A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
Welcome to day one of the 2026 Notre Dame Football season. I’m sure you can make an argument that it started much earlier, but I’m not — it’s today. Notre Dame has a ton of talent coming back in 2026, and is bringing in 36 new players via recruiting and the transfer portal (which is […]

That’s an exciting title — isn’t it? That’s a thing in 2026 which, if it becomes reality, would mean the Irish have rightfully claimed their spot as the king of college football. It’s also something the Indiana Hoosiers just accomplished in the 2025 season… which just feels insane. So congrats to Indiana for winning the […]

When I saw the spread for this women’s basketball game between Notre Dame and UConn was sitting at a healthy 29.5 points, I couldn’t help but think of just how far this program has actually fallen. That line, maybe even more than the actual 38 point beating, was the cold shower to wake us all […]

I have nothing of real value to say here. It’s the National Championship Game tonight between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes. I have no dog in this fight, and to be honest, a meteor crashing into Miami wouldn’t be the worst of things to happen this week. Still… I’m taking this standing up, […]

The bad news for the Notre Dame Men’s Basketball program continues to come at us. Just a day after the Irish lost their fourth straight game (all ACC games) we find out that Kebba Njie will miss the rest of the season with an injury. “Unfortunately, in a previous game, I sustained a knee injury […]

We’re very close to getting this nightmare over with — or maybe started — I don’t know, but the National Championship Game between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes is being played on Monday night. We’ve seen a number of Notre Dame fans talk about not watching or paying attention to the college football playoff […]

It’s been a tough road for Notre Dame so far in ACC play. We knew it would probably be a tough year for the Irish, and it has only been rougher since the loss of Markus Burton to injury. On Saturday, the irish lost to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, 89-76. It was the fourth straight […]

Here comes the national championship game between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes. It’s been a wild ride for Notre Dame fans over the last month and a half, but as wild as that ride has been for fans — it had to be wilder for head coach Marcus Freeman. Through it all, very little […]

There was hope in the air and Marcus Freeman in attendance as the Notre Dame women’s basketball team hosted the #9 ranked Louisville Cardinals — but no. After a good start in the first quarter, the Irish couldn’t match Louisville bucket for bucket throughout the game and lost, 79-66. No. 23 Irish Fall To No. […]

It’s safe to say that the Notre Dame Women’s basketball season has been a bit of a disappointment so far, but that doesn’t mean the season is coming to a screeching halt. Far from it. Notre Dame welcomes the #9 ranked Louisville Cardinals for an ACC showdown. Louisville is 6-0 in conference, so a win […]

There are moments in Notre Dame football history that feel larger than the final score—games that announce something bigger is coming. The 1987 season opener against Michigan State was one of those moments. It was the first game of Notre Dame’s 100th season of football, and it came against a tough Spartan team led by […]

Notre Dame is having a very good transfer portal season so far, and it just got better. Oregon defensive tackle, Tionne Gray, has committed to Notre Dame. The 6’6” 336 pound monster from St. Louis, Missouri, will have three years of eligibility remaining. Notre Dame went into the offseason in need of at least two […]

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman stepped up to the podium in the media room inside Notre Dame Stadium on Wednesday afternoon, and there was a bit of tension in the air. While this press conference fell under the category of “normal portal wrap up,” the events of the last month definitely made this something […]

We are quickly coming to the end of the transfer portal window for college football, and despite an insanely odd start for Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — I think they just won. The Irish still have at least one public target on the board in Oregon DT Tionne Gray, but after […]

Notre Dame just had a masterful two days with transfer portal commitments, and most Irish fans are applauding this fantastic effort. As much talent as the Irish are bringing in, there is one position that still feels a little light. Notre Dame went into the portal with some needs, and most had the Irish pegged […]

If one were to examine the running score differential of this game compared to the one we just watched against Clemson, they’d look pretty darn similar. Miami was able to open up a bit of a lead in the second half and prevented Notre Dame from significantly cutting into it. However, the feel of this […]

Notre Dame finally got their kicker in the transfer portal and he’s from the Purdue Boilermakers. Spencer Porath, a sophomore from Brownsburg, Indiana, with two years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Notre Dame. I don’t have much to say about this. Notre Dame was absolutely going to get a kicker out of the portal, […]

If Notre Dame can’t recruit 5-Star wide receivers out of high school, they are well on their way to being more than competent of doing out of the transfer portal. After what has been an up and down — cold and hot — recruitment of Ohio State wide receiver, Mylan Graham, he has finally given […]

Of all of the needs that Notre Dame needed to get out of the transfer portal this cycle, perhaps no need was bigger (figuratively and literally) than at defensive tackle. On Tuesday, Notre Dame made public the transfer portal commitment of Pitt Panthers defensive tackle, Francis Brewu. Brewu was recruited to Pitt by new irish […]

Notre Dame has the best returning secondary in the country for 2026 with all four starters back and another brilliant recruiting class — but they wanted to add even more depth from the transfer portal moving forward. On Monday, Notre Dame has its public commitment from Michigan Wolverines defensive back, Jayden Sanders. Sanders is a […]

Notre Dame finally has their man. Next up from the transfer portal for the Irish is Alabama defensive end Keon Keeley.

Here they come now… Notre Dame’s run in the transfer portal is a good one this year, and today most are being made public. Next up is Ohio State wide receiver, Quincy Porter. Porter was a 5-Star prospect in 2025 from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey. At 6’4” and 210 pounds, Porter is […]

Notre Dame may not have struggled in the transfer portal as much as some people would like to think. On Monday, it was announced that Colorado Buffaloes cornerback, DJ McKinney, is committed to the Fighting Irish. McKinney was a 3-Star recruit in the 2022 class from Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, Texas. McKinney was […]

There’s a running joke online right now which makes fun of Notre Dame for having ZERO transfer portal commitments and/or signings. As it’s been mentioned by a large number of people… that’s not going to last very long. Early last week we stated to hear that any Notre Dame commitments made through the portal will […]

It seemed like news was breaking all around on Sunday concerning Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman and some issues with the law. The situation stems from an alleged incident at a wrestling tournament in which Marcus’s son was competing in for Penn High School. Most in the media (ourselves included) heard the news […]
