Tough year for you but you knew it would be. Love the Around the League Update. It looks really good and you did a very nice job with the HTML. This looks really good my friend.

I agree...I like how you do the gameday thing...It would be cool if you did an entire 'gameday' write up

Underdog Irish Leave Norman Victorious!

NORMAN, Okla. - The Irish came into Norman as huge 2 score underdogs and left with their second win of the season and gave #7 ranked Sooners their first loss.

Notre Dame came into Saturday's contest knowing that they needed a big statement win to show that this year wasn't a bust. They got just that when the final whistle blew. The Irish fought hard all four quarters and through aggressive play calls on both sides of the ball were able to dictate the pace of the game. Their offense was able to move the ball in small chunks down the field. They didn't let fourth down stop them, going for it 6 times and converting 5 of those. The defense was able to rest and then when they were called on, they blitzed all day (Remember the Titans Defensive Strategy).

Oklahoma had the superior team on paper, but they seemed to be over looking the Irish. Perhaps next weeks Big 12 opener against TCU was distracting the Sooners, or maybe the rain storm, whatever it was, the Oklahoma offense was not prepared for the aggressive defense that the Irish brought with them. Notre Dame recorded 4 sacks in the game and should have had a pair of Ints if not for the wet ball conditions.

First Year Head Coach John Bax had this to say after the win, "I'm proud of our boys. We told them that we had one shoot of winning this game, and it was to get aggressive and never give up. They did just that today!"

The Irish now sit at 2-3 on the year and will match-up against three more ranked teams in a row, starting with Texas A&M in Arlington.

Many wondered if Coach Bax's seat was starting to warm up after the 1-3 start to the year and the Notre Dame AD denied any claims saying that they were going to give Coach Bax time to build the team. After this win over a top 10 team on the road, I would be surprised if Coach Bax's seat got very warm at all this first year.

Irish Take Another Thumping

ARLINGTON, Tex. - Texas A&M took note of what happened lat week in Norman, Oklahoma when the Irish upset the #7 Sooners. The Aggies were not going to fall victim to the aggressive Irish attack. Instead they stayed composed and moved the ball effortlessly up and down the field. The Irish had no answer for the Aggies offense, giving up 215 yards on the ground as well as 372 through the air.

Notre Dame Head Coach John Bax didn't have much to say after the loss. "I am disappointed that the team appears to have taken a step back after the win last week. They looked good all week in practice and the coaching staff and myself really thought they were turning a corner. I guess it is back to the drawing board."

The Irish loss had an eerily similar feel to the Michigan State loss a few weeks ago. Notre Dame was unable to get much of anything going offensively and defensively couldn't get the Aggies off the field.

Notre Dame now heads into a bye week with plenty of time to reflect on what went wrong and what to work on when #15 USC comes to town.
