One of the big things we all missed last year with the wild college football season was the big rivalries that we’ve been accustomed to. One of those big rivalries we missed was Notre Dame and USC, due to the fact that it was only conference play last season. So after a year off, Notre Dame is set to take on USC Saturday night in South Bend. When my Notre Dame fandom started in the 90s and into the early…
If we as Notre Dame fans have leaned anything in the first half of the season, it’s that we are in for a wild ride. This past Saturday vs Va Tech was no different. In front of a sold out wild crowd in Blacksburg, the Fighting Irish fought back from being down more than once to pull out a last-second win with another Jonathan Doerer game-winning field goal.
