Luckily, Jesus Is On His Side
Rumors and Rants — I feel bad for totally missing the boat on this one since Notre Dame is in my back yard and I actually covered a Notre Dame baseball game Tuesday.

Turnaround Season Not Impossible
irishbandofbrothers.blogspot.com 4/10/2008 — Coming off a 3-9 season doesn't give much hope to Irish fans that Notre Dame can turn their 2007 misfortunes into GOLD in 2008.
