It's a Mistake
Three games into the 2008 season, we are starting to get answers to some of our preseason questions. Has the team improved from last season? Absolutely. Is the team as good as it needs to be? No way. Is it exceeding expectations? Well, that depends on your expectations. There seems to be a lot of hand-wringing over the loss to Michigan State, but the fact is that the Irish are 2-1. Repeat that three more times, and the team is 8-4 with a likely More...

Notes from a Win
During the 35-17 win over Michigan, I spied the following... 1. The much-maligned Asaph Schwapp deserves a Gatorade shower.

Something's developing
We're better without a fullback and spreading the field (though Schwapp is blocking much better.) It simplifies the blocking assignments and gives us many opportunities to win one on one match-ups with our talented wide receivers. It also opens the field for Allen. As Kayo noted, it seemed we were able to use the snap count to our advantage. More...

Odds & Sods: Pool Deck Edition
Thoughts from Saturday's game (besides how much I miss John L. Smith at MSU): Up against the wall. One of the reasons I predicted an MSU victory in our season predictions, was that I expected Dantonio would have the patience, and Ringer and his blockers would have the ability, to wear down the Irish front seven. For fifty-five minutes, the Irish defense held up fairly well against the Spartans' persistent running game. Justin Brown played well, More...
