Well, everyone, the festivities for the best holiday of the year are now just about wrapped up, and it’s time to focus on Saturday.
Actually, I lied. Happy Honday Days doesn’t end until January 8th.
Still, with the Camping World Bowl now just two days away, fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team turn their entire attention to Saturday’s match-up with the Iowa St. Cyclones, a 7-5 team just a few points from having gone something like 9-3 or 10-2 themselves.
As ND tries to win 11 games in a season for just the third time in 26 years (2nd time if you’re going to be technical about it and say 2012’s record no longer exists), it will have to face off against a Big 12 team with lots of offensive firepower, a talented young coach, and a desire to prove themselves on a national stage against a blue blood program.
