    Ohio State Beats Notre Dame – Improbable Win & Remaining Undefeated

    You’re not supposed to win games when there’s less than a minute to go and your team is down by 8 points.

    College Football – Oklahoma vs Notre Dame Predictions

    The meteoric rise for Notre Dame from huge disappointment to BCS team last year hasn’t resulted in an improvement this season, but a win over Oklahoma can steady the ship that hasn’t been looking too stable on both offense or defense this season.

  • College Football – Notre Dame Don’t Want to Play Ohio State

    College Football – Notre Dame Don’t Want to Play Ohio State

    In their attempts to create a non-conference schedule that will fill the stadium and their pockets from higher ticket prices, Ohio State have constantly tried to agree on a series with Notre Dame, only to have the Fighting Irish turn them down again and again.
