UHND Football Friday – Week 13
After a few weeks of technical difficulties and the bye week, it’s time for another UHND Football Friday. Good to be back. This week is one of the hardest weeks for me, as an Irish fan, to watch. It’s Senior Day, and it’s time for another group of Seniors to say goodbye to Notre Dame [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 8
I was at work on Tuesday filling out some papers when I turned and ask my co-worker what the date was. He answered “The 15th”, and upon hearing that my mind went into a completely different place. October 15th, 2005 is a day I will always remember. It is the day that the ninth ranked [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 7
With the Irish on a bye and the regular season half over (typing that made me cringe) I thought it would be a good time to check in on this year’s Heisman race. The field is loaded this year, and no clear cut favorite has emerged, so let’s take a look at who can be [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 6
Twitter is one of the best things to happen in the world of sports this century. News has never been so easy to locate and so fast to hit the internet, and you can get all of the latest news in just 180 characters or less, allowing you to get right to the meat of [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 5
In the second quarter of Notre Dame’s 17-13 victory over Michigan State, the Spartans started a drive from inside their own twenty. When they lined up to run their first play, I had to do a double take. Why, they were in the infamous wildcat formation. After the game I kept thinking back to that [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 4
Football Friday returns this week – albeit a day late (blame it on Frankie V and the Eagles getting embarrassed on Thursday night football). This past week, Sports Illustrated released a story on the Oklahoma State football program, and the measures they allegedly took to reach elite status in the NCAA world. The five part [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 3
November 10th, 2012. I watched in awe as a nineteen year old kid ran around, past, and through the best defense in the entire nation, that also happened to be coached by the best coach in the nation. This young man was about fifteen months removed from his senior prom, and yet anytime his team [...]
UHND Football Friday: Week 2
Following last week’s 28-6 win over Temple, Notre Dame announced that they had signed Head Coach Brian Kelly to a five year contract extension. I, like many Notre Dame fans, applauded this move. Kelly has been every bit as good as advertised since joining the Irish three years ago, compiling a 29-11 record with Irish. [...]
UHND’s Football Friday – Week 1
When I was a kid, every Saturday I would pull up a chair about three feet from the television screen to watch that weeks’ Notre Dame game. I would have butterflies for three straight hours. I lived and died on every play. When the Irish won, I felt a sense of relief more so than [...]
Quinn’s Pro Career at a Crossroads
The last Notre Dame team to appear in a BCS Bowl game was the 2006 squad that suffered a defeat at the hands of the LSU Tigers in the Sugar Bowl. That team featured numerous pro prospects that were drafted into the NFL – Brady Quinn, Victor Abiamiri, and Trevor Laws among others. Being that [...]
And you are?
It’s been a relatively quiet lead up to the Sugar Bowl thus far. The only real news you see about Notre Dame football is that of recruiting. Well, things may pick up a little bit now. While reading the Blue Gray Sky this morning, a quote by an LSU defensive end was posted. The player [...]
LSU A Tough Draw for Notre Dame
Nobody ever said it would be easy, and it won’t be on January 3rd as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish try to snap their widely known bowl skid against the LSU Tigers. In my humble opinion, this is the toughest game the Irish could have drawn out of the possible suitors to be there opponent. [...]
A Drive Only Quinn Can Make
My stomach felt like a shoe that a 1st grader just got done trying to tie. When I saw 1:05 left on the clock, all I could think of was how much optimism there was coming into this season, how the Irish were destined for glory, and a National Title was waiting in the wings. [...]
Another Reason why I Love my Irish
Last Saturday during the 3rd quarter of the Miami versus Florida International game, a bench-clearing brawl broke out. Punches were thrown, helmets were being used as num-chucks, and the ever so popular new fad as to stomp on your opponent was alive and kickin’. The whole thing started off after a point after point the [...]
Purdue @ #12 Notre Dame Games Notes
Purdue @ #12 Notre Dame Games Notes I’ll get right to the bullets, but before I do I just want to say Notre Dame really needed this strong performance from their running game this week and they got it. With a real soft spot in the schedule coming up, I believe Darius Walker will get [...]
