This will be my commercial break game while watching the Irish versus MSU this Saturday. Honestly, I don't know what outcome to root for in terms of what looks good for Notre Dame. I'd love to see USC get upset but not by a team that Notre Dame is going to have, at best, a small edge against...

Unfortunately, I can't bank on being near a TV every Saturday this season so I've looked into the best way to watch games live on my phone or tablet. NBC streams home games and Sprint (my carrier) has a free app for home games. UND.com says it has live streaming but it looks more like an update...

This weekend is the kickoff of an event to raise money for a memorial dedicated to Commodore John Barry at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) has been working on getting a memorial erected for Commodore Barry for several years now. Barry was an Irish-born...

I figured there's plenty of material for a thread like this. What are some film performances that you think were pretty damn good that didn't get Academy recognition? Here's a few of mine to get things rolling: Alan Rickman "Die Hard" It's hard for action movies to get any love, so it's easy...

Here's a link from Freakonomics where they examine the idea of getting a better grade of politicians if you raise their pay scale. Freakonomics » Would Paying Politicians More Attract Better Politicians? I'm skeptical of this really working. I don't think too many people get into politics for...

I have been looking into having a smart phone app made for my new business. I've been talking to some tech design companies and have gotten proposals and estimates all over the map. I've gotten everything from $3000 for design and build to $20K. Just about everything I've done to start has been...

I submitted a resume and got a call back for an interview. The guy referred to himself as "Mister so-and-so" both on the message and when I spoke to him. It is just really pretentious to only refer to yourself as Mister or Miss. I'm going to have a hard time resisting the urge to excessively...

I came across this on the ND team stream on Bleacher Report. Pretty funny. Feel free to post your own jokes about our rival schools Jokes About Notre Dame's Rivals

It's no secret that the Irish are more than a little thin in the secondary. Hell, even Coach Kelly had to say so in his spring practice pressers. So what does Diaco do to offset a weak secondary? I'd say put more pressure on opposite QBs with more pass rushes. And/or have the corners press...

I'm not into college hoops, but I'll get in on the March madness bracketology with something I do like: action movies. I did this on another site and it was fun, so I figured I'd set it up on IE. It's easy, I've picked 32 top action movies (completely subjective and my own opinion) and pit them...

I know Bleacher Report is considered a suspect source by some on IE, but I like this article they have about giving 1 reason why Notre Dame can beat each of their '12 opponents. Notre Dame Football 2012: One Good Reason Why the Irish Can Beat Every Opponent | Bleacher Report It's nice to see a...

My St. Patrick's Day plans are still up in the air. Since it's on a Saturday, the wife and I want to make a weekend of it & go somewhere further away than a day trip. We've been talking about Chicago or Boston (San Francisco's an outside shot, because my sister wants us to visit). Any IE locals...

First off I want to say that I am not a pro football fan. I don't care if the Eagles keep Reid or not. I'm not trying to start a flame war. But I do live in Eagles country and can't avoid the should-Reid-stay-or-go discussions. I'm just curious that, if the Eagles do force Reid out, are there...

I'm not a football junkie (was in high school and college) so maybe others can help me here. I don't watch pro, but I do watch college (Notre Dame faithfully every Saturday as well as other games of interest). Is it just me, but has the term "pick six" suddenly become obnoxiously ubiquitous out...

I realize that the Irish didn't exactly play like world-beaters against Wake tonight. However, plenty of ranked teams got kicked to the curb, including some of the 19-25 set (e.g. WVU, ASU,). I can't see a team like UCLA at 5-4 getting into the top 25 just because they knocked off a ranked team...

These new (week 9) standings have some head-scratchers in there. For instance, I'm surprised Penn State jumped up 3 spots to #16 after barely pulling out a win against an unranked Illinois. Or Texas at #21? They beat a bunch of lightweights but got blown away by the ranked teams. And Stanford...

Like everyone else on IE, I was flabbergasted & heartbroken by the loss to Michigan. The Irish did a lot of things right, but enough things wrong to lose it; won more battles but still lost the war. Many others have pointed out how both of these games have hinged on just a few mistakes, and that...

Just curious as to how the IE community breaks down as far as the reason for Irish fandom. As for me, it was part of an Irish Catholic upbringing; Irish/Italian father & Irish/Polish mother. Notre Dame on Saturdays as far back as I can remember. No one in my family went to school there, but...
