Today we travel back in time to Christmas Eve 2008 for a wondrous event that ended the longest bowl losing streak in NCAA history. Huzzah to the Weis era! If you're like me this game was broadcast right after dinner on the East Coast which meant it inevitably fell during prime present opening time with [...]
Today we venture back to Senior Day in 1990 for the last time Notre Dame was #1 in the country during the regular season* for consecutive weeks. This would be just the 3rd loss in 35 games and a bit lost to history because the previous 2 defeats were devastating--and the fourth loss upcoming during [...]
Today we take a trip back to 2006 and the date is September 9th in the second weekend of the season. The Irish had traveled back from Atlanta in the season opener scraping by with a gutty 14-10 victory over Georgia Tech that nearly derailed the season in a big way. The following Saturday they [...]
With the passing of the most recent spring game I wanted to take a dive into the YouTube archives and look at older spring games. I stumbled across the 2010 edition and thought it was a good time to look back at Brian Kelly's first few months in charge in South Bend. Everything about this [...]
Today we travel back in time to 1982 for the first game with yours truly gracing earth's presence. I was a wee little 8 months old and since I wasn't a genius alien baby who can remember this game I wanted to take a look at what was then just the 16th matchup against Michigan [...]
Today we take a trip in the YouTube machine back to 1999 during Oklahoma's first trip back to South Bend since '66 and the first game with the Irish since 1968. And hey, it's the first season under then 39-year old head coach Bob Stoops! Quick aside, this game really was a poor example of [...]
I freaking love Randy Moss, always have. In the fall of 1998 I went away to school and became best friends with a kid from Wayzata, Minnesota who bled Vikings purple and gold. Watching him watch Moss lead the league in receiving touchdowns as a rookie is one of my fondest football memories before adulthood. [...]
We are opening up the YouTube vault today for what is and what surely should remain the shortest video in our series history. It's late August of 2002 and the opening of a new era, the Tyrone Willingham era. This season in a vacuum is just...man...where do you even start? How about the old Kickoff [...]
Today, we head into the YouTube archives to journey back to the 1971 college football season during the Era of Ara. The Fighting Irish were operating throughout the first half of this season on a whole different level than the competition, especially defensively. On their way to a 5-0 start only 16 total points were [...]
Today we travel back to the late autumn of 1992, the scene, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Our protagonists the Fighting Irish come in 8-1-1 with a frustrating tie to Michigan and a home loss to the best Stanford team in half a century. The antagonists Southern Cal come in 6-2-1 with losses to UCLA and [...]
