Notre Dame 89, Georgia Tech 74: Cole Certa leads Irish ot a home win
Notre Dame welcomed Georgia Tech to Purcell Pavilion for a matchup between a couple of ACC celler dwellers. Shortly before the game, we found out Jalen Haralson would be out with an injury, which meant the irish were down yet another scorer. It seemed a little bleak, and yet… Cole Certa decided to go HAM […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish drop season opener to FAU, 7-1
It’s just one game, but it was the season opener for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After an offseason with some hope and confidence bveing put out into the universe, the Irish couldn’t get the job done in game one as they lose to the FAU Owls, 7-1. Irish Fall to Owls in Season Opener […]
What fast food selection would you like to see at Notre Dame Stadium?
I don’t get to sit inside the stadium very often for home Notre Dame Football games. My duties for OFD inside the press box trump my need to wear a cutoff shirt while drunkenly screaming LFG (sadly), but as a family (and apparently this means girlfriends/boyfriends too) we have been planning at least ONE home […]
Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS LSU, 1984
Some wins are about rankings. Some are about records. And then there are the ones that arrive exactly when a team needs them most. In the fall of 1984, Notre Dame found itself at a crossroads. Three straight home losses. A losing record. Confidence shaken. Questions everywhere. And next on the schedule? A trip to […]
Notre Dame Baseball predicted to make the NCAA Tournament
If you have listened to anything Notre Dame Baseball Coach, Shawn Stiffler, has said over the past few months — there should be a decent amount of optimism running through your veins. It could be easy to dismiss given the struggles the Irish have had on the baseball diamond over the last few years, but […]
Six Notre Dame football players are invited to the NFL Combine

Will Notre Dame meet expectations this season?
It’s a long off-season, and that means there will be plenty of trolls, hacks, haters, and randoms that will choose to wake up one day and crap in the breakfast bowls of Notre Dame fans. They will do this with a one or all of the top four Irish hating phrases in our college football […]
Notre Dame basketball to play Villanova in Rome to start next season

SMU 89, Notre Dame 81: The Irish have fight, but keep losing
Notre Dame went down to Dallas for a midweek matchup against the SMU Mustangs, and failed to notch a win — again. The Irish have played a number of games this year in which they played hard down the stretch, but fell quite short of victory. This loss was another example of such a game. […]
Should Notre Dame schedule North Dakota State on future football schedules?
One of the more fun tidbits of news from the last few days is that the North Dakota State Bison are moving from the FCS to the Mountain West Conference in the FBS. After decades of being the most dominant team in the FCS, it makes perfect sense for NDSU to make this move, and […]

Julian Love and Rylie Mills are Super Bowl Champions
The Seattle Seahawks took down the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl with a 29-13 score. Seattle was absolutely BRUTAL on defense — and yes that’s the good kind of brutal.

Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?
On a Notre Dame site such as this, I generally like to stay clear of too many NFL opinions — for obvious reasons. Notre Dame, after all, is a national program with fans all over the country, and those fans have differing NFL allegiances. As for myself… I’m a lifelong die-hard for the Green Bay […]

Will Tyler Buchner be QB2 for Notre Dame in 2026?
Notre Dame still has the same quarterback issue it had for next season as it had in December. Who is going to be QB2 behind CJ Carr? There was some movement in the transfer portal, and Notre Dame went looking for a possible QB2, but nothing ever came to fruition. The Irish will have three […]
Jeremiyah Love talks about teams trying to get him to leave Notre Dame
If you ever wondered just how much tampering goes on in college football as teams desperately scratch at the transfer portal — it’s probably a LOT more than you think. Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love is one of those fun examples of a player that everyone knew was returning to Notre Dame in 2025 — but […]
Notre Dame 80, Virginia Tech 70: Irish use a collective effort in win over the Hokies
Despite a season full of struggles, Notre Dame is currently predicted to be an 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. With a month to go, they have plenty of opportunity to improve their standing, and it looks like the return of KK Bransford should help them in that cause — just as it did in […]
How would you change the 2026 Notre Dame Football schedule?
It didn’t take long for those who have Notre Dame Football living rent free in their heads to start flipping out about the 2026 schedule. It’s low hanging fruit for sure, but it’s still fruit.

This week, I had the chance to speak with longtime Notre Dame athletic trainer Mike Bean about a problem he spent decades watching athletes struggle through—and the solution he eventually built himself. After 36 years with Notre Dame student-athletes across baseball, men’s and women’s soccer, hockey, tennis and for the last 30 years football, Bean had […]
