Latest news and updates about the Notre Dame
Everyone loves to do a player countdown for Notre Dame as we face toward the college football season, but in all fairness, the offseason is much shorter than you think. It’s really only two months in the grand scheme of things, and there will be much more to talk about in the middle of July […]
The Notre Dame Football schedule is a thing of beauty — but also an absolute nightmare. I’ve always loved the mix of schools from around the country, but some years it can feel a little stale. I think there’s an easy way to throw a little more flavor onto this meat, and you already know […]
Joey McGuire and Texas Tech got back in the Notre Dame conversation again this week after news about there being a possibility the Texas Longhorns may not end up playing the Irish in their scheduled games. First of all… McGuire is a phenomenal salesman/promoter right now. Seriously — regardless of any comments made that might […]
Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He turns 15, and in the fall he will be a freshman on the football team. Over the last several years of playing the sport, we have often talked about which position would be best for him as a player on both sides of the ball. As a pitcher […]
Notre Dame Football is currently blessed. The Fighting Irish are under the leadership of Marcus Freeman, and they are on the brink of being a national power like something we haven’t seen since Lou Holtz paced the sidelines at Notre Dame. It’s easy to view Freeman as someone who is cut from the same cloth […]
Week 3 of our retrospective series commences after a short week off! This week brings us to a familiar foe, in a reprise of a once-annual rivalry that now hasn’t been played for nine years. Lisa actually wrote about this recently, and if you want a detailed recap of the game I highly recommend her […]
The best triple option play of all-time might be the inside veer. I’m running it under the high sun. NOONER FOR THE WIN I frequently talk about my passion for a good nooner, and I believe that in certain cases, it is a necessity for some games on the Notre Dame football schedule. In 2026, […]
The 2012 season didn’t begin with championship expectations. In fact, heading into East Lansing for a nighttime showdown against No. 10 Michigan State Spartans, not many Notre Dame fans were feeling particularly confident about the Irish starting 3-0. The previous week’s narrow win over Purdue had raised more questions than answers, and after years of […]
Yes. More than likely, the Texas Longhorns are afraid to play Notre Dame in a college football game. While that’s definitely a funny statement, it’s also further proof that Texas has no freaking clue about how pretty much anything works. The Longhorns are convinced that it was the loss to Ohio State in week one […]
A post holiday triple option with a slight delayed hangover never hurt anyone. CREME DE LA CREME OF THE STRONG ARMS A lot of the offseason talk surrounding the Notre Dame Football program and its projections for the 2026 season has centered around CJ Carr. While the focus on the quarterback position is pretty much […]
Yes, the Notre Dame recruiting machine is running strong. On Tuesday during an announcement ceremony on 247’s YouTube channel, 4-Star defensive end Jackson Vaughn gave his public commitment to Marcus Freeman and the 2027 Notre Dame football recruiting class. The 6’3” 225 pound EDGE from Bergen Catholic in New Jersey, chose the Irish over his […]

Marcus Freeman has drawn plenty of NFL interest over the last two seasons, but has opted to stay at Notre Dame.
Notre Dame just sent Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price to the NFL via the first round of the NFL Draft. They are a pair of Irish running backs that will likely be talked about for a long time. As there is with any college football program, however, there are running backs that are seemingly never […]
17-10 Tech over Notre Dame. That sounds like a primo football score, doesn’t it? Well, it most certainly wasn’t a football game. Neither team seemed to manage to pitch well, and the lumber was out for both sides. Tech just brought more to the game. The ACC Tournament is becoming less and less of a […]
Now that Notre Dame just announced a new scheduling extension with the Stanford Cardinal in 2027 and 2028, Notre Dame has one final game open for its 2028 schedule. So… who should the Irish schedule? As it stands, there are already ten Power 4 teams own this schedule. 3 SEC schools.1 Big 10 school.6 ACC […]
How one night in East Lansing helped Notre Dame remember who it was again There are games that define seasons, and then there are games that restore belief. By the time Notre Dame vs. Michigan State kicked off on September 23, 2017, Notre Dame fans were still carrying the emotional scars of 2016. The Irish […]
Much has been made of Notre Dame’s 2026 football schedule, and the Irish have received some very public media and fan tongue lashings over the perceived strength of the 12 game slate (or lack there of). The schedule is what it is, and inside this new environment of the college football world — I’m not […]
The idea of Notre Dame and BYU playing annually as a new “Holy War” in college football isn’t anything new. You can crawl through the archives of message board for the past 20 years and find this exact topic brought up by college football fans — though probably not that many Notre Dame fans. Notre […]

Looking ahead to a season full of familiar foes, we’re going to be taking some time this offseason to look at what happened the last time each of Notre Dame’s 2026 opponents met the Irish on the football field. Week two brings us to an opponent who isn’t scary, but also doesn’t feel totally safe […]
Gotta hit this one quick so let’s run Power Red C Flex 18 Sprint Option… There’s a lot of Notre Dame Football chatter out there during the month of May. I know we’re all living under that Irish bubble, but the Irish continue to be a program that media outlets continually bring into the conversation […]
Football gamedays at Notre Dame have a lore and a history to them that is second to none. While many other schools across the country can make a strong argument that they have a better overall gameday than Notre Dame, the real beauty of it all is because of how these gamedays make its fans […]

Friends, we have reached peak college football offseason. Media silly season is in full bloom, the usual obsessive psychopaths are printing their laziest slander, rumblings abound about the future of the postseason, and absolutely nothing fun beyond recruiting is happening. All of this means many of us are starting our countdown to September already, and […]
