A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
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.

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.

We’ve heard the phrase, “leave no doubt,” before when it comes to Notre Dame football. Hell — we’ve SEEN it on the field as well. As we approach the start of spring football for the Fighting Irish, the whole mantra is about to be a way of life. In 2024, when the Irish had no […]
The Notre Dame and college football off-season used to be a lot different, but that was a long time ago. Once conference expansion mania started in 2010, the off-season has been one big clusterbomb of strangeness. It started with conference expansion, then it moved to a college football playoff, then the NIL and transfer portal […]

The Irish found themselves with a do-or-die game this afternoon against one of the two worst teams in the conference to keep their ACC tournament hopes alive.

The Notre Dame baseball team founbd a good amount of success over the last few weeks against some mid-major schools and small schools, so you had to wonder how that might translate once they began ACC play. Well, in the ACC opener, Notre Dame took the Duke Blue Devils to the woodshed in a 10-4 […]
