Brawling Hibernian: 2009 Notre Dame Season Preview: Pessimism Prevails

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2009/07/2009.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. 2009 Notre Dame Season Preview: Pessimism Prevails. The talk of Irish fans heading into the 2009 season is the prospect of an amazing, redemptive, 10-win plus season. I'm not sold. Maybe it's my natural Irish pessimism (or contrarianism), maybe it's the many times my hopes have wilted under ND's failures to deliver on expectations throughout the years; whatever it is, I just don't see this season being an overwhelming success. For th...

With a new season just around the corner, Brawling Hibernian provides the Irish faithful with insight into the fans who be looking across the parking lot at them this year. Completely Fake Word That Best Describes Them:. Sure, it looks gruesome, but it's still better than Gary Coleman in 'Guys and Dolls'.

Game of the Week. Laquo; April 2006. August 2006 ». July 27, 2006. Posted by Jimmy Atkinson. Sorry if this is nothing more than a shameless plug. Although I do think you diehard Notre Dame fans may find it useful. My senior year roommate Andy Hagans and I are currently developing DomeWire. I'd be curious to learn what you all think of this idea. Feel free to post comments here. Posted at 11:40 PM. July 18, 2006. Posted by Jimmy Atkinson. Okay, time to call in the reinforcements.

Brawling Hibernian: December 2008

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Happy Christmas (Losing Streak Is Over). As mentioned in the title of this post (with apologies to John Lennon), Notre Dame's nine-game, 15-year exercise in bowl futility has finally come to an end. Many have opined that getting this monkey off their back will provide a boost for the Irish program. I have absolutely no idea if that's true or not, but I can say that, as a fan, it feels terrific. How long was this streak? Between Cl...

Brawling Hibernian: The Case For Bob Stoops

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2009/11/case-for-bob-stoops.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Monday, November 16, 2009. The Case For Bob Stoops. As much this weekend and, for our purposes, we'll assume that's accurate. With that, here's what makes Stoops such an intriguing choice:. He is young (49). Stoops has successfully led a major college football program for over a decade winning a national championship (2000) and six conference championships (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008). Coaching at the school which owns the NCAA record for longest win...

Bravely picks us up out of the ashes of the Pitt loss and into UConn week:. 1 The Pitt loss: give me something good about it, something bad about it, and something ugly about it. 2 UConn this week. Does the sellout streak end? Do you care if it does end? And if it does, does this have any meaning beyond it being the end of yet another ND streak durin...

Brawling Hibernian: Goodbye, Charlie

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2009/11/goodbye-charlie.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Saturday, November 7, 2009. First off, congrats to the Naval Academy's football team. They're a fine group of young men and represent our country with unbelievable class, distinction and valor. Now, on to the tough stuff. Charlie Weis needs to go. He seems like a nice. With that out of the way, a few assorted game notes:. This defense is bad.real bad. Yes, I know Navy's triple-option is complicated, but it wasn't even a contest out there. A bunch...Harrison ...

Brawling Hibernian: Reflections On Negativity: A Preview Reconsidered

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2009/07/reflections-on-negativity-preview.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Reflections On Negativity: A Preview Reconsidered. The other day, I put up my 2009 season preview and, admittedly, ended up being a bit negative in handicapping the Irish prospects this season. While exceptionally talented, this squad has yet to prove itself consistently. Did Weis plateau in 2006? Can he take this program to the next level? I do think that every one of these is valid and will need to be addressed during the course of t...

Sure, Christmas, Easter, and even Thanksgiving, get all the credit, but Halloween just quietly goes out and produces. Think about it. Do people get stressed out over Halloween shopping?

Brawling Hibernian: The Curtain Closes

http://brawlinghibernian.blogspot.com/2009/11/curtain-closes.html

Bare-Knuckled Coverage of Notre Dame Football. Saturday, November 21, 2009. At this point, there's no use going over the actual events in the game. The reasons for this loss are the same as the losses which preceeded it. Instead, a few quick hitters on bigger pictures items:. For whatever it's worth, Oklahoma got pummeled, 41-13, by Texas Tech today. I would have to imagine in light of his loss and Notre Dame's impending opening, the Irish might look like a pretty solid option to Bob Stoops. Thanks for t...
