Been watching ND football since the late 60's - many of the "WTF-type of losses", i.e. NIU........

being the latest, happen at Home, regardless of the HC. Just an observation - been to South Bend many X's for home game weekends - starting on Friday the campus environment becomes a "Catholic Disneyland!" w/pep rallies, football luncheons, stadium tours, etc. w/fans, players' families & their friends, are all over place - gotta believe this is a huge distraction for both the coaches and especially the players. We have enough data over the years to consider this.....if I'm MF, he needs to take his team way off campus after Thursday's practice (do their Friday walk through someplace else) and not return to campus until the pre-game Mass....
