Latest news and updates about the Notre Dame
Currently, Notre Dame’s 2026 football recruiting class ranked #4 in the country by the 247 Team Composite and is a 27 man gem that has three 5-Stars and nine players ranked in the top 150. It’s the type of recruiting class that fans had envisioned when Notre Dame hired Marcus Freeman to be the head […]
When Brian Ratigan first arrived at the University of Notre Dame in August of 1989, he felt like a tiny fish in a very big, very talented pond. Just months earlier, he had been one of the most celebrated high school athletes in the country — the Gatorade Player of the Year in Iowa, a […]
#12 Notre Dame arrives this weekend, but there will be nothing holy about it. The program is 5-2 on a five game winning streak.

Oh boy. After the Eagles’ 7th consecutive loss this past weekend, the best team on Boston College’s schedule arrives in Chestnut Hill for the 26th rendition of the Holy War. With the line sitting at ND -28.5 and the O/U at 56.5, let’s get into it: Put simply, this game could get very ugly, very […]
How’d We Do Last Week? Wildly Inaccurate I mean… specifically calling out for Price to NOT have a kick return TD is pretty hilarious. Most Interesting ND Dominated the lines of scrimmage and played the game Michigan was desperately hoping to play. Most Accurate Im doing something a little unprecedented…..Irish in the Hammer has the […]
It’s a HOLY WAR this week as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Order of the Holy Cross travel to Chestnut Hill to take on the Boston College Eagles and the Jesuits. The two teams will be fighting for the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl trophy will the student governments put the Ireland Trophy up […]

Saturday will be the first day of November which is All Saints Day, so it’s quite fitting that the these two Catholic Schools play a college football game. November also […]

We’re not trying to get everyone and everything but here are some interesting bits of news. UNC NC State Wake Forest Virginia Clemson Pitt Notre […]
Upon hearing the news Sunday night, I texted my football frenemy Bookstore. “Sayonara Brian Kelly.” “So long F-Bomb.” The dude is often not subtle with his barbs. “54 million. No problem. Three weeks in a row big time coach fired,” replied moi. “But not Kentucky or Wisconsin,” he retorted, citing his two alma maters, having […]

Notre Dame is coming off of a bye weekand is currently ranked #12 in the country with a 5-2 record. The Irish know that they need to be as dominant as they can be in their final five games of the season to help make a lasting impression with the college football playoff committee. Ever […]
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 […]
The Notre Dame football team sat back this past Saturday and ate their cheeseburgers during their final bye week of the season. In a weekend of mostly “meh” matchups, the final results once the clock went sero were also mostly “meh” as well. Don’t get me wrong — I found Saturday to be highly entertaining, […]

As we are all set and ready to enjoy a Notre Dame Football bye week (also known as the cheeseburger bye week) the noise surrounding things OTHER than the college football playoff is starting to get turned up a notch or two. One of those things is the Heisman Trophy, and a name that is […]
It was, again, another tough week, this time 3-7, thanks to some bad luck in a few games. I got hooked by the USC-Notre Dame game, and Tennessee had what appeared to be a touchdown that would have hit the over called short of the end zone in the final seconds. But can’t stop, won’t […]
This week’s Throwback Thursday takes us back to the South Side of Chicago and the spirit of Lou Holtz’s first Notre Dame team — where lessons in trust, love, and commitment became a way of life. Few embody those values better than Frank Pinn (’89), a former walk-on turned team leader, record holder, and business […]
Joshua, Jude, and Brendan fought through the joys and perils of fatherhood to sit down to talk about Notre Dame Football. We’re low on show notes this week, but mostly we fight about… Plus the OFD/Earned 5-Star Top 20 and our weekly game picks. Our beautiful baby boy Greg takes us out. Please RATE and […]
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last two years… the Notre Dame vs USC rivalry game is in jeopardy of ending as a yearly game in South Bend and Los Angeles. Saturday night’s game inside Notre Dame Stadium was the last scheduled game between the two programs, and there has been plenty […]
Notre Dame VS USC was billed as the last real test on the Irish schedule by a number of media pundits. While I find fault with that statement, the game was still the biggest game left on the schedule — and Notre Dame played that way through the uncertainty and the rain. So what did […]
Despite all of the joy and dominance on the field Saturday night in Notre Dame’s 34-24 victory over USC, one of the few bad things to come out of the game is that Irish offensive lineman, Billy Schrauth, will miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. The captain from Wisconsin was having a dominant performance […]
What a win. Hopefully the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have the chance to continue one of the greatest rivalries in college athletics with the USC Trojans after this season. But for now, the Irish came out on top in the last scheduled game for now. What a day it was with a lot of weather, […]
Notre Dame kept the Jeweled Shillelagh safe at home after Saturday night’s 34-24 win over the USC Trojans. Notre Dame rushed for over 300 yards, and kept what was statistically one of the best offenses in check for most of the night. Here is a gallery of some of the best images from a night […]
