Jeremiyah Love wants to see the Notre Dame VS Michigan rivalry come back
Yeah… we’re bringing back the Triple Option for Notre Dame here at OFD, and from here on out, you should expect it every weekday moving forward. So let’s jump right into it (or pitch it out). TRADING TROJANS FOR SKUNKBEARS Recently, Jeremiyah Love went on Hard Count with JD Pickell for a nice conversation about […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish continue regression with 7-3 loss to NC State
The Irish were just swept by the North Carolina Tar Heels at home last week, and this week they went down to Raleigh to take on the NC State Wolfpack. The results were pretty much the same as the Irish go down 7-3. Notre Dame Baseball: Irish Stymied by Wolfpack in Series Opener RALEIGH, N.C. […]
Notre Dame Basketball: Jalen Haralson is going to enter the transfer portal
The bad news parade for Notre Dame basketball continues. On Thursday we officially leaned that Jalen Haralson plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens. Haralson is the fourth transfer departure for Notre Dame since the end of the season. While he was someone that was widely considered as a player that was going […]
How many Notre Dame players will be selected in the NFL Draft?

Everything you need to know about how Notre Dame Football is doing this spring
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team now has six practices under its belt during the spring practice season, and there are some updates, notes, and thoughts we need to talk about. INJURIES The number of injuries that Notre Dame reported before the start of the spring period was a big story. The list was […]
Notre Dame Football and the test before the battle with Southern Cal
I know USC has decided to take Notre Dame off their future schedule. And as someone who grew up in Southern California—who experienced this rivalry not just on Saturdays, but in everyday life—I can’t help but feel that loss a little more deeply. Because this wasn’t just a game where I grew up. It was […]
Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo is the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year
In my opinion, there was no better women’s basketball player this year other than Notre Dame guard, Hannah Hidalgo. So while the Naismith Award for that didn’t include her as a finalist, they did for the best defensive player — and of course she stole it. Hannah Hidalgo Wins Naismith Defensive Player Of The Year […]
Which Notre Dame opponent is the THIRD game on a two game schedule?
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program is currently in the middle of the spring practice period with the Blue-Gold Game as the finale on April 25. So, this offseason is moving along quite nicely, but the conversation has been mostly a predictable mix of optimism and sturdy defense. Notre Dame has generally been brutalized […]
2027 Notre Dame Football Scholarship Chart
We are only three months into 2026, but the Notre Dame already has 9 commitments for its 2027 football recruiting class. So, since we are well underway — here’s how the scholarship breakdown is for 2027. Please keep in mind that there may be a few “mistakes” here and there. I generally like to keep […]
Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo is a Wooden All-American
Notre Dame superstar, Hannah Hidalgo, is second to no one. Although the Irish were ultimately bounced out of the tournament by the UConn Huskies in an Elite Eight matchup, Hidalgo was masterful — which she was in every game for Notre Dame during its postseason. A lot was made of the snub by the AP […]
Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 4-Star running back Isaiah Rogers commits to the Irish
Recruiting has picked up a little steam for Notre Dame Football and they are on a little bit of a roll at running back. On Monday, 4-Star RB Isaiah Rogers gave his public commitment to Notre Dame and its 2027 football recruiting class. The 6’0” 205 pound running back from Springfield Central High School in […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish get swept by North Carolina in South Bend
Just when things were looking up for Notre Dame Baseball after sweeping Clemson and getting nationally ranked — the Irish get swept by the North Carolina Tar Heels inside Frank Eck Stadium in South Bend. We knew things were going to be tough for Notre Dame with a schedule that is filled with top 25 […]

The college basketball season has officially ended for the Notre Dame Women’s team after falling to the No. 1 ranked UConn Huskies 70-52 in an Elite 8 matchup. The Irish played their old rival much better than they did earlier in the season, but the Huskies were just too much — and showed why they’re […]
NCAA TOURNAMENT: Notre Dame takes down Vanderbilt to advance to the Elite Eight
For the first time since 2019, the Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team is hoiung to the Elite Eight. The Irish took down 2-seed Vanderbilt 67-64. Hanah Hidalgo was a hardwood goddess against Vandy, and with a MASSIVE chip on her shoulder as a 2nd team AP All-American and a non-finalist for the Naismith — she […]

The Jeremiyah Love draft pick debate feels like a trap
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than a month away, and it feels like we keep having the same conversation over and over again when it comes to Notre Dame running back, Jeremiyah Love — and it’s maddening. Love is arguably the best overall player in the NFL Draft, but we are in this world […]
Looking back at Lou Holtz’s first win at Notre Dame
There are moments in Notre Dame history that don’t just mark a new season—they signal the beginning of something far greater. Moments where hope quietly replaces uncertainty. Moments where you don’t yet know what’s coming . . . but you feel that something is about to change. In the fall of 1986, Notre Dame found […]
Ryder Frost continues the Notre Dame transfer portal exodus
The bad news for the Notre Dame basketball continues as Ryder Frost will be following Garrett Sundra and Sir Mohammed into the transfer portal. Our football-fried minds are likely trained to tune out the number “three” as something small and replaceable — especially when it comes to non-starters. This is, however, most definitely NOT football, […]
Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 4-Star Texas running back Lathan Whisenton commits to the Irish
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 […]
The stark reality of Notre Dame Basketball and its future
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 […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish pound Western Michigan, 14-3
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 […]
Notre Dame Basketball: Garrett Sundra and Sir Muhhamed enter the transfer portal
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 […]
Notre Dame Football’s support staff is either the fastest or slowest in the nation
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 […]
NFL DRAFT: Here comes Pro Day for Notre Dame Football
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 […]
