Yankee Stadium will be the site for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl which will take place on December 30th., 2010. The Pinstripe Bowl will feature the #3 team from the Big East and the #6 team from the Big XII. The two conferences, along with New Era and Yankee officials, agreed to play until the 2013 college football season. Earlier this year, Army and Notre Dame agreed to play at Yankee Stadium on November 20th., 2010 also. Football games...
Notre Dame and Maryland will meet on November 12, 2011, at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. As of last year, Notre Dame’s athletic department decided to play one home game a year away from South Bend. As a result, the Irish played Washington State in San Antonio last season at the Alamodome, and are scheduled to play at the new Yankee Stadium against Army next season. While D.C. has a large number of Notre Dame alums, the University of Maryland is only 15...
From the day Jimmy Clausen enrolled at Notre Dame, he has been scrutinized from head to toe. For those of you who don’t know him personally, his image and reputation is somewhat skeptical and arrogant. Rolling onto campus in a Hummer limousine to announce that he is going to Notre Dame and will win four titles with the Irish was one of his many antics that rubbed people the wrong way. What made matters worse was the team’s W/L record with Clausen...
Well it looks like signing day has come and gone. Aside from a few holdouts such as Seantrel Henderson (who is holding out on USC until the NCAA concludes its investigation), most teams have their recruiting class all lined up. Depending on which rating scale you prefer, the top ten schools should come to no surprise–Florida, Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma and USC all had strong showings and late moves. Penn State, Auburn and Washington also picked up some highly talented...
It looks like Brian Kelly took a page out of Lane Kiffin’s book on how to treat your former school. It wasn’t enough for Kelly to abandon his undefeated team and leave his players coachless weeks before the Allstate Sugar Bowl, but now he is working on swiping his Cincy recruits. Since the weakest and most questionable spot on Notre Dame’s depth chart is the QB position, Kelly decided to turn to his old stomping grounds to rectify the...
Because there aren’t enough college football awards, the Louisville Sports Commission announced the creation of the Paul Hornung Award. This award will be given annually to the nation’s most versatile college football player. For those of you who don’t recognize the name, you have to dig deep into Notre Dame history. Paul Hornung, nicknamed the “Golden Boy,” was one of the greatest players to ever play the game and certainly the greatest coming out of South Bend. When I...
It looks like Notre Dame’s star wide receiver is not immune to the law, even in his home state. This past Thursday at a house party near the frozen lakes of Minnesota, Michael Floyd was pounding some beers and drinking a couple of shots with his hometown pals. Apparently during the festivities, a fight involving 6-10 people broke out and spilled into the streets (at the intersection of 15th Av. SE and 6th St. SE) and Floyd wanted to...
The son of a legend returns to Notre Dame (again). Joe Montana convinced his son to return to the Irish as there is a great opportunity for Nate Montana to take some snaps under center. With the early departure of Jimmy Clausen and the knee injury to Dayne Crist, Brian Kelly is looking for a strong arm to run his offense. With no real prospects in sight, the job is wide open to anyone. In the first go-around, Montana saw very...
