That’s the losing streak for Notre Dame in Major/Alliance/Coalition/BCS/New Years Six Bowl Games. It’s been over thirty years. This streak has been an albatross around the neck/monkey on the back/snake dangling from the teat. It has sucked. Despite these bowl games losing prestige over the years, the specter of the streak has lingered. Notre Dame can’t beat the big boys in the big match ups. It’s an ethos many Irish haters have adopted and they readily point to this streak as primary evidence. It doesn’t help that most of these contests have been miserable affairs. How bad?
