Happy “Selection Sunday” and welcome to March Madness, Fighting Irish Wire style. We may not have live sports to watch but we do have each other and that’s really all that matters at the end of the day.
We also have a bracket for our tournament here at Fighting Irish Wire where we will determine the best Notre Dame football game (wins only) since Lou Holtz took over in 1986.
How Will Winners be Determined?
By YOU! Voting is now open as of this post going live. Follow along to pick your favorite games and go ahead and share them with your Notre Dame fan friends and let’s make this a fun few weeks.
How Games Were Chosen:
Nick Shepkowski and Jeff Feyerer, both of FIW looked over every Notre Dame win since 1986 and nominated games for selection. From there they drafted out the nominations until a field of 64 was determined and the bracket was built from there.
The Regions:
What are the four most recognizable locations on Notre Dame’s campus? As appropriate as the Backer or Corby’s may have been, we decided to the controversial route and select the Basilica, Golden Dome, Grotto and Hesburgh Library instead. Crazy, we know.
The Bracket:
Like you’re watching the CBS crew do their thing on Selection Sunday, let’s start with the number one seeds.
