Lunchtime musical interlude: Out-Irishing the Irish
Navy and Notre Dame meet on the football field for the 81st time tomorrow and as most followers of the rivalry know, the Irish have dominated. Notre Dame has won the last 43 straight and the all-time series record is 9-70-1. We took a historical look at the series in today's Sun. Because Notre Dame (1-7) is having one of its worst seasons ever and Navy (4-4) has a high-powered offense, albeit porous defense, the Mids have one of their better opportunities to break the long losing streak. Despite the lopsided results over eight decades, Navy doesn't concede a thing to Notre Dame -- not even a claim to Hibernian pride.
