Bless his heart.

Didn't Woody get wind that he was engaging in shady shit on the recruiting trail and fire him in a hotel lobby on a road trip? If that's correct that's right up there with getting Kiffin'd on a tarmac.

I'm kinda old and forgetful. How many times has Lou Holz picked ND when they played the Bucks? And how many of those games have the Bucks won?
And more germane to this conversation, what is Coach Day's record against ND?
Sort of makes you question the relevance of Holz's opinion, doesn't it?

Cooper was 2-0
Urban and Tressel were each 1-0
Ryan "Pontius Pilot" Day is now 3.0

Has anyone heard from him? Is he back living under a bridge with his pot of gold (yes, I am mixing things).

This all may be true. However, the Irish started 2-0 against the Buckeyes when @BB73 was like 32 years old and they had a really good time consuming drive in the national championship. Did you ever consider that?

Yep.
1995 - Eddie and Terry Glenn running all over them.
1996 - I think this was an early lead, where the Irish came back and made it close-ish.
2005 Fiesta Bowl - Ohio State set a record of most yards Notre Dame ever gave up.
2015 Fiesta Bowl - Lopsided game until Bosa was ejected for targeting. Notre Dame's offense picked up after that.
2022 - Stroud struggled for a little bit and then receivers started to get open.
2023 - Close game came down to the last play.
2024 - I don't remember this game at all. What happened?

Yep.

So not a decided schematic advantage?

I'm fuzzy on the details but I think @BB73 said he was at the game and that same year the duchess of Malfi was performed globe theater in London and Pocahantas had gotten married and some crazy person claimed to have invented the decimal mark. I dunno

I’ve been pissed at the Irish since St. Patrick got rid of the snakes. The rodent problem got a lot worse then, but Paddy always did like his gerbils.

It should be called an Irish rat trap, but it’s easy to blame the Dutch for anything.

I thought this was all metaphor for "slaughtered the Druids" -- well except the rat trap thing, which I'm pretty sure was the Dutch in Ireland.
