A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
Friday’s are also built for options. How about a triple option? SMU TAKEOVER? I’m going to be really honest here… I’m absolutely bamboozled by a tweet by some dude named Scoot McGee (no, I have no idea who is — nor should I). According to this man, who ranked being a “Dallas Insider” like four […]
If you’ve been a Notre Dame football fan for the past 20 years, you obviously understand the pattern and the agreement that Notre Dame has in regards to playing football games in prime time. Outside of Notre Dame’s commitment and agreement with NBC for its home night games, there is a better than good chance […]
We have just enough time (my schedule — not yours) to bust out the speed option. Let’s go… BRIAN KELLY SHOULD STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM NOTRE DAME When Brian Kelly came back to Notre Dame’s campus for the funeral of Lou Holtz, I scolded those that complained about him being there. After all — […]
Some Saturdays don’t look special when they begin. A team still trying to find its footing. A young quarterback taking his first snaps as the starter. A fan base hoping for something—anything—to believe in. And then, little by little… it all started to click. November 13, 2010, wasn’t supposed to be a defining moment. Notre […]
I am going to start this read by apologizing my for lack of articles of late. As we all know, sometimes life gets busy and that has been the case for me, so my articles have suffered. I have missed write-ups after the UNC win, the Duke win, the Syracuse win and the UVA loss. […]
Essentially, hump day is just running scissors out of the T-formation. Huddle up… THE NEW COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF? It feels like we are still in the create-a-player mode when it comes to the college football playoff. Every year there’s a tweak, or suggestion, or move — or something. In my own opinion, we should all […]
Perhaps the worst part of this new age of college football is the death to rivalries across the country. The tragedies began with conference realignment 15 years ago, and the big move by Nebraska to the Big 10, and it continues because of what the college football playoff has become. Notre Dame isn’t completely innocent […]
We are less than four months away from the start of the college football season, and (hopefully) a national championship run by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That seems like more than enough time to talk about Notre Dame’s 2026 schedule over and over and over again. Over the course of the offseason, I plan […]
The Notre Dame baseball season hasn’t gone the way we had hoped, but that doesn’t mean the Irish haven’t displayed some really good play by some of their players. Over the offseason, the Irish had to replace catcher Carson Tinney, who used the transfer portal to end up with the Texas longhorns. So, Notre Dame […]
When in doubt, call the triple option. POST SPRING RANKINGS ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF NOTRE DAME I’m not sure how many times I need to say it, but Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold game mattered very little to the grand scheme of things. “No duh,” you say? Well, yeah. It still amazes me that there […]
Notre Dame added two new pieces to its 2027 football recruiting class on Monday. 3-Star wide receiver, Jackson Coleman, and 3-Star tight end, Titus Hawk, gave their public commitments to Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame. Jackson Coleman has an interesting offer list and he chose the Irish over other notable programs like the Miami Hurricanes, […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had a disappointing weekend. Notre Dame was ranked No 1. in the nation and the top seed in the ACC Tournament — but that came to a crashing halt with a 15-10 loss to the Virginia Cavaliers. The Hoos went on to win the ACC Tournament, which didn’t really hurt […]
It’s been a fantastic day for Notre Dame football recruiting. With 4-Star Edge Aidan O’Neil coming into the fold this morning, the Irish get great news on the other side of the ball. During an announcement on the Pat McAffee Show, 4-Star quarterback Wonderful “Champ” Monds gave his public commitment to Notre Dame and its […]
Here comes Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame recruiting machine. On Friday during a live announcement on YouTube, 4-Star EDGE Aidan O’Neil gave his commitment to Notre Dame and its 2027 football recruiting class. The 6’5” 240 pound EDGE from Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, New Jersey, chose the Irish over his other two finalists; […]
Welcome to another edition of Five Notre Dame Football Photos for a Friday. I know what you’re thinking… and yes, we’ve probably already covered some of Notre Dame’s most famous fullbacks in other editions — but we’re going to do it again — and again until our prayers of a fullback revival are finally answered.
The No. 1 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish are looking to bring another national championship back to South Bend, but before the NCAA Tournament comes around — the Irish have a big challenge with the ACC Tournament, which starts on Friday. WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW TO WATCH When: Friday, May 1 and Sunday, May 3Where: […]
The Notre Dame football recruiting machine is working hard to secure another top class. The Irish are in the mix for some of the best players in the country, and a handful of those players are going to be announcing their decisions very soon. The next two weeks hold a lot of potential for Notre […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program represented itself quite well in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Irish had 6 players selected over the 3 day and 7 round event. The major highlights for Notre Dame from this past draft was running back Jeremiyah Love being selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the #3 pick, […]
As Notre Dame fans, we all have those games we never forget—and this is one of them. We’ve all heard about the “Orange Bowl jinx”… that lingering storyline that seemed to follow the Irish into Miami year after year. But on New Year’s Night in 1990, something felt different. This wasn’t just another bowl game—it […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse team is ranked No. 1 in the nation as it heads to the postseason, so it should come as no surprise that the ACC yearly awards and All-ACC team is filled to the brim with Blue and Gold honors. From the ACC: 2026 Men’s Lacrosse All-ACC Team and Award […]
A win is a win is a win. There’s no doubt about it — the Notre Dame baseball team is massively struggling with its ACC schedule this year, and just dropped a home series over the weekend to Boston College. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some midweek wins from the Irish, and this […]
In a somewhat surprising move, Notre Dame’s KK Bransford announced that she has committed to the UCLA Bruins via the transfer portal. UCLA is the reigning national champion, but just sent all of its starters to the WNBA. So, I think it’s safe to presume that the Bruins have some NIL money to spend as […]
Notre Dame didn’t have a Shamrock Series game in 2025, so they didn’t have a real alternate uniform look. The all green unis and the all white unis are just part of the rotation, in my opinion, so they don’t really count as an alternate (don’t play semantics with me). But the Irish have a […]
Notre Dame and CJ Carr took a little bit of heat from the casuals after a Blue-Gold spring football game that was a little underwhelming. The spring game should never be a major indicator — good or bad — of how a program will perform during the season, and in some post spring rankings, it […]
Notre Dame’s spring practice season is now in the rearview mirror, but the recruiting cycle is dead ahead. The Irish are trying to capitalize on last cycle’s success and have a strong product to sell recruits. As the recruiting calendar has changed over the years, so too has the intensity of the cycle. Normally May […]
