Full disclosure: I hate talking about conference realignment.

Our Notre Dame Fighting Irish hammered the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes 15-6 this past Sunday. It was a game dominated by the Irish for nearly the entire time. It was a great way to start the tournament. Just as Iosef Tarasov found out when he killed John Wick’s dog, just because a great isn’t on [...]
