Back in the early days of COVID during the spring and early summer of 2020, you may remember that there weren’t any sports actively going on (as if any of us could forget that nightmare). As a website primarily focused on, ya know, Notre Dame Fighting Irish sports...that obviously meant we had quotas to hit and content to product without much new subject matter to fuel our work.
Thus, it was a pretty weird but also an oddly fun time when the One Foot Down staff — along with writers at any and all other sports sites — were scratching and clawing for topics to write about, getting really creative and putting out some really different stuff.
