MAKE THAT EIGHT YEARS OF POST-SEASON FUTILITY





Well, Dad, if you can somehow read this, then you're well aware of the ongoing futility that is Notre Dame Bowl football.

I've joked morbidly over the last couple of years that I'm glad you didn't live to see the erupting scandal in the 'hood, because it would've killed you. Eight bowl losses in a row would have just P****ed you off.

The only positive to come out of this latest one is that it gives this Bruin hope that the upcoming season's trip from Westwood to South Bend isn't doomed, by any stretch of the imagination.
