Notre Dame Fighting Irish Halfway Report Card (3-3)

Well, Notre Dame checks in at the halfway point at 3-3.  Meh.  Not horrific, but certainly not good.  Let’s take a quick look at the Notre Dame Report Card: Coaching:  C – Haven’t really seen a ton out of Brian Kelly in terms of GameDay coaching.  Not being prepared in full for the fake field [...]

More Brey

I’m sure at least a few of you have seen Kayo’s discussion of the ND basketball program.  It’s a pretty good analysis.  However, I think he misses the point.  He compares Brey only with Big East coaches, and discusses how many limits there are on ND compared to other Big East coaches.  But he failed [...]

So it begins

As everyone in America almost certainly now knows (Charlie’s firing was even the NYTimes top story for a while this afternoon), Charlie is packing up the office today.  I feel bad for the big guy, as I think he was a hard worker and showed that ND could still recruit with the best programs in [...]

Pitt

Well, I think we’ve all been pretty busy.  Law school is taking all of my time, JoePa has an FBGF, rsand is rsand (I’m not even sure what that means), and dogolfer got a job, so he has even less time on his hands.  So, we haven’t been posting.  Sorry about that.  Anyways, Weis is [...]

Where ND Stands

Well, 4 yards short from sending that game into OT.  I’m not saying that ND would have won in OT, but it would have been nice to have had a chance to beat them in the extra period when ND would have been riding the momentum.  But ND came up short.  So close, but no [...]

Beat Southern Cal

Don’t know if you heard or not, but there is a HUGE game on Saturday.  USC, or, as they hate to be called these days, Southern Cal, is coming to town and trying to continue their recent dominance of the Irish.  We all remember the crappy 38-3 loss last season, and the 38-0 loss in [...]

USC Week – Midseason Report

The Irish are just before the actual midway point of the season.  The Irish stand 4-1  after 5 games of their 12 game schedule.  However, since this was the teams bye week, it feels like it was the actual halfway point.  So, in a way, we are at the beginning of the second half of [...]

Another Close W

It appears that ND wants to make a habit of winning games at the end.  Actually, besides Nevada, every game has come down to the closing minutes.  This is surely not the season Weis was hoping for in terms of making it seem like his job is secure.  With that said, the Irish stand at [...]

Rinse & Repeat

Sorry that there was no game recap and this is a late preview.  I’ve had a busy week interviewing for jobs for next summer (4 interviews, 4 days, 2 cities) and evidently the rest of the basement has been pretty busy as well. Notre Dame goes into another big game.  As I said last week, [...]

One “Must” Win Game at a Time

Is this really a “must” win game for the Irish?  Aren’t all games “must” win when you are not in a conference and therefore success is based on national championships and BCS appearances?  Probably.  But I am of the mind set that every game remaining on the schedule is even more of a “must” win [...]

Bleacher Report’s open letter to Weis

You should read this article.  It’s a good article that expresses what we here at tgiab.com have talked about over the last year as we have evaluated Charlie.  Just something to think about before we do a preview for MSU. Go Irish! Beat Spartans!

One that Got Away

If there was ever a game that you just felt that ND would win, it was this one.  Notre Dame moved the ball well in all but the third quarter.  There, a turnover and a holding penalty on Sam Young harmed the Irish’s chance of creating any momentum.  Twice, Notre Dame fell behind by 11 [...]

Game Preview: Notre Dame @ Michigan.

In a game that had little significance 7 days ago, the Notre Dame v. Michigan game may be one of the most hyped/watched games of the weekend.  It is a classic case of embattled coaches butting up against each other.  For the winner: a 2 and 0 start, top 20 AP ranking, and, albeit slim, [...]

Good Article about the Season on Yahoo

Thought that this article was pretty good and worth a read.  Hopefully, ND will go out and win the next few weeks, and do so in impressive fashion.  ND looked great this weekend.  Hopefully, they are.  But until they show a few more games of awesomeness, I still want them to speak softly, carry a [...]

2010… Guest Columnist

This is Leroy’s debut guest post on tgiab, and he has a prediction for 2010.  Its based on a very clear formula that was derived after many beers in the lots of both ND Stadium and Folsom Field in Boulder, and its pretty much the safest bet you’ll ever make.  I’ll let Leroy take it [...]
