Building a new tradition at Notre Dame

The humiliation is complete. The Irish are now a punch line, a reference point for crapitude. Just listen to Nebraska LB Corey McKeon defend his program against criticism after the embarrassing near loss to Ball State.

“This isn’t a down year for Nebraska,” he said. “We’re 3-1 and people are looking at it like . . . we’re Notre Dame, like we’re 0-4.”

It’s a long way from the Gipper and Rudy, ain’t it?
