Floyd To Return to School
Posted on 12 Jan 2011 by Jordan Lauterbach.
He's back! He's back! He's back. In a move that few expected after Floyd's outstanding freshman season, the star wide receiver will be returning for his senior season. This comes as another one of the many great things to happen to Notre Dame football in the last 2 months. It's clear that the program is on the fast track to getting back to the BCS. This sure helps, especially with Kyle Rudolpg...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

Closing Games, Opening Doors
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Closing is the hardest thing to do in any individual sport. Not only does a team have to take a lead and hold it, they have to make sure that all possible opposite momentum is eliminated. It’s ending the game before the clock does. It’s, to a degree, controlling the uncontrollable. Some teams do it well; some can’t do it at all. Notre Dame showed on Saturday that they can close gam...

Notre Dame vs Western Michigan Preview
Posted on 14 Oct 2010 by Tim Lewis.
Finally, a breather. Finally, a win streak. Finally, we've reached the second half of the season and the portion of the schedule that Irish fans had hoped to get to with at least a 4-2 mark. Unfortunately, fake field goals in OT and obscure injuries to the quarterback can not be accounted for, thus, Notre Dame stands at 3-3 instead of 5-1 with BCS dreams alive and well. I predicted a fi...
