Just as Notre Dame Football has got back into the groove on the practice fields, Herring Bone has been cranking into midseason form on the blogging & podcasting front. Here are some updates on what I’ve been up to: 1. My all-time favorite Notre Dame player for 19 years has been Kevin McDougal - Quarterback of the legendary 1993 Notre Dame team that should have played for the National Championship. We hosted McDougal on Ask Oscar’s most recent show and the former teammates delved … READ MORE

The podcast will be hosting Tony Rice this week (and Chris Zorich for those keeping track). I kicked off research by going to the videotape in trying to capture some of Rice’s greatest moments and highlights from the 1988 National Championship . While we’ve had his teammates Stonebreaker & Pritchett, Stams, and Brown on recently, we all know that this is the quarterback – a different, more special beast. Tony Rice may not have gone in the NFL’s 1st Round or found himself on many … READ MORE

Derek Brown is one of few players with this trifecta – National Champion (1988), 1st Team All-America (1991) & 1st Round NFL Draft Pick (1992 – New York Giants Pick #14). He also sounds like a veteran R&B deejay on the … READ MORE

We also had some fun with Oscar McBride during his weekly Red Zone Target segment, which included stories of his high school haircuts and Hammer-style pants for an early 1990′s tilt against the Miami Hurricanes. All good stuff. Frank Stams discussed his days under Lou Holtz and coordinator Barry Alvarez and … READ MORE
Michael Stonebreaker & Wesley Pritchett teamed up on the field in South Bend back in 1988, forming one of the greatest defenses in school history, and the came together again to interview with TNNDN’s Down the Line.

In case you missed, I wrote about Brown’s possible ascension up the depth chart in fall camp due to … READ MORE

Posted by Steve Herring on February 15, 2012 I had kicked around the idea of having a blog for a few months last year and finally decided to go after it in July 2011.

So there I was on … READ MORE
