011 and beyond, if it hasn’t already. Face it, year one of the B...

Getting Back On Track Against Tulsa
Posted on 30 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Notre Dame has a lot of inter – program turmoil going against them this week. For starters, they are coming off the worst loss of the season. Looking for positives from last week’s loss to Navy wasn’t just like looking for a needle in a hay stack. It more like looking for a good pass to fly from Dayne Crist’s hand. Yes, that may have been a cheep shot at a college kid, but it’s the ...

Notre Dame vs Tulsa Preview
Posted on 28 Oct 2010 by Tim Lewis.
For Irish fans like myself, this is obviously the toughest article of the year to write. A lot of bad things have happened to Brian Kelly and his troops both on and off the field since last Thursday and I'm not one to dwell on the past, thus, my entry will be predictably short and to the point. I'm going to keep the focus on the on field activities because I do not consider myself capable i...

Quarterback Controversy? Think again.
Posted on 26 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Still steaming over Saturday? I know the feeling. However, here's something I don't know – how anyone thinks an Irish quarterback controversy has emerged. Look, I know Dayne Crist was awful on Saturday. No one can deny that. It was way worse then the Stanford game. But if you've watched this team with any sense of frequency, you know that Crist is still the best option right now. Don't ...

Back To Drawing Board For Irish
Posted on 23 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Give this to Charlie Weis; at least his Navy losses were close. It could have been just an ordinary loss. Loosing to Navy is certainly a lot more acceptable then it was a few years ago. The shock surrounding this loss has nothing to do with it “being Navy” as much as it does with the way the Irish played. Any progress the Fighting Irish made in the last few weeks was slammed down to earth o...

Notre Dame/Navy in Jersey! What could be better?
Posted on 23 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Off the top, I’m concerned. I don’t want to hear about this “being Navy”, either. I can hear you now. “Jordan, it’s Navy”, “It’ll be an easy one”, “You can’t spell”…While I will cop to that final one, I refuse to believe the prior two. Haven’t we learned? Don’t you remember two out of the last three games between the two? If memory serves, even the game Notre Dam...

Notre Dame Links – Thursday
Posted on 21 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
A comment appeared on one of my past posts citing how different this Notre Dame team has looked on Brian Kelly, compared to Charlie Weis. Boy, what a difference a few weeks makes. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that readers were talking about how similar this Notre Dame team looked to the Charlie Weis years? Opinions in College Football, more then any other sport, change on a dime. I think this...

A look at the homestretch for Army
Posted on 21 Oct 2010 by Donald Lappe.
As the Army football team spends its bye week preparing for VMI and the last five games of the season, it is a good opportunity to assess what lies ahead. Army can compete with every team remaining on the schedule. They have competed with every team they have faced so far, and should continue to do so. The offense has been consistently productive, and the defense's ability to create negative pl...
