I wrote in the recap of the Missouri game that it was the most important game of Micah Shrewsberry’s tenure thus far at Notre Dame, and I stand by it. Yet, this one didn’t feel any less huge. By beating Missouri, Notre Dame earned the right to have tonight’s game mean something. A win would […]

Without exaggeration, tonight’s contest against the Missouri Tigers represented the most important game of the Micah Shrewsberry era to-date. Expectations are for the program to be in the hunt for an NCAA tournament bid, and for that to be a realistic possibility, there needs to be a quality non-conference win to point to.

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »

Happy victory Monday, SOTUers. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday. The Miami Hurricanes made it a good one for all us, bludgeoning Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon 38-7.

Notre Dame got off to a rough start in 2025, but they looked like they fixed a few things in a 56-30 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and then the 56-13 win on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks. They followed those two victories with two victories which covered massive spreads in a 28-7 win […]

On a weekend that mostly featured big-brother wins over little-brother rivals (RIP Texas A&M’s perfect season, you came so close; congratulations Vanderbilt on breaking the mold), Notre Dame did its part and pounded Stanford, 49-20 out on the farm.

It’s kind of like Notre Dame knew it had to be on a mission with its trip to Palo Alto to take on the Stanford Cardinal for the Legends Trophy, and perhaps, a potential berth in the college football playoff. The game ended 49-20, but the Irish won this game before halftime. Notre Dame scored […]

Notre Dame drew a nightmare matchup in the swarming Houston Cougars for their final game in the Players Era tournament. A national title contender sporting one of the top defenses in the country, Houston seemed perfectly suited to stymie an entirely too Burton-centric offensive attack for the Irish.
