ND-Fairfield shippin' up to Boston
After much searching, Notre Dame-Fairfield's football team has an 11th game. According to a notification by the CIAC, the Lancers will travel far up to Braintree, Mass. (just outside of Boston) to face Archbishop Williams.
Check out Notre Dame-Fairfield's schedule here.
Not a heck of a lot of webstuff to sink your teeth into, but here's the Bishops' MaxPreps page.
The Bishops went 5-5 last year, a marked improvement on its 1-9 record the previous season. It went to a Division 3 Super Bowl in 2005, according to a Wikipedia entry on the school.
It's an intriguing matchup, but only because it matches one of ours against one of theirs. I would have much rather seen Notre Dame play a Connecticut school out of conference.
Alas, like a quite a few schools around here, Notre Dame needed to look far beyond Connecticut's borders for this game thanks to a couple of short-sighted conferences who chose to schedule their 11th games in-house (cough, cough, FCIAC! FCIAC! Cough, cough, NVL! NVL!).
So it's off to Boston, ND goes.
