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...

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...

Don't think people care about the Sun Bowl? Check out the first links… It's a sell out! – Miami Herald Irish not holding back – ESPN I wonder if they have “Can't hold back” by Survivor on during practice. As an aside, that's a fantastic song. Trivia: What movie was that song recently featured in?…You got it! Paul Blart:Mall Cop is correct! Good job. Anothe...

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...

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...

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: 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 – 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 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...
