Notre Dame VS Miami Predictions

Irish Editor October 27, 2016 2016 Games, Predictions Tagged

These are not the Jimmy Johnson/Lou Holtz teams. Both floundering with Miami trying to right the ship by hiring Mark Richt who was fired by Georgia. I have no idea if Richt is a good coach, but he does seem to be a nice guy. Brian Kelly, I believe, is about an inch short of

Commits – Gain one Lose one – Elijah Hicks

Irish Editor October 19, 2016 Commits 2017 Tagged

Elijah Hicks 4 Star DB from California brings the 2017 Class back up to 18 again. He had offers from USC, Michigan, UCLA and Washington. He is considered to be ready to contribute in 2017 – so that’s good. On the other hand DL Commit Donovan Jeter has re-opened his recruitment. That’s tough since ND

Stanford 17 Notre Dame 10

Irish Editor October 16, 2016 2016 Games, Press Tagged

There is no light at the end of this nightmare. ND lost to a dreadful Stanford team whose best player was sidelined. Going up 10-0 at the half I felt sure we would coast along for at least another 20 points – we got 0. QB Kizer seems to becoming completely unglued, to such an

Notre Dame Vs Stanford Predictions

Irish Editor October 13, 2016 2016 Games, Predictions Tagged

Both of these teams are spiraling downward. We all know about ND, but what happened to Stanford? A lot of guys graduated including their starting QB and 3 OL. Now they lost to injury All American RB McCaffrey, at least for this game. It’s really hard to get a feel for Stanford for they started

NC State 10 Notre Dame 3

Irish Editor October 9, 2016 2016 Games, Press Tagged

The only people dumber than the ND coaches are the idiots sitting in the pouring rain watching a God awful demonstration of football. Brian Kelly let everyone at home know that it wasn’t him that lost the game but his Center who he lambasted on the sidelines for way too long. Then to prove he

Notre Dame At NC State Predictions

Irish Editor October 5, 2016 2016 Games, Predictions Tagged

With all of the nail biting about this hurricane, the obvious solution to me is to play at Notre Dame. This situation is just too damn scary to put these kids in jeopardy. My guess is that they don’t play this game, which would be the best outcome for ND. This game, if played, will

Notre Dame 50 Syracuse 33

Irish Editor October 2, 2016 2016 Games, Press Tagged

It looked like both teams thought it would be neat to go over 100 combined points. Both defenses were equally bad and both offenses left points on the board, but at least ND won. Even with all this offense it was a dull and disappointing game. Can’t get jacked with ND when you know down

The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane You lock the door And throw away the key There’s someone in my head but it’s not me. — Pink Floyd — Brian Kelly, now 7 years into the job is feeling the insidious need

Brian VanGorder Fired

Irish Editor September 25, 2016 Press Tagged

Brian Kelly axed Brian VanGorder today, which was expected but I thought it would come after this season. However, with 8 games left and everyone averaging 500 yds against ND I guess he had no choice. Greg Hudson who is currently at ND as an analyst was named the new DC. Hudson played an undistinguished

Duke 38 Notre Dame 35

Irish Editor 2016 Games, Press Tagged

Now that seems very strange to write that header, yet Duke comes in with 2 losses, freshman QB and rolls up 500 yds on ND – actually just shy. QB Jones accounted for 3 TD passes and 1 pick. Duke’s best player injured his knee in the 1st quarter or this score would have been
