Sleep well Irish fans, Audric Estime had a monster game. (Notre Dame-UNC post game thoughts)

What a day! What a day! Final score Notre Dame 45, North Carolina 32. Great day to be an Irish fan. Thank God Notre Dame showed up in this much needed come-to-Jesus game. After exorcizing all the demons last week against California, it was great to see Marcus Freeman get his first away victory as head coach for Notre Dame. What was even better to … Continue reading Sleep well Irish fans, Audric Estime had a monster game. (Notre Dame-UNC post game thoughts)

Indiana takes first loss in Cincy after a game tighter than the score would suggest. (Indiana football post game thoughts)

Well Hoosier fans, 3-0 was pretty great. Now we find ourselves at 3-1. Boy did the Hoosiers sure look like they may begin to make the 4th victory push of the season thanks to the Shivers touchdown and subsequent stop by the Indiana defense to start off the 4th quarter. Starting that game with a Bazelak overthrown interception wasn’t the best. Just like he’s been … Continue reading Indiana takes first loss in Cincy after a game tighter than the score would suggest.

Someone has to be the standard for football in this state. Hoosiers going for 4-0. (IU-Cincy short pregame thoughts)

For the Glory! LET’S GO AND GET IT TOMORROW HOOSIERS! Cincinnati will be a madhouse as the Hoosiers travel to take down the Bearcats. This is going to be a big game for both teams, for different reasons. Both team’s looking to bring their A-game in this one. Unfortunately, Luke Fickell and the Bearcats are not going to allow Tom Allen and the Hoosiers a … Continue reading Someone has to be the standard for football in this state. Hoosiers going for 4-0.

Lines shifting towards Notre Dame. Here’s hoping we have an offense tomorrow (ND-UNC short pregame thoughts)

Well, apparently a lot of Notre Dame fans are feeling pretty optimistic in tomorrow’s matchup with North Carolina. Our matchup with the Tar Heels tomorrow opened in Vegas with UNC the 6.5 point favorite (meaning they thought they’d win by a touchdown). I try to make it clear for those reading not understanding Vegas talk. Now a day prior to kickoff Notre Dame finds themselves … Continue reading Lines shifting towards Notre Dame.

Let’s talk about North Carolina’s offense instead of ours… (3 players to watch out for on UNC)

Feeling a little better after the win this week? I still am entirely disheartened by our offense but I have to say each day I am farther from the Marshall game, I believe I am a little happier. The California win was okay, but now that we got the first win, I need Marcus Freeman’s first good win. A win against UNC would be a … Continue reading Let’s talk about North Carolina’s offense instead of ours… (3 players to watch out for on UNC)

3 Bearcats looking to dash my hopes of a 4-0 Indiana Hoosiers team

Alright Hoosier Nation, We got a big one this week folks!!! Look for the Cincinnati Bearcats to come out harder than any of the teams we have played prior. Each week I look into the Hoosiers’ opponent and see which playmakers the Hoosiers will have highlighted come Saturday. This week’s opponent is packing some serious heat. The Cincinatti Bearcats are entering Saturday looking to make … Continue reading 3 Bearcats looking to dash my hopes of a 4-0 Indiana Hoosiers team

Indiana Football continues tradition of frustratingly exhilarating football. We are 3-0 Hoosier fans!

Every time. Every dang time… I always get my hopes up and think I’m going to see anything other than what I’ve witnessed all my life, why should now be any different. It can never just be easy. It must always be a rollercoaster ride, that somehow this year has kept concluding with a happy ending. It’s a fun time to be a Hoosier fan. … Continue reading Indiana Football continues tradition of frustratingly exhilarating football. We are 3-0 Hoosier fans!

Marcus Freeman exhales, as Notre Dame wins their first. (Notre Dame short Week 3 postgame thoughts)

Good lord, we got one! That game ended with the single largest exhale I think Notre Dame has had in a while. Marcus Freeman has been feeling all the pressure since his abysmal start to his Notre Dame head coaching tenure. Marcus absolutely needed his first win out of this one, and boy did we really try to let the Golden Bears continue the woes … Continue reading Marcus Freeman exhales, as Notre Dame wins their first.

After Marshall ripped our hearts out, let’s see if Drew Pyne can do better. (Short Notre Dame-California pregame thoughts)

So… How was your week?… Well in case you were wondering, I just got back the courage to say anything about my thoughts heading into the California game because my thoughts heading into the Marshall game were me pretty much highlighting 3 Marshall players who then proceeded to outcompete, outplay, and outperform the Irish at every given point in last Saturday’s heartbreaking (and very eye-opening … Continue reading After Marshall ripped our hearts out, let’s see if Drew Pyne can do better.

Indiana sits at 2-0 and doesn’t have to play until midnight this game! (Indiana-WKU pregame thoughts)

Heading into this Saturday’s matchup I just have to say thank Christ! Thank Christ (or BTN) the Hoosiers have a noon kickoff. My favorite days in all my time attending Indiana University were the noon tailgate days. Wake up, head to breakfast club at Kilroy’s, stumble on over to the tailgate fields, commence to party even harder, stumble into the game, root my tail off, … Continue reading Indiana sits at 2-0 and doesn’t have to play until midnight this game!
