Saying Good-Bye Turned Out Easy To Do!


31 - 0 -- was a game of firsts and a game of last...

The firsts -- this was the first shutout of Michigan in the games played between these two schools dating all the way back to 1887.  It was also the largest margin of victory for Notre Dame in this series.

And yes, it will be the LAST time these two schools will meet on the football field in the foreseeable future...

A game where Notre Dame was without FOUR STARTERS, three on defense -- turned out to be just perfect!

And to add insult to injury -- the shutout was the FIRST time a Michigan team has been shutout since 1984 -- a FBS record 365 straight games...

A great way to send Michigan home to Ann Arbor!

Protect This House! -- Sign Hung This Morning!


Just got the GO IRISH sign up this morning...  My home is ready for the game!

I have to confess in my haste to hang this up (by myself) -- I got all done, ran downstairs to admire my work and...  THE SIGN WAS HUNG UPSIDE DOWN!

Classic -- my neighbors must have had a few chuckles at my expense...
