Big Changes Coming…

Dear Loyal Reader, Because we have the utmost respect for all 15 of you, we wanted to let you know that management at GameDay40.com will be instituting some changes to the site’s lineup in the near future. Be on the lookout for further updates! Steve in Iowa  

Gunner is Irish!

I do not follow recruiting closely.  It is the silly season of the college football world and I do not have the knowledge or time to sort through rumor and innuendo.  I typically just wait until signing day to see where we are at.  So it takes a special player to get me to really [...]

The Inexorable Blogitational Pull of Tim Tebow

Yes, there have been a lot of happenings in the #NDFB world–assistant coaches leaving (Warriner, Hinton), players signing, players de-committing, Coach Kelly getting a two year contract extension– that sort of stuff just isn’t our bag.  If you are reading this right now, you already know you can get more and better coverage of all [...]

Why can’t I bring myself to watch tonight’s game?

The short answer is that the Steve in Iowa household has no cable.  Or satellite.  We regard those services as luxuries not worth the cost.  (Seriously, people.  Look at your monthly cable bill, multiply it by 12 and see if that service is something you really, really need.) Now until the past few seasons this [...]

Post-Bowl Dialogue with Blog and Steve*

Blog Davie: Dang that sucks.  Just eight wins.  The season started with so much promise, we were nationally ranked!   Lost some we shouldn’t have, the regular season ended with that pathetic loss to our hated rival, and then we just lost the bowl game on top of it. Steve in Iowa: I can’t believe we [...]

IBG: Football and Cheerios Edition

Her Loyal Sons is hosting the Irish Blogger Gathering for today’s Champs Sports Bowl.   Want to know how the FSU O-line is going to fare against the ND front seven?  Want to know who will be the hero of the game?  Want to know how much playing time Andrew Hendrix will get today?   [...]

We iz now on the Twitterz!

Thanks to the encouragement of multimedia omnipresence that is The Subway Domer, GameDay40.com has been exploring the Twitter-verse.  Ol’ Steve still has to admit that he’s still getting the hang of this Twitter thing.  It is the first technology that really makes me feel my age.  That said, getting  @ mentions from ChampSportsbwl and the [...]

Charlie Weis new HC of Kansas Jayhawks.

I truly wanted you to succeed at Notre Dame, not just as a fan, but so that obnoxious blow-hard Colin Cowherd would have to eat crow.  Alas, it was not meant to be.  After bouncing around as a the OC for the Kansas City Chiefs and Florida Gators, I hope that you settle in with [...]

GAMEDAY 40… Kinda okay.

Obviously we need to do something to improve this result… (From the very humorous, “Is It Old?” site).  With post-season awards getting handed out, Charlie Weis getting a new gig, Manti deciding to come back next year and take care of business, and BK declaring that Tommy Rees is the Champs Sports Bowl starter we [...]
