After all the adversity of this season, it was only right that something good should happen, and oif you're looking for something good to happen why not do it in grandeous style, on a National Stage with the most storied name in college football. when all was said and done, UConn 33, Notre Dame 30.

This was nothing like the little engine that could, because this team didn't belong on the same filed as a program that special, in that stadium probably ever. A team with 9 years of Div 1 experience doesn't belong in the shadow of a team whose lineage goes back to 1887, with national titles, Heisman trophy winners, Hall of Fame recognition for the players, Knute Rockne, and the list goes on. Even in our home state, the UConn Girl's Basketball team carries a stronger presence than the Men's basketeball team and they've both won National titles.

This was a team that needed to recognize the memory of one of their own, tragically taken from life way too early over something probably too tricial, only time will tell. This win was guided by determination and guts and a spirit that is known only to the young men and coaches that were on the sidelines on Saturday.

By 6:30 PM on saturday, the rest of the world were reminded once more of the type of team, and young men that wore the state colors, and there probably wasn't a person that didn't know the story that didn't think it was the right ending, even some of those whose color choices were blue and gold.

Final score, UConn  33  Notre Dame  30  The winners chosen by the fates!

Great game and UCONN makes it even if the refs didn't want them to win it.

Unbelievable win.  I agree, Charlie's gone.  Maybe he'll come back and be the PATs Offensive Coordinator again.

'Have to confess... my family is for anyone that's not Notre Dame.  It all goes back to sibling hatrivalry, and my brother's family being Notre Dame fanatics.  As a result, we were very happy to see UConn win.  LOL.

Jeremy, Ty Willingham should have never been fired for Charlie, the only winning team Charlie had was with Ty's team.

Steve, in this morning's paper, the first call Coach Edsal got was from the head of the Big East officials who confirmed the team got 2 bad calls thrown against them, and as the fates would have it, the right team overcame it all.

Craig, the Patriots have shown that they don't need them. Need a new coach for the Redskins? or the Ravens?

Margaret, confessions are for Saturdays, today was for the gloat

As a Pitt graduate and a CT resident,  it is always extra special when ND loses and especially great when it is UCONN that beat them.  What a season - both Pitt and UCONN beat Notre Dame.  It doesn't get any better than this.

Philip, in general the Big East needs to finish strong thru the bowls because they got no consideration or respect coming into this season. Thanks for stopping
