While everyone was obsessing over Phil Jurkovec’s incompletions and trying to figure out what the heck Notre Dame is going to do at linebacker, one very important and underrated development took place during last weekend’s Notre Dame Blue Gold Game. Doug Flutie was out of the booth and on the sidelines and Chris Simms was in his place doing the color commentary. Dear NBC, please make this permanent.
I tend to think that Notre Dame fans overreact to the announcers NBC uses. Hell, even I may have overreacted when they put Michigan fan Mike Tirico in the booth for the play by play.
