Ok. How about some James Taylor this time. Except I’ll change a few words.

"In my mind I’m forgetting Carolina”

We all should in some respects.

Objectively speaking, this wasn’t a game the Fighting Irish were expected to win. Before the season began, it was one of three games I thought they’d have a hard time. I figured they’d be a bit over confident. Perhaps they were....

For fun today, I watched the 1966 game against Michigan State. I have that box set of some classic Notre Dame games. I had never really seen it in game sequence. It was also only the second half. But it had to be the most physical football I have ever seen!

We love blaming B&G Illustrated over here. Now is as good a time as any. An article was written about how Weis mentioned needing to prepare for the opponent you...
