Notre Dame’s Defense: A Lesson In Being Awkward
September 30th, 2009 . by adamnWe all have those embarrassing or awkward moments. They could be called Michael Scott moments. Times where you just want to run and hide from the rest of the world, and times where you just think “that can’t be true”. Like the time you fell asleep in study hall and woke up just in time to hear yourself fart in front of the hottest girl in class. Or when you were 11, and found that dominatrix outfit in your mom’s closet.
For the Notre Dame defensive backs, this happens on a weekly basis when they try to tackle an opposing player. It is like a fish out of water. Either they miss completely-like when Swedish company Locum sent out Christmas cards spelling the company name in lowercase letters, and replacing the “o” with a heart symbol (see the resulting logo), or they mistake tackling with something that looks like the old House of Pain music video Jump Around, where you just hop up and down and bounce your chest against someone else’s.
Notre Dame tackling-taking awkward to a whole new level.
