Here's the Good News For Notre Dame Fans

Notre Dame continues to extend its lead on the ALL-TIME WINNING % in college football history -- over that school in Ann Arbor -- since the start of the season.  Michigan lost to Maryland yesterday to go 5 - 6 on the season:

• NOTRE DAME:  73.2% 
• Michigan:  73.0%

On a day when you might think all is lost -- just look north...

It's Time To Look Ahead to the USC Game...

 

The last six weeks of Notre Dame football have been difficult for everyone involved.

• FSU: The offensive pass interference call that took a win away
• BYE WEEK:  More time to think about the pass interference call
• NAVY:  Blowing a large lead and escaping with a win
• ASU:  Murphy's Law
• NORTHWESTERN:  Murphy's Law
• LOUISVILLE:  More of the same

So, now we travel to the WEST COAST for a game between two 7 - 4 squads. USC is smarting from a pasting by the crosstown Bruins last night and we're coming off of a stretch we'd like to forget...

To add insult to injury -- late last night, ABC moved the start time of the game to 3:30 PM ET -- a game that is always in PRIME TIME on Thanksgiving Weekend...
