THUMBS UP REVIEW
There has been much discussion
about the state of the broadcasts for
Notre Dame's home games this year.
I would like to weigh in on this dis-
cussion by commending the broad-
cast crew, notwithstanding Tom Ham-
mond.
Dan Hicks has done an admirable
job. He is respectful, supportive and
objective, and displays the utmost
professionalism. With respect to Doug
Flutie, I think we should be honored to
have him doing our games. Not only
have I felt this way all season, but in the
wake of the tragic news of the passing
of both his parents he displayed the
ultimate composure, as well as objec-
tive and insightful commentary, for the
ND-BC game.
Both men provide top-notch game
analysis and bring integrity to the
booth. I believe both Dan Hicks and
Doug Flutie are consummate profes-
sionals and deserve the respect and
admiration of the ND audience. We are
lucky to have them.

OPTION GAME
The key question is this: Would it be
better for Notre Dame to make the Col-
lege Football Playoff and get soundly
defeated, or go to a New Year 's Six
Bowl game and win?
Which of those two outcomes pro-
vides better lift for the offseason and
recruiting?

Some Irish fans have wondered whether it would be
better to reach the College Football Playoff and be
soundly defeated on the national stage or to win a
New Year's Six bowl game.
