Stuffing the Passer

2010

• S2E1 - A Beautiful Friendship
  Season two begins in earnest with a new cast of characters and some eye troubles. Damn you fondue!
• S2E2 - A Fireside Chat With Coach Kelly
  Muppet Brian Kelly tries to rouse the fanbase out of their malaise with a stirring fireside chat. Grab your decoder rings!
• S2E3 - Shipping Up to Boston
  The lads set out for a road trip to Boston after their flight is canceled. Egregious mistakes are made.
• S2E4 - Modern Chemistry
  Coach Kelly tries to curb his anger issues with pharmaceuticals, but flies a bit too close to the sun. My god, it's full of stars!
• S2E5 - A Word from Our Sponsors
  The gang films a commercial for the new Adidas jerseys, asphyxiation ensues. On the plus side, the jerseys are now 100% halal!
• S2E6 - Halftime Assessment
  Halftime is a good time to take stock of your situation, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and make adjustments to your strategy for the decisive frame. Also, it's a good time to vent.
• S2E7 - A Day in the Life
  Nearly every hour of Brian Kelly's day is apparently accounted for doing things that don't quite seem to have anything to do with winning or losing a football game.
• S2E8 - Rear Window
  Muppet Dayne tore his ACL, but fortunately he lives in a pretty exciting neighborhood.
• S2E9 - Card Study
  The gang's hand signals were compromised, so they're switching over to calling plays with cue cards. Unfortunately, there's a steep learning curve. Thank god for the electrical college.
• S2E10 - It's Morning in Notre Dame
  OH CHRIST WHATEVER WE BEAT SOUTHERN CAL!
• S2E11 - Boiler Room!
  Remember: A-B-C: Always Be Closing. And, also, SLACT: Sell Like a Champion Today.
• S2E12 - ND State of Mind
  Muppet Dayne Crist has taken it upon himself to do his part for the team and help build up morale with a funktastic groove that is sure to make your bass get freaky.
• S2E13 - A Christmas Message
  Remember, every time a bell rings, an angel scores a touchdown.
• S2E14 - El Narcocorrido de Brian "El Churro" Kelly
  The poncho-wearing, gatorskin boot-wearing exploits of Brian Kelly have reached the barrios of Chihuahua, and an inevitable slew of Narcocorridos praising his nefarious exploits have hit the airwaves and filled up the cantinas of la frontera.
• S2E15 - Campus Tour
  The lads have been tasked with giving the new recruits campus tours in the dead of winter. Hilariousness and Proust ensues.

2009

• S1E1 - Presser Time!
  Our first introduction to muppet Charlie Weis and his slightly-concussed pal Jimmy. Who's my quarterback?
• S1E2 - Access Hollywood
  There's a technical snafu with the broadcast of the game. Hijinks ensue. Someone throw a flag!
• S1E3 - The Gang Gets Ready for USC
  Muppet Golden Tate can't stand the excitement for the big game, and reveals his plans to jump in the band again.
• S1E4 - Here Comes The Hurt
  After a tough loss to USC, the gang unwinds in their own special ways. For some, it's cockfighting, for others, it's pop art, and for others, it's Fudgie the Whale.
• S1E5 - The Road to San Antonio
  Airport security nabs muppet Golden and Jimmy with a bag full of wildcats, plutonium, and backup pirate hats.
• S1E6 - Halloween Special
  Muppet Jimmy and Golden show off their elaborate pumpkin carvings. They're nice... I guess.
• S1E7 - The Gang Sings a Sea Shanty
  A morale-boosting tune for the lads leading up to Navy. Remember, '07 never happened.
• S1E8 - The Coach Who Stares at Goats
  Muppet Charlie Weis conducts secret government experiments at a redacted location. The results are... unsuccessful.
• S1E9 - Wann-stache'd
  It happens to the best of us time and again-- someone sneaks up on us and Wann-staches you. Embrace the horror.
• S1E10 - A Serious Coach
  Muppet Charlie Weis appeals to a higher authority to save his job, but Father Hesburgh is busy.
• S1E11 - Everyone's Free (to Score Touchdowns)
  Muppet Charlie Weis gives his valedictory speech to the Fired Coaches Class of 2009. Because everyone's free to score touchdowns, especially me.
• S1E12 - Jimmy and Golden's Last Press Conference
  It's hard to say goodbye, especially when you can't find the right backdrop.
• S1E13 - Coach Kelly Gets Grilled
  On their way out, Muppet Jimmy and Golden conduct a thorough interview of the new coach. Tough, but fair.
• S1E14 - O Touchdown Tree
  We conclude our broadcast season with a stirring Christmas special, where muppet Golden teaches us the true meaning of Christmas: touchdowns.

ND Pages

• Notre Dame Videos
  Torrents to download full games as well as Oldie Olderson's fantastic highlight videos. A must-see.
• NDLNA
  The Notre Dame Latest News Aggregator. A really cool site that sweeps the web for articles on Notre Dame and puts them together in a community to discuss and dig.
• Touchdown Jesus
  Absolutely required reading. Everything you need to know about faith, fandom, and what it means to be a ND fan.

ND Blogs

• The Blue-Gray Sky
  Defunct, but still worthy of the top spot as blog emeritus.
• ND Choo-Choo
  Best blog ever.
• Five Bucks to Friday
  A comic strip with a hankerin' for Notre Dame football. If being mildly attracted to female cartoon characters is wrong, I suppose I'm just not right.
• One Foot Down

Non-ND Blogs

SEC

• Every Day Should Be Saturday
  The House Rock Built's "aspirational peer". Funny as hell dudes who should probably be locked up with their lifetime supply of jean shorts.

  Dapersonnahblog fordacoachOrgeron! Yallbettareaditcuz COACHOPROUDAHEEBLAWG! Rebahfootbahforevah!!

  T. Kyle King serves up an extra large helping of Dawg sports. We are obligated to inform you that he may be a lawyer. Proceed with caution.

Big 10

• MGoBlog
  Ann Arbor's grumpy nextdoor neighbor who won't let you jump his fence to retrieve your baseball.
• The M Zone
  Sure, they're Michigan fans, but this site cracks my shit up. Besides, what divides us is less significant than what unites us: we're brothers-in-arms in the war against the dastardly, plagarizing ESPN network.
• Maize & Brew
  The hardest-drinking college football blog on the internet not named House Rock Built.

Those Other Conferences and Independents

• Burnt Orange Nation
  Comprehensive coverage on our beloved Longhorns and free tutoring for the Wonderlic test.
• Bruins Nation
  Yet another college football team in Los Angeles? Insanity. Excellent blog for those of you who bleed powder blue.

Football Generalia, Snark, and Miscellaneous

• Deadspin
  The shimmering, all-knowing hearbeat of sports blogs. Edgy, punchy, and most likely half-drunk.
• Fire Mark May
  A bizarre insight into the behind-the-scenes world in Bristol, CT.
• College Football Resource
  The big daddy of them all, the nerve center of this twisted college football blogsphere.
