Summary: Here Come the Irish
Comment: The author does a good job of capturing the energy and excitement of the resurgence (real or imagined) of Notre Dame football under Ty Willingham. The author gives us a glimpse of the mysterious coach and leads us to believe that Notre Dame is back, which should make Notre Dame nation excited and optimistic about the future. On the negative side, the author plays the race issue way too much. Yes, it is historically significant that Notre Dame hired a black football coach, but the author needlessly hammers this point home at every opportunity. Indeed, the author seems more concerned with Willingham's skin color than Willingham does himself. Most Notre Dame fans don't care if the coach is black, white or purple, so long as he wins. Also, the author lapses too often into "street talk" or what he refers to as "black colloquialisms." He even refers to Touchdown Jesus as "blinging." Ironically, the use of such language actually promotes the very stereotypes the author apparently abhors. In all, a pleasurable read if you're a Notre Dame fan.
