Our Other No. 5 Team
So apparently Notre Dame has a hockey team (which I just discovered, since hockey isn't really a sport). And wouldn't you know it? The Skating Irish (I just made that up) are ranked number 5 in the country, which is the same ranking as our beloved football team.
I checked out the team's schedule, and also like our football team, we play one of the most grueling schedules in the country. Seriously. We play the no. 4, 6, 8, 15, and 19th ranked teams, and we already beat the 7th ranked team. Honestly, the hockey team must have hired one of our former assistants to do their scheduling because this schedule is a mine field.
Now apparently our hockey team is a member of a conference, but this is completely different situation than our football team. The hockey team doesn't make any revenue, so it's ok for them to be a member of the CCHA and use the conference's resources so we can focus all our energy on getting Brady into Canton before he gets drafted.
UPDATE: One of my "friends" has claimed that I do not care about hockey because I am not Canadian. However, only three of our 26 hockey players are from Canada. Since our football team has three fewer Canadians than our hockey team, this criticism is baseless. Also, hockey was invented in Scotland.

I know the Dumpster. And I can assure you that the Dumpster cares more about ND's nationally ranked fencing team than he does about their hockey team. He's not Canadian.
