The New Nationalization of Notre Dame: An Alamodome Analysis

Charlie Weis and Jack Swarbrick are brilliant men. For Coach Weis and AD Swarbrick to push a 7-4-1 schedule model, successfully execute an off-site home game in San Antonio, and solidify a New York City game amidst the already hallowed confines of Yankee Stadium is ingenious.

The Morning After Irish Insight: Notre Dame vs. Boston College

Another week of vulgarity, pulling hair, and sighs from my living room. It has been too long since the Irish have been able to put together a complete game and take a kneel with a comfortable lead.

Irish looking for stability in secondary

As often as Notre Dame's pass defense looked either dazed, confused or both dazed and confused on Saturday against Boston College, you wouldn't think the subject of stability in the secondary would come up during coach Charlie Weis' Sunday press conference.
