A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
On Wednesday, the recruiting realm sent out some really good news as 4-Star running back, Lathan Whisenton, gave his public commitment to Marcus Freeman and the 2027 class for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The 6’0” 200 pound running back from Waco Midway High School in Waco, Texas, chose the Irish over the Florida Gators, […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Irish fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Notre Dame has kind of a wonderful problem this season. While the Irish aren’t very deep […]
Please don’t make your initial reaction to this post as an overreaction by me following the first two Notre Dame basketball transfer portal defectors. On the contrary, this is something we have talked about a few times — Notre Dame isn’t paying out the money that other schools are for basketball. The South Bend Tribune’s […]
The Notre Dame baseball team didn’t let off the gas this week after its series sweep of Clemson and a new #23 ranking. Notre Dame welcomed Western Michigan to Frank Eck Stadium for a midweek test, and the Irish sent the Broncos home with a 14-3 branding in seven innings. Notre Dame Baseball: Irish Power […]
Just because Notre Dame basketball didn’t make the NCAA Tournament (again) or that the Irish will not show Micah Shrewsberry the door — it doesn’t mean it was going to be a quiet offseason. The transfer portal still exists, and we already have two early exits from Notre Dame basketball players. Foward Garrett Sundra and […]
With Pro Day here for the Notre Dame football program, there will be a lot of focus on what the 40 yard dash times will be from the players that weren’t at the combine — and from some that want to improve on their times. There are a lot of players that want in on […]
We are just about a month away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and it is shaping up to be a good one for the Notre Dame football program. Collectively, the Irish players that went down to the NFL Combine did a nice job, but there are a handful of guys that weren’t at the combine […]
Despite a really slow start to the game going down 11-0, Notre Dame kept their composure and fought back to take control and beat Ohio State, 83-73. The early minutes acted more like a wake up call, and it wasn’t just Hannah Hidalgo taking over (although she was insanely good). Four other Notre Dame players […]

It’s a bye week for Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse. It’s a good opportunity for us to take inventory of the season so far and where we are at with our Fighting Irish in this 2026 lacrosse season. I was not able to get an article up for the 9-4 win against the University of Michigan, […]
When the NCAA spit the fenching national championsship back to men’s and women’s from the co-ed format they had — do you think they thought about doubling up Notre Dame’s national championship trophies from here to kingdom com? They should, because male or female — Notre Dame keeps winning the ship. Notre Dame Fencing: NATIONAL […]
On Sunday the Notre Dame baseball team wrapped up a weekend series sweep over Clemson with a 7-4 win inside Frank Eck Stadium. The Irish are now .500 in ACC play after taking two of the first three series of the season. Sure would be nice if we could watch any of these games on […]
Notre Dame will advance to the round of 32 after beating the Fairfield Stags in the first round, 79-60. To be honest, the game was never really in doubt for Notre Dame, but they kind of slow rolled themselves into halftime. Hannah Hidalgo was incredible, and despite not getting a double double — she did […]

Notre Dame began its spring practice season for football to the delight of many. Obviously it’s just the first day of practice, many (many) players are either out or limited, and it’s not full contact yet as they were in helmets and shells. Taking too much away from the first day is dangerous to anyone’s […]
This Notre Dame baseball team is just different than what they were a year ago. The Shawn Stiffler project is finally looking like the real deal — and a lot of that has to do with the phenomenal pitching of Irish Ace, Jack Radel. Radel took the mound to open the weekend series against ACC […]
Notre Dame remains a fencing school after bringing home (while being at home) another NCAA National Championship. Notre Dame Wins 2026 NCAA Women’s Fencing Championship CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Notre Dame women’s fencing program won the 2026 NCAA Women’s Fencing Championship on Friday, March 20, at the Joyce Center in South Bend, Indiana. This marks […]
We didn’t have an open thread up for the first day of the NCAA Tournament, and that is my bad. There was an incredible amount of good action, and fun upsets — so let’s dive in for day two. The open thread is open.
Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are a group of hungry bears, and are waking up from some winter hibernation for gas station hot dogs and the start of Notre Dame Football’s spring practice season. In this episode: And plenty more weaved in and out of the show, Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple […]
It’s March, so its March Madness as the NCAA Basketball Tournaments are beginning. The Notre Dame Women’s team is a 6 seed and will first face Fairfield in the first round in Columbus. There are several interesting matchups in the Fort Worth bracket for the Irish should they get past Fairfield. Outside of any possible […]
Notre Dame officially started the spring football season on Wednesday with a combination press conference, which of course, had Marcus Freeman front and center taking questions from the media. Either sometime durong or shortly after, I received a DM from a colleague simply saying this… “Marcus is so good man.” Obviously, he’s right. Marcus is […]
Over the past several years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of writing three non-fiction books about former Notre Dame student-athletes—along with a cookbook and a children’s book. Through those stories, I’ve tried to capture something special: the way Notre Dame shapes the people who pass through her doors. In the Echoes from Notre Dame book […]
The spring practice season for Noytre Dame Football is now underway, and we have a new injury report for Irish players. Here is the list of who is OUT and who is LIMITED this spring: OUT FOR SPRING CB Khary Adams (shoulder) LB Ja’Kobe Clapper (shoulder) OL Ashton Craig (ACL) DL Tiki Hola (ACL) OL […]
There are different episodes of the pre-NFL Draft hype and discussion every year. The two that eventually become the biggest ones (although not always the most telling) are the pre-combine predictions and the post-combine/free agent predictions. For some Notre Dame players this season there is quite a bit of difference. Although wide receiver Malachi Fields […]
With the college basketball season now in the distant past for the Notre Dame men’s team, there was a move made that we heard might happen — and it actually came true. According to Adam Schefter, Notre Dame forward Carson Towt has signed with the Indianapolis Colts. So wait — how can this happen? How […]
