    PROVIDENCE @ ST FRANCIS - Factual Read

    I am a bit surprised that a ref would tell the defense to not make contact in that situation, when SF was taking a knee. Not saying that it didn't happen though. I was in a similar situation, with my team clearly taking a knee. The defense played it full go, & I asked the ref why he let that...

    Naz Posse question??

    How are the visiting bleachers? I haven't been there in a few years, but I recall that they weren't very wide or high. Is it better to bring a chair & settle in near an end zone, or will the bleachers be okay? I plan on getting there before the first game, so I should have my pick of spots.

    Season that was a letdown for your team?

    Your memory serves you very well except one slight change. Wheaton had first possession in overtime. After the dropped pass, ND ran 3 inside dives, then kicked the field goal for the win. Also of note, that quarterback was coach Thorne's son. It was the right call, as he did hit a wide open...

    ND Future

    It would appear that they already have his successor in the building. The D-Coordinator, Dan DeFranza has been there for probably 20+ years. He is an alum. He works in the building as a teacher.

    Overseas Recruits

    I was in college (D3) in the late 80's / early 90's. We had several players from Canada. Since high school is 5 years up there, these guys would basically come in as 20 year old true freshman. As this was D3, these guys weren't superstars, but you could tell that the extra year gave them a...

    NAIA schools, same as Div III?

    Not sure if it is like this anymore, but one of the things that NAIA had going for it was that it did not have the "strict" academic requirements that NCAA had. For those students that could not qualify right away, but were also not good enough for the university to risk breaking rules for, it...

    Pats hires new HC

    Should be an easy transition for him from a rivalry standpoint, as the article points out that, as a USC grad, he apparently doesn't care for ND. That will serve him well in his new rivalry with the boys from Niles.

    Would a Conference containing a mix of both Public & Private Schools work?

    Though not a Catholic school, LFA is a private school, which fits into the conference similarly to other Catholic schools.

    CSN Countdown to Kickoff: Notre Dame

    I was mistaken. I mixed up Thornton & Thornridge. Pat Jennings of Thornridge was on the '80 Gordon State Championship team, of which Hennessey was an assistant coach for Coach Winecki.

    CSN Countdown to Kickoff: Notre Dame

    I believe that the head coach at Thornton played at Gordon when Hennessey was an assistant there. Hennessey may be doing him a favor to help fill the schedule.

    Rankings: Best Pizza in Illinois

    I am a northsider, but my wife is from Oak Lawn (Richards grad). For years, every time we were at her mothers, she would order Palermo's. Not a bad pizza, but not my favorite. I had a friend ask if I had tried Phil's. I brought it up one time at the in-laws & they said they used to order...

    2016 ESCC SHEDULE??

    Not that I am trying to push him out at Loyola, but if he is looking to make a move to the next level, I can't imagine his stock would get much higher than it will be if they win state this year. You have to strike while the iron is hot.

    ESCC Week 9 Predictions

    That is incorrect. ND beat JC 7-6 in 1989 as well.
