A Season with Notre Dame Football

Guys are more likely to do the little things right if they know everything they do could end up on TV.

I'm kind of in this boat. People often work harder under a microscope.

You'd think playing for Notre Dame already puts you under that microscope. Playing for Notre Dame, and a few other universities, puts you in the limelight when doing good but even more when doing bad.

I don't necessarily think it had a negative effect but I could see players getting too much spotlight from the show and losing focus. Maybe thinking all they had to do on Saturday was show up and win. I loved the show personally. Just curious to others opinions...

I think the show helped everyone stay focused last year. I really do. Having national television cameras around all the time... it keeps you on your toes and accountable. I know the staff thought it was a huge burden, but like think about how few "distractions" there were last year relative to years before and this year.

When I say losing focus. I mean this year, not last. I agree with everyone on the microscope from last year.
