Brian Kelly believes in Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love
Sometimes there’s just too much going going on, but we still need to get all of the relevant Notre Dame (and whatever) information out. That’s called a Speed Option, so let’s run it. BRIAN KELLY BELIEVES IN YOU BRO I know anytime I invoke the name of Homeboy BK, you guys get a little irritated, […]
Obviously, Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman and CJ Carr have a special relationship
Ever since Marcus Freeman took over at Notre Dame, there has been a lot of new ground broken. Other than the aura of winning a national championship, the Irish are one of the elite programs again — and life is mostly good. Some of the proof is that the Irish are a consensus top two […]

WNBA DRAFT: Notre Dame Guard Cassandre Prosper goes to Washington Mystics with 19th pick
I guess Cassandre Prosper knew what shew was doing after all.

Notre Dame Baseball: Irish drop another ACC series as struggles continue
Notre Dame was only down 5-4 to the Virginia Cavaliers as they entered the 4th inning, but that’s when things went off the rails completely for the Irish, and the game ended in the 8th inning with a 20-5 loss. The Irish went through 8 pitchers as starter, Dylan Singleton, didn’t make it out of […]
Joey McGuire really needs to take a vow of silence about Notre Dame
It’s Friday and Frank Leahy would be proud that we’re pulling out the T-Formation for today’s Triple Option news about Notre Dame.

Eligibility, a more interesting NFL Draft, and Notre Dame REVENGE
We have some things to talk about. Here’s your triple option play for today… ELIGIBILITY SIMPLIFIED So much of what people perceive how “broken” college sports have become quickly point to the transfer portal and NIL payments. While those can certainly cause some issues, over the last two decades, it’s really been the chaotic eligibility […]
Halfway through spring football, Notre Dame is putting things together
Yes, it’s been a pretty quiet first half of the spring practice season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Despite there being a bit of shock reveal with the injury report at the beginning of spring, the current depth charts (as they’ve been revealed in various ways at practice) are intriguing — but not a […]
Looking back at when Notre Dame drew a line in the Chestnut Hill turf
There are seasons that begin with certainty… and seasons that require a team to discover who they are, one hard-earned moment at a time. The 1998 Notre Dame football team fell into that second category. Under Head Coach Bob Davie, the Irish were navigating the early stages of a new era, learning—sometimes the hard way—that […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish keep the losing streak alive against Michigan State
There was a moment Notre Dame baseball looked like it was getting back to being a winning program again, but after being swept by UNC and NC State, the Irish dropped their 7th game in a row — this time against the Michigan State Spartans in a mid-week matchup in South Bend. Notre Dame Baseball: […]

It was “Lacrosse Day in Chicago” on Saturday, April 4th and the afternoon delivered like most of us expected it would. On a cold and sometimes rainy day near the lake, our Fighting Irish took down #1 ranked Richmond by a final score of 12-8. It was an awesome time and Chicagoland showed up with […]
Notre Dame Football is getting a different type of Bus treatment
Normally when you think about Notre Dame Football and a bus, you automatically think about Jerome Bettis — as you should.

Notre Dame Basketball: Irish see sixth player depart for the transfer portal
We’ve all known this is what was going to happen. Notre Dame basketball just ended a terrible season, has retained its head coach, and no extra money for NIL (that we know of) is being pumped into the program. Add it all together and you get a mass exodus of your best talent. On Monday, […]
Notre Dame Baseball: Irish swept for second ACC series in a row
Ouch. After Notre Dame swept the Clemson Tigers last month, the Irish entered the Top 25 as the #23 ranked team in the country. As good as that felt, it’s been all downhill since then. Well, I guess they got a win over Western Michigan right after, but THEN Notre Dame was swept by North […]

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.
