Earlier this week, one of those RT-bait Tweets designed to promote response turned up in our Slack discussion. It was right in our wheelhouse. Here it is: Question of the day: Name your favorite game where your team won, but it didn't involve a championship of any kind AND didn't involve your biggest rival. *Bama [...]
We continue our celebration of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse graduates with a chat with attackman Stephen Chase! World events kept us from the chance to follow this team on its journey to a national championship, so ND-Atl 2.0 will instead use the time he would have spent writing previews and recaps to catch [...]
In all the years you've been reading our fair site, have we ever told you when we first set foot in the hallowed halls of the House That Rockne Built? Now the truth will come out. A couple of weeks ago our staffers got caught up in a digression in our Slack discussion, as we [...]
Rock may not be dead but it certainly isn't very popular anymore. Take a look over the Billboard list of best-selling albums of 2019 and there are a total of zero traditional rock bands among the top 100. The closest you can get to something in the neighborhood is the pop rock of Panic! At [...]
Welcome back to the Hall of Fame Series here on 18Stripes. If you want to read the prior posts to get a better understand you can go here. Today, we go to the backbone of the 2002 “Return to Glory” season, the defense. This player would become one of the leaders of the defense and [...]
We continue our celebration of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse graduates with a chat with defenseman (and Atlantan) Charlie Trense! World events kept us from the chance to follow this team on its journey to a national championship, so ND-Atl 2.0 will instead use the time he would have spent writing previews and recaps [...]
In this time of uncertainty, we college football fans are probably spending more time than usual looking at the past. Part of this is opportunity - there's nothing but time on our hands, and for sports fans used to filling that time with games, there aren't any of those. Another is that plenty of folks [...]
The greatest musical artists of all-time made mistakes. No, I'm not talking about the intrusion of Yoko Ono or the decision to spend 8 minutes and 22 seconds of precious Beatles record space with "Revolution 9." Those are both low-hanging fruit that everyone talks about. I've got other more intriguing things to talk about. As [...]
Welcome back to the Hall of Fame Series here on 18Stripes. After the last couple of posts talking about the best players in modern Notre Dame history that can never make the College Football Hall of Fame due to external circumstances. Today, we begin our journey through the 21st Century of Irish greats who have [...]
We continue our celebration of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse seniors with a chat with defenseman Jacob Kanak! World events kept us from the chance to follow this team on its journey to a national championship, so ND-Atl 2.0 (today with help from 18 Stripes original writer Whiskey) will instead use the time he [...]
I grew up playing travel hockey which means hundreds of hours in a car listening to the radio. Remember listening to music on the radio? As a kid, I digested a wide palette in Western New York from 97 Rock, Kiss 98.5, and Oldies 104. A little mixture of The Who, MC Hammer, and The [...]
Welcome back to the summer series on Notre Dame players in the College Football Hall of Fame. For the introduction of the purpose of the series, go here. Last time we went over the truly great seasons that were not recognized by All-American teams, and therefore making them ineligible for the College Hall of Fame. [...]
In case you missed it, we rated the very best trophies in sports and now we turn to the very worst. In the wide world of sports there are some amazing trophies presented to players and what we cover here today are the black sheep of champions. Some are overrated, some ugly, and some well [...]
We continue our celebration of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse seniors with a chat with LSM Eric Restic! World events kept us from the chance to follow this team on its journey to a national championship, so ND-Atl 2.0 will instead use the time he would have spent writing previews and recaps to catch [...]
For the purposes of this content today I needed to establish some parameters. Since this is primarily a college football blog I need to point out that rivalry trophies are not included in today's list. The good reason for that is the sheer amount of college football rivalry hardware that would need to be combed [...]
