I have been watching Notre Dame football almost religiously for the last ~20 years. I am an avid college football fan (I would watch over the NFL any day), I typically watch a Big 10 game, then ND, then the game on ESPN or ABC depending on who is playing. It annoys my wife to no end, trust me. I'm also a huge Cubbies fan, but I am not sure if they have the pieces in 2009...
Notre Dame needs to get over itself. The days of being "Independent" are over. Personally, I'd like to see every team be independent. Every year you...

Not with the rumors about an NFL salary structure....if Clausen stays, he could be giving up...
BT -- Here are this week's losers: 1. Texas A&M. Mike Sherman could be out and A&M embarks on yet another coaching search. Meanwhile, Colt McCoy...

Weis has been great on his fundamentals with his QB and receivers, worked well with Ianello....
What would be even worse for the BCS is if Florida or Alabama lose this weekend and then beat the other in the SEC championship game....

Jim, Great insight. You're right. It has the potential to get real ugly. I might be...
