    BabyIrish, you are always on the ball, for which I am sincerely grateful. I just wish that one of these transfers would have been a climax rebounder (even if she couldn't shoot a lick.) If we had ONE climax rebounder, all our defensive excellence and hustle would result in negative trips by the...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Just watched some of the last game on You-Tube. Chicago State was not much of an opponent sadly. They had very poor ball skills and no real challenging "big" either. So we just rolled on cruise control. So ... I learned almost nothing. Hopefully the next game (a MAC opponent) will be more...

    Pennsylvania? It has given us trillions of great things. I'll pick two: Hershey's chocolate and Joe Montana.

    Don't get some of the commentary. Pitt and Narduzzi very much dislike us. They are not a bad team. This should be a brawl and we need to be ready and disciplined. In a way, this is sort of OUR most important game.

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    I read it exactly the opposite way ... as usual. "Everyone's entitled ..."

    About the Havlicek quote: Yep. I saw that OSU team play twice in the NCAAs --- Knight was a bench warmer. (Havlicek, on the other hand was an incredible stud. Bill Russell said that Havlicek was the best player he ever played with.)

    That KKK article was interesting to me since it appears to be constricting history in maybe even a lazy way. I have no doubts about all the detail about the 1924 Notre Dame confrontation, but that didn't end KKK attempts at confrontation like the article implies. I know this because my Father...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    There don't have to be. There are five automatic bids. Several of those don't have to be considered better than us. I believe that we're in too, but this is not grade school math --- there are many complications and commentators are pointing them out. It's all the SECs underneath A&M, Alabama...

    We need all of them ... and all to "hit" immediately. (I'm assuming Hannah goes pro.)

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    Exactly the sort of formal goodbye message I would expect. He is a professional, knew this was coming, doesn't really hold anything against LSU administration, and kept it civilized.

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Yes. Fowles and Moore better have smallish injuries and the Ivey-speak poorly phrased. (Just say that they needed a little more time with their injuries, dammit. "Intentional" opens the gate for "disciplined.") So, if that, then why didn't The Holy Cross (?) transfer play more than garbage time...

    2025 CFB Polls and Rankings

    Thankfully, the committee realizes that Miami is NOT the team they started the season as, and is not punishing us (apparently at all.) Of course, I view this as justifiable. I imagine that Coach Freeman will strongly impress upon everyone that the "next game is all we're looking at" ... but I...

    Environmental Issues

    These things are inevitable in this economic "culture". You cannot keep chasing the last damm nickel in a money stream and not have moments of randomness become disasters. If you're not chasing the last damm nickel, you just might have enough safety redundancy or extra care that the catastrophe...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Ivey has to really hustle this year recruiting in both ways (high school and college), because if Hannah goes pro, there might not be even TWO current players remaining.

    Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

    It's goofy thinking by me, but if Burrow or the two receivers want to bitch about how lousy their team is, then peel off many thousands of those contract dollars and buy a defense. Greed, sucks. So then does your team, and I'm not weeping for such money grabbers ... (after a certain level of...

    Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

    I have a different intuition about Tommy being "stuck" with the Browns. EVERYBODY knows that the Browns suck, personnel wise and administration wise ... SO --> Tommy can't really lose. If the offense fails, well, not his fault; but if sometimes it really wins, then he's a genius. Right on...
