As we make our way through the offense, it is time to look at the depth chart for the offensive line before spring practices start. The first post covered the wide receivers, but now we turn our attention to the big boys up front for Notre Dame. Here ...Published on: 29th November, 2010
Well that was a thriller of a season finale. It’s been a long time coming since Notre Dame beat USC and it sure feels good, doesn’t it? Let’s not waste any time and go right Inside the Irish Huddle. Seniors Came Up Big This was such a great sight to see, with such ...Published on: 24th November, 2010
Well here we are, preparing for the last regular season game of the year.

We heard the accusations long before the 2010 season started. “This is the weakest schedule I’ve ever seen in my lifetime,” said one program follower. “I am ashamed that this team is playing Western Michigan and Tulsa,” said another fan. And of course the non-fan saw the inclusion of both Navy ...Published on: 18th October, 2010
Seven weeks into the 2010 schedule and Notre Dame finally played their first truly weak opponent. Up until this past weekend the Fighting Irish and LSU were the only FBS teams to play BCS conference opponents in the first six games of this season. The Tigers struggled with ...Published on: 6th October, 2010
A few weeks ago I took a look at this year’s new Nike Pro Combat uniforms burning corneas and exploding HD televisions all over the nation. Needless to say, I thought this year’s crop from Nike (with some exceptions, e.g. Oregon State) was a giant puddle of pathetic design on ...
