A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
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. […]
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 […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish haven’t played football since November 29th, but with the Super Bowl over, the NFL is gearing up for the 2026 offseason including the 2026 NFL Draft. With several former Notre Dame players expected to be drafted this year, we are hosting a Q&A with the NFL fans around SB Nation’s […]
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. Two players that helped Seattle have such a dominating performance were former Notre Dame stars, Julian Love and Rylie Mills. Mills got his […]
We’ve made it to the last football game of the season — the Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. The comments thread is open for business.
Notre Dame made public the official hires of linebackers coach, Brian Jean-Mary, and defensive backs coach, Aaron Henry. Notre Dame Announces Brian Jean-Mary as Linebackers Coach, Run Game Coordinator SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Brian Jean-Mary has joined the Notre Dame Football coaching staff as the Linebackers Coach and Run Game Coordinator. Jean-Mary (pronounced ZHAHN muh-REE) brings […]
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 […]
On Friday, Notre Dame released its spring roster for the football team. With roughly 35 new additions THIS spring, there’s a lot to take in. New and Changed Jersey Numbers #0 Tionne Gray DL#0 Quincy Porter WR#1 Dallas Golden DB#2 Nolan James RB#3 Mylan Graham WR#4 Bubba Fraizer WR#6 Chris Burgess DL#7 Francis Brewu DL#8 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Notre Dame is not playing the toughest schedule in the country in 2026, and that makes its many detractors pretty […]
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 […]
Notre Dame traveled to Kentucky on Wednesday night to take on an ACC rival, the Louisville Cardinals, and despite playing tough in spots — they just couldn’t get over the hump to even get in position to win this game. Also… they couldn’t even get the book right. Late Louisville Scoring Run Dooms Irish, Falling […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are about to have two running backs selected in the upcoming NFL Draft in Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price. While having two running backs from the same team being drafted in the same year is rare enough, it’s even rarer to have them be the first two running backs selected […]
The question of “how Catholic is the University of Notre Dame?” is something I can’t remember to be a thing said in the pre-internet era of humankind. It’s a thought that actually makes me chuckle a little bit because of how absurd it was. Enter Al Gore, inventor of the internet, and we have decades […]
The NFL mock drafts have been flowing like Krombacher from the kegs at Octoberfest. While we still need to get the Super Bowl behind us, the draft order is pretty solidified regardless of who wins between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. As Notre Dame fans, we all have our own NFL allegiances which, […]
According to multiple reports, Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Football program are expected to hire Michigan linebackers coach, Brian Jean-Mary, to coach the linebackers for the Irish in 2026. Jean-Mary was also the Michigan defensive run game coordinator — which is was also the same position as departing Irish coach Al Washington had last […]
Joshua, Jude, and Brendan have returned from their sacred quests to once again open the pod portal to ritualize Notre Dame Football. In this episode: And plenty more weaved in and out of the show. Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple Podcasts will be read on the next Earned 5-Star Podcast. Go […]
Even though the Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team is having a rough season, Hannah Hidalgo is still playing like the best player in the country. Her 37 points on Sunday helped the Irish win over Stanford, 78-66.
As the coaching carousel continues, Notre Dame is now expected to hire Illinois defensive coordinator, Aaron Henry, to become the new defensive backs coach and Co-Defensive Coordinator for the Irish.
Notre Dame continued its struggles on the basketball court on Saturday with a 86-72 road loss to the Syracuse Orange. The Irish shot under 50% from the field and 27% from behind the three point line. Without question, the loss of Markus Burton continues to haunt this Notre Dame team. Irish Fall At Syracuse, 72-86 […]
We are getting closer folks, it is almost time for Notre Dame Men’s lacrosse. The 2026 season is just around the corner, and for those of you itching to see the Irish get things underway, it is not much longer now. It’s been a little bit since my preview article from a few weeks ago, […]
The Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team continues to have a massively disappointing season. On Thursday night, the Irish had a late tipoff against the Cal Bears in Berkeley, and when it was all over with, Notre Dame lost, 80-69.
