From the Publisher:

Here Come the Irish 2006 provides analysis and coverage of the upcoming Notre Dame football season unlike anything else available. With 112 pages of the most in-depth and thorough football analysis--as well as high-quality, color photography--there's no need to buy multiple preseason publications that only provide a taste of the Irish.

After a 2005 season filled with so much promise--and some heartache--the Irish seem set for success in 2006. Led by Head Coach Charlie Weis and Heisman Trophy candidate Brady Quinn, the Irish are poised to make a run at the school's first national championship since 1988.

Here Come the Irish provides a thorough overview of the current roster and depth chart as well as comprehensive analysis of this season's recruiting. The changes Weis has made to the recruiting system are also analyzed, and how that compares with previous regimes and the early rewards it is reaping. The 2006 schedule is evaluated in detail as well, including some potential problem games--and they may not be the ones you are thinking.

Here Come the Irish also provides a look back at Irish players and seasons of yesteryear. Enjoy a conversation with legendary coach Ara Parseghian as he reflects on the 40th anniversary of his first national championship in 1966. Also re-hash the other times in school history the eulogy has been written on the program, and how the school and team overcame the odds and returned to prominence. Hear the stories of life before the famed leprechaun, when the Notre Dame mascot was a small Irish terrier dog named Clashmore Mike, and recall the life of All-American wide receiver Pete Demmerle through a poignant family account.

It's all packed into Here Come the Irish - a publication by Irish fans for Irish fans with a level of analysis national publications cannot match. With pages full of in-depth coverage and color photos-not ads-it is a true must-have guide to the 2006 season for any diehard fan.
