The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and bowl games. The history goes back to the Grandaddy of them all, a retirement, and then a new awakening. It also includes some of the worst football the Irish have been involved with in the past 25 years.
So why do we want it in a horrible year? Why do we need it?
I don’t know exactly, but instead of getting overly philosophical or analytical, we want it. If we are to compare every part of the program to schools like Alabama and Ohio State, we have to know that if they were in our shoes right now, they would be fighting hard for that crap bowl game that awaits the Notre Dame Fighting Irish should they win their final two games.
