The Rock Report

We're a Notre Dame family. That much is certain. Additionally, we rabidly support our football team even when times are tough (2007 still hurts). I know a lot of us read online sources for our fill of ND football news. There are literally hundreds of ND related web sites that deal with everything from recruiting to video archives to history and so on. I usually stick to a few of my favorites like Rivals and Blue-Gray Sky, although I'm sure many of you have your own.

Today I write in support of what I now believe to be hands down the best blog, maybe best website on Notre Dame football, The Rock Report. This site gets 7 to 10 posts every month during the offseason and goes upwards of 30 during the season. The posts are unbelievably well written, and they deal with topics that always drive me crazy. The Rock writes with very clear logic and a fair perspective - much like the media USED TO BE! As a result, I frequently find myself dropping his info into my arguments with all the SEC punks that I deal with on a daily basis!

Here is a recent sample of awesome posts to help explain what I mean. Give these a read, and make sure to add The Rock Report to your bookmarks!!! The first one, Enough, should be nominated for an award.

Enough
A response to the media bias against Notre Dame regarding recent "thugs and hoodlums" comment by Weis and the brouhaha over Rutgers and UConn scheduling. Maybe the best summary of my feelings of frustration with ND's portrayal by the media!

Racial Bias and Willingham
Another hotbutton topic - racism and Notre Dame. This is one of the most well thought discussions of the Willingham debacle I have read.

Chuck Long on SDSU
How many sites have an in depth analysis of our season opening opponent in May???

Crossing the Chasm (How ND Could Make the BCS)
A very good look at the potential of our team in 2008. There is hope!

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
A great discussion about how despite last season, ND is really back.
