This is the most unusual signing day/period I have covered or followed. Not because of any particular drama in the class for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but because - unlike past years when the early signing period occurred in the midst of bowl prep or in February - it coincides directly with a massive game week. The signing period hat and the team-coverage hat rarely have to be worn at the same time, but it’s 2020 so here we are.
In the spirit of Monty Python, the massive showdown with the Clemson Tigers is inbound - and now for something completely different.
