Knick Links – Tuesday
Posted on 18 Jan 2011 by Jordan Lauterbach.
First thought after yesterday's loss to the Suns – “what's the excuse this time?” Not that the players were making it, they weren't – but the media was. The Utah loss last Wednesday was “well, they're looking ahead, they want to get home.” Ok, plausible The Kings loss on Friday – “Hey, long west coast swing! Of course they're going to come out fla...

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 ...

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...

Back from the bye week. Hope ya'll enjoyed your little vacation from frustration, I know we did. Three more weeks to go in year one of the Brian Kelly era, and probably only one more win on the schedule. I know, you've missed us for the last week so heres a gigantic helping on links… Brian Kelly has officially been indoctrinated to what being the Head Coach of Notre Dame football really ...

Can Syracuse Fans Get Excited Yet?
Posted on 14 Oct 2010 by Lutfi Sariahmed.
Break up the Orange! No? Not yet? Well if not now then when? Every Syracuse Orange fan (or at least every reasonable fan) is looking at this team right now thinking the same thing. “This team is 4-1. It is three wins away from making a bowl game barring something DRASTIC. This is a team that was 1-10 not too long ago. I want to get excited but it beat Akron, Colgate and Maine. Was the South F...

Pittsburgh Shouldn’t Scare Irish
Posted on 9 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
If the Boston College game last week was a cake – walk and the Stanford game was the ultimate test, think of Saturday against Pittsburgh as that funky middle ground in between the two. Problem is, it’s really hard to gage which game it’s closer to. As mused earlier in the week in this space, “How good is Pitt?” has become one of the most thought – provoking que...

Why Pitt is IT
Posted on 16 Aug 2010 by Dan Miller.
The Dave Wannstedt era hasn't gone exactly the way he planned when Pitt hired him to replace Walt Harris in December of 2004, until now… Well, hopefully until now. Pitt was picked to win the Big East by many media accounts, an opportunity it failed to capitalize on the past two seasons with losses to Cincinnati in what was essentially the Big East championship game. Still, the Panthers wi...
