To gain a greater understanding, ESPN.com will take you exclusively behind the scenes this weekend to see just what it's like to be Bob Davie. From a football luncheon Friday afternoon, to final game preparations in the team hotel Friday night, ESPN.com will be there. Join Coach Davie on Friday night as he heads to his daughter Audra's high school to see if she will be crowned homecoming queen. Sit next to him in the famed Notre Dame Monogram Room as the team gathers for its Friday night meal.

Everywhere Coach Davie goes, you will go. So come back throughout the day and the weekend to take a peek at what the fifth-year head coach is up to next. Only at ESPN.com.

Friday

Like most Friday mornings when the team has a Saturday home game, Coach Davie didn't arrive in his office until shortly before Noon. Instead, he was at home, having breakfast with his family and going over the game plan for Saturday's game against Michigan State. It's a time for him to reflect on the week of practice and focus on the Spartans before the endless demands of a home game weekend begin to steal away his time.
