Knute Rockne: Notre Dame’s Greatest Coach?

Who do you think is the greatest Notre Dame coach of all time? Many would tell you that they believe Knute Rockne is. One thing is for sure, Knute has the numbers on his side. In his 13 seasons as the head coach of America’s favorite team, Rockne amassed the highest wining percentage of any coach in history (.881). His totals are: 105 wins, 12 losses and 5 ties.

Rockne also was the coach during several of the most memorable Notre Dame football moments and teams, including the “win one for the Gipper” speech. He was coach of the famous “Four Horsemen of Notre Dame” in the mid ’20s. As a player, Knute Rockne wasn’t bad either, but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest coaches in college football of all time.

If StubHub.com could sell you some Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets for games in which Knute Rockne was the coach, I’m sure they would. However, we will just have to settle for coach Charlie Weis until we can invent the time machine.

Frazer Gets Permission to Contact Other Schools

In the continuing saga that is the search for the next Notre Dame quarterback, one prospect for the role just further distanced himself from the field- in the wrong way. Zach Frazer was granted premission from the University of Notre Dame to contact other schools that might be interested in him. According to NCAA rules, a player who is currently on scholarship with a team cannot contact other universities about switching programs, unless given permission.

Among the schools that have showed an interest in Frazer, some of the bigger names include Rutgers, Connecticut, Miami, East Carolina and Louisville. Ever since Frazer was left off the list of three players fighting for playing time next season, it has been expected that he would be interested in searching out a place where he could potentially earn a starting role.

Who you will see playing quarterback next year is still up in the air, but you can always count on StubHub.com to have some great Notre Dame Fighting Irish football tickets available to cheer for whoever is taking the snaps.

Notre Dame Game Makes Bad List

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football team made a list they probably wish they weren’t on a few days ago. ESPN.com released a list of the biggest blunders in NCAA Football history, and the Irish showed up int he #8 spot, though the ones credited with the blunder were not related to Notre Dame. The #5 biggest blunder was the Cal-Stanford “The band is on the field!” game, which I though would surely be a lot higher, but still.

The Notre Dame game in question was the 1988 ND-Miami game when the officials mistakenly turned the ball over in Notre Dame’s favor when the play should have been called a first down for Miami. The Irish got the benefit of the call, and the refs were the blunderers.

You might be able to see another good blunder if you get Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets at StubHub.com, though we always hope that the Irish win fair and honest.

Notre Dame Alums in the NFL

There was a great article written the other day about Rema McKnight, the former Notre Dame wide receiver who graduated this year. Though he was disappointed that he did not get drafted by an NFL team, he has been contacted by the New Orleans Saints, who are trying him out for a spot on their roster. The odds are probably not the best, but you can be sure that McKnight’s experience as a Fighting Irish player is helping him to compete against the other young hopefuls in the Saints’ training camp.

McKnight was Brady Quinn’s go-to guy while on the Irish. He ended his career with a total of 170 receptions, but was passed up during the draft probably because of his size. Though you can no longer get Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets to see Rema McKnight, you might soon be able to go to StubHub.com to see him play for and NFL team.

Wrong Move, Weis

The big news coming out of the University of Notre Dame as far as football goes is Coach Charlie Weis’ comments the other day which declared that the competition for playing time at the position of quarterback is going to be between three people: Jimmy Clausen, Demetrius Jones and Evan Sharpley. This specifically left out one of the main contenders, Zach Frazer. There are indications that Frazer will look to transfer schools. If he does, and he plays for a Division-1 NCAA school, he will be required to sit out for one year. After that, he will have have four years of eligibility remaining.

But don’t you think that Weis made a pretty bad mistake? You can’t just tell a guy he’s not good enough and then send him packing to another school with a chip on his shoulder and a score to settle. This is just setting up a Rose Bowl between Notre Dame’s Weis and USC’s Frazer, where the scorned QB will get a shot at redemption.

To see this inevitable future battle, you’ll have to get Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets at StubHub.com for the 2011 Rose Bowl.

Frazer to Transfer from Notre Dame

After Coach Charlie Weis’ announcement that the Notre Dame starting QB position is going to be decided upon by a three person competition between Jimmy Clausen, Evan Sharpley and Demetrius Jones, the one potential QB who was snubbed, Zach Frazer, is apparently considering transferring to another school in order to get an opportunity to play. Frazer himself did not have anything to say about the potential switch, but his father made Zach’s feelings clear.

Said David Frazer, “If the opportunity is out there and they (other schools) come calling, he wants to play. He’s a kid that wants to play. He’s not going to run the scout team or do mop-up duty, he wants to play.

Last week the four young quarterbacks lined up in formal wear for the first elimination ceremony. Weis had only three roses, which he offered to Jimmy, Evan and Demetrius. After the final rose was presented, the camera zoomed in on Zach’s face, which showed a mixture of disappointment and masked disappointment. Weis and Zach then embraced in an awkward hug, before Zach walked away from the ceremony alone with a voice over of himself waxing philosophical about the acceptance of failures while striving for goals, a new desire to focus on finding a school that will give him some playing time, and what an amazing experience this all has been.
