Two years later, Marrone’s team got a chance to play on the field of Yankee Stadium. The story feel-good story’s happy ending is not simply that the Orange played in a bowl. His team wo...

New Miracle New Meadowlands
Posted on 19 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Giants punter Matt Dodge bore the brunt of the blame but the Giants allowed 28 unanswered points in the fourth quarter Last week I referenced the 1978 Miracle in the Meadowlands (as well as the 1989 Clyde Simmons game), marketing this Eagles-Giants grudge match as ” Mêlée in the Meadowlands ” (now of course in New Meadowlands Stadium) but I had no idea my turn of ...

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...
