Happy Festivus: Airing of Notre Dame Grievances!

I find tinsel distracting.

Happy Festivus!

For those who are fans of Seinfeld I don’t need to say anything more but for those who aren’t, and who are unaware of Festivus, here’s a quick summary:

Celebrated annually on December 23 as an alternative to the the pressures and commercialism of Christmas.

Traditions for this holiday include Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Fesitvus pole, the “Feats of Strength”, and “Airing of Grievances”.

Since an unadorned pole would be hard to write about and wrestling someone can be hard to pull off through written word, let’s instead focus on the Airing of Grievances when it comes to Notre Dame football.

In a year that has seen some incredible highs, I have no doubt we all have some things we feel the need to get some things off our chests.  I’ll begin with a few of mine and you can share yours on any social media platform, too.

Davidson College induce a Stephen Curry al Hall of Fame, le hace fiesta de graduación y retira su número

Cuando eres el mejor en lo que haces, no hay mucho que los demás no harían por ti. Cuando eres una celebridad de la lista del top, la gente hará lo que sea para hacer que tu vida sea aún mejor. Cuando eres un ser humano increíble, esas dos cosas son …

Cuando eres el mejor en lo que haces, no hay mucho que los demás no harían por ti.

Cuando eres una celebridad de la lista del top, la gente hará lo que sea para hacer que tu vida sea aún mejor.

Cuando eres un ser humano increíble, esas dos cosas son aún más ciertas.

¿Y qué pasa cuando reúnes los tres puntos, como la súper estrella de la NBA Stephen Curry?

Ahí es cuando pareciera que tienes el mundo en la palma de tu mano y las cosas que la gente llega a hacer por ti son impensables. Así que no debería sorprendernos de que el Davidson College le hiciera su propia ceremonia de graduación a Steph este miércoles.

Solo para él, para nadie más.

Traducción: Davidson está teniendo una ceremonia de graduación completa y verídica para Curry, él es el único graduado.

 

Para que tengan un poco de contexto, Curry se saltó su último año de universidad y se salió de Davidson para perseguir una carrera en la NBA. Este mayo, él finalizó su carrera, pero no pudo llegar a la ceremonia de graduación debido a esta cosa conocida como los playoffs de la NBA.

Así que el miércoles tuvo su propia ceremonia de graduación. Steph no solo logró graduarse, sino que la universidad también retiró su número y lo indujo al Salón de la Fama de Davidson Athletics.

Traducción: Stephen Curry haciendo reportándose desde @DavidsonCollege.

 

Traducción: Los Curry.
#CurryPara3

 

Traducción: ¡Ha llegado el graduado!
#CurryPara3

 

Traducción: Steph Curry, ¡el graduado!
Davidson College

 

¡Felicidades al Chef Curry!

Watch: Notre Dame strength coach Matt Balis says why he’s staying

The Irish have the lifelong loyalty of at least one of their coaches.

Notre Dame has lost some coaches since the 2021 season ended. Although just about everyone not named Brian Kelly stuck around for the Fiesta Bowl, it was unreasonable to think that would stay the same in 2022. After all, some were looking to move on, and it afforded the opportunity for Marcus Freeman to pick his own coaches to fill the gaps. One coach not going anywhere is director of football performance Matt Balis, and he explained why as he spoke with the media:

Balis will be entering his sixth season with the Irish, and it’s great to know he doesn’t plan on going anywhere. That sense of loyalty hopefully will ensure that Freeman and any other head coach that comes through South Bend in the years to come won’t want him to leave. But whatever happens, Balis can be happy that he landed his dream job, which is something that everyone aspires to achieve.

Fiesta Bowl Preview: Things to know about Oklahoma State

Saddle up, partner.

Notre Dame will attempt to end their streak of losses in major bowl games and turn the tides of their luck in the Fiesta Bowl as they’ve fallen in their last four trips to the game.

Will Marcus Freeman’s first game as head coach be the end of the difficult streak for Notre Dame and will the Irish win their first major bowl game since January of 1994?

If so, they’ll have to get through one of the best defenses in the nation in Oklahoma State.  Here are some things and people to be familiar with in regards to the Cowboys:

Notre Dame’s updated national bowl projections

Would you prefer Atlanta or Phoenix for New Years?

A 31-16 win over USC moved No. 11 Notre Dame to 6-1 on the 2021 season as a favorable schedule awaits them to close the year.  Notre Dame won’t play another team who is currently ranked, although 5-2 Virginia is knocking on the door as they’re again in the “receiving votes” category of both the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 poll this week.

So where do the experts think Notre Dame will be headed this bowl season?

The loss to Cincinnati will be nearly impossible to overcome in terms of another College Football Playoff appearance, assuming absolute craziness doesn’t happen at least, but the Irish are being seen by more as a New Years Six team in this week’s look around the national bowl projections.

Which bowl games Notre Dame is projected to play in entering 2021 season

Where do you think the Irish will go bowling?

The season gets started tomorrow, week 0 brings us a mix intriguing contests, Illinois hosting Nebraska, and some odd scheduling, Southern Utah playing two games in the span of four days. With that in mind, bowl projections are flying all over the place and in an effort to make it easier for you, we’ve complied a few of the experts projections for where Notre Dame could be headed in late December or early January below.

A Notre Dame July Bowl Projection because why not?

We don’t know much about what the next college football season will look like but we do know it will be something none of us have ever seen before. It may seem a bit far-fetched but why not have some fun and take a peak at a Notre Dame bowl projection that was recently released.

As we’ve seen in the last few days the college football season is very much up in the air as conferences continue to announce they’re only playing themselves this fall.

We don’t know much about what the next college football season will look like but we do know it will be something none of us have ever seen before.

With that preface, 247Sports recently released their July edition of bowl projections and whatever formula they used for schedules, they have Notre Dame headed to what has been a fairly regular destination of late.

It falls short of the College Football Playoff that Notre Dame fans clearly desire but it’s still a marquee game against a marquee opponent.  The projection you ask?

Fiesta Bowl vs. Oregon

Although the specific bowl game doesn’t thrill me since we’ve all seen them already play there a bunch, the match-up certainly does.  Oregon enters the year with high expectations after a Rose Bowl win and top five finish last season.  If it’s not the College Football Playoff, it doesn’t get much better than this for the Irish.

It would be Notre Dame’s sixth ever appearance in the Fiesta Bowl which would move it to the second most common bowl game in Irish history as they’ve played in the Cotton Bowl eight times.  Notre Dame has also played in the Orange Bowl five times to date.

The game, as impossible as it may feel to happen this season, would mark just the third meeting between Notre Dame and Oregon.  The Irish blanked the Ducks 41-0 in their 1976 meeting in South Bend before the two played to a 13-13 tie in Eugene, in 1982.
