Hello darkness, my old friend. After hearing about how Notre Dame was going to get rolled by Clemson in the playoffs and trying to figure out how the Irish were going to shock the world, the Irish fell apart on the national stage once again on Saturday. This time the Irish got pushed around 30-3 by Clemson in their first appearance in the College Football Playoff. Not much went right for Notre Dame yesterday in another game that is going to sting for Irish fans for a long, long time.
I waited until the morning after for this column because I just couldn’t bring myself to put pen to paper after a disappointing performance, but it’s time to crack open the 6-pack.
