Notre Dame better cover its bases to avoid another upset loss at USC
Let's see if I've got this straight or crooked: Notre Dame needs one win to get to the national title game and Sports Illustrated puts the Irish on this week's cover? I don't believe in genies or goblins, but the SI cover jinx is real. If you don't...

1964 Notre Dame-USC epic strikingly similar to this year's matchup
It was Nov. 28, 1964, and it was easy to cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish came to the Coliseum with a 9-0 record, a No. 1 national ranking and a Heisman Trophy winner with a rags-to-riches story. It was to be the cherry on top of...

He says 'Bruins,' they say 'Go'
