Playing 10 Power 5 conference teams, and that traditional foe Navy with their option, traveling from coast to coast, playing a schedule palatable to NBC execs and the polls, presents many challenges to Coach Brian Kelly and his staff..Most weeks, if ND is not ready, they can lose,and that is the cost of independence...its why NFL teams, the best of em, lose 2-3-4 games per yr...if you'rE knocking heads every week, with a power 5 , you're probably going to lose.. Its why ND almost lost to PITT..
Im still celebrating..and received many a "Go Irish" greeting yesterday out and about with my ND gear..
