Irish Stewed: Deconstructing Marve and Beating the Boilers
Let me be upfront about a couple things. First off, I probably like Purdue more than most Notre Dame fans; at the very least, I’m not as relentlessly condescending and pompous as some of my Irish peers when it comes to discussing the Boilermakers . My sister is a Purdue alum—two sisters actually attended, one [...]
Initial Impressions – Notre Dame 24, Purdue 21
Jimmy Clausen came off the bench to lead Notre Dame to its second fourth quarter comeback in as many weeks Saturday night with a 24-21 victory over the Boilermakers. The Irish didn’t have the services of Armando Allen and had Clausen for a little less than half the game, but were able to make a [...]
Frank’s Purdue Preview
Notre Dame looks to improve to 3-1 and inch back towards the top 25 this weekend as they travel to West Lafayette. The Irish will limp into Ross Ade Stadium though with a number of injuries that could limit Notre Dame against a very dangerous Purdue team. Notre Dame on Offense The Irish offense is [...]

Irish Stewed: The Spoilermakers
I have a confession to make: I don’t hate Purdue. Both my sisters attended the school, as well as at least a dozen of my high school friends. I still cherish my tattered “Go Ugly Early” sweatshirt from Harry’s Chocolate Shop, and I still rank the unmitigated debauchery of Breakfast Club during Purdue’s Grand Prix [...]
Final Review: Purdue
This week’s final review comes a little late after taking in last night’s Monday Night Football game from Lincoln Financial Field where my Birds beat the crap out of the Packers without their starting running back, #1 wide receiver, and #1 and 3 corners, but that’s another story all together. Anyway, lets get into my [...]
Post Game Report Card: Purdue
Quarterback Brady Quinn had a fairly average game stats-wise. 318 yards and two touchdowns is about what is expected of the senior quarterback these days even though a couple years ago most Irish fans would be raving about such numbers. What was nice to see out of Quinn, however, was his accuracy early on. He [...]
Purdue @ #12 Notre Dame Games Notes
Purdue @ #12 Notre Dame Games Notes I’ll get right to the bullets, but before I do I just want to say Notre Dame really needed this strong performance from their running game this week and they got it. With a real soft spot in the schedule coming up, I believe Darius Walker will get [...]
Aldridge’s Debut Will Have to Wait Another Week, At Least
Notre Dame, IN (UHND.com) – While highly touted freshman running back James Aldridge was cleared to play medically, head coach Charlie Weis decided against using the talented back this weekend against Purdue and hinted that didn’t give a definitive answer as to when he will see the field. Other than offensive tackle Sam Young, Aldridge [...]
McKnight Continues Comeback Tour
Notre Dame, IN (UHND.com) – After watching Maurice Stovall and Jeff Samardzija have breakout seasons a year ago from the sidelines a year ago, Rhema McKnight was champing at the bit to get into the offense Charlie Weis was building for Notre Dame. After five games, McKnight is the team’s leader in receptions, yards, and [...]
Walker Paces Improved Irish Ground Game
