Without exaggeration, tonight’s contest against the Missouri Tigers represented the most important game of the Micah Shrewsberry era to-date. Expectations are for the program to be in the hunt for an NCAA tournament bid, and for that to be a realistic possibility, there needs to be a quality non-conference win to point to. Beating Houston […]

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »

The penultimate set of College Football Playoff rankings were released and the committee decided to move Notre Dame down to #10 and Alabama up to #9.

It’s National Signing Day on Wednesday for Notre Dame Football and the rest of the country. Over the years we have seen the calendar change several times for the recruiting cycle, and this year brings another change as the early period for Signing Day is sooner than it’s ever been — which is fine. Now […]

Happy victory Monday, SOTUers. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday. The Miami Hurricanes made it a good one for all us, bludgeoning Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon 38-7. The Canes looked absolutely dominant and have shown the part of a playoff team for the last four weeks. So, what does that mean for their […]

Notre Dame got off to a rough start in 2025, but they looked like they fixed a few things in a 56-30 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and then the 56-13 win on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks. They followed those two victories with two victories which covered massive spreads in a 28-7 win […]

On a weekend that mostly featured big-brother wins over little-brother rivals (RIP Texas A&M’s perfect season, you came so close; congratulations Vanderbilt on breaking the mold), Notre Dame did its part and pounded Stanford, 49-20 out on the farm. It was the fourth game of five after Notre Dame’s bye in which the Irish beat […]

On Sunday, the final rankings of the regular season were released by the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll. Both sets of rankings put Notre Dame at #9, which is where they’ve been for several weeks now. Of course these rankings are mostly meaningless until the final rankings release after the National Championship game, but […]

It’s kind of like Notre Dame knew it had to be on a mission with its trip to Palo Alto to take on the Stanford Cardinal for the Legends Trophy, and perhaps, a potential berth in the college football playoff. The game ended 49-20, but the Irish won this game before halftime. Notre Dame scored […]

Notre Dame drew a nightmare matchup in the swarming Houston Cougars for their final game in the Players Era tournament. A national title contender sporting one of the top defenses in the country, Houston seemed perfectly suited to stymie an entirely too Burton-centric offensive attack for the Irish. On the other hand, a win would […]

The College Football Playoff selection committee loves them some Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Forget the fact that their best win is over a now 8-3 USC team. Forget the fact that their Power Four schedule includes titans such as Purdue, Arkansas, and Boston College, ALL WINLESS IN CONFERENCE PLAY – and the latter of whom […]

How’d We Do Last Week? Most Wildly Inaccurate Im not sure there has ever been less of a sleepwalk first half for the Irish. In fact, it was the most dominant first half in ND history…..A historically bad take from our friend NDFanDan, which is welcomed given the circumstances. (GoldRushND had a very similar take […]
