A sincere tip of the cap to the Notre Dame advanced media team for their efforts to entertain during the international pandemic. Literally everyone in the world has seen their lives change in one way or another in recent weeks and we’ve had to find new senses of normal.
One of those for me has come by those who run Notre Dame’s athletic media pages. Twitter, Facebook or YouTube have all been willing to take a chance and just try things. The Saturday night classic football replays have been fun to check out and the top-ten lists bring back both great memories and fun debates.
Another new segment or idea they’ve tried is “Irish Intel” where a significant play gets broken down. Earlier in the week the Women’s LaCrosse team got a chance to break down an impressive transition goal from this year.
Next up it was Ron Powlus’ turn as the 1995 blowout of USC was discussed, specifically a broken down two point conversion that wound up successful.
You’ve seen the breakaway.
Now, @NDWomensLax is breaking it down in the first episode of Irish Intel.#GoIrish

I’ve enjoyed the folks in this specific Notre Dame office taking chances and trying things. I remembered Notre Dame beating the tar out of USC in 1995 but I’d forgotten about the Powlus reception for two points.
It’s not anything earth-shattering by any means but it’s a fun roughly 140 seconds to take a trek down Memory Lane.
And anytime that trek involves a blowout of USC nobody here is really going to be upset, are they?
