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 […]
There is a lot on the line this weekend as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel to the farm in Palo Alto to take on the Stanford Cardinal. Nevermind Stanford’s record or the fact the Irish are almost a five touchdown favorite – the pressure is still there. What’s on the line? The Legends Trophy […]
Notre Dame is on the road in California to finish its regular season. The Irish will take on the Stanford Cardinal for the rights to the Legends Trophy, and the stakes are very high. Regardless of all of the talk concerning scenarios, it’s pretty much a WIN AND YOU’RE IN game for Notre Dame. That’s […]
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 […]
This week’s Throwback Thursday takes us back to a tense afternoon in Palo Alto, when the top-ranked Fighting Irish found themselves in a battle they never expected. Notre Dame arrived at Stanford Stadium favored by three touchdowns, but the upset-minded Cardinal pushed the Irish to the limit — proving that sometimes the biggest tests come […]
On Tuesday night, after a ridiculously long wait for a finish to a college basketball game, the college football playoff committee released its latest set of rankings. STOP THE PRESSES… Notre Dame stays at #9. It was a mostly chalk week throughout the country, and even though Notre Dame won with an amazing score of […]
Round Two for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Players Era Tournament featured a tilt with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This game appeared to be a get-right spot for the Irish, as with Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey off to the NBA, Rutgers looks much less threatening than they did when they beat Notre […]
The #9 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel west to finish the regular season against the Stanford Cardinal, and are looking to go 10-2 and get its second consecutive berth in the college football playoff. Outside of everything else that a playoff berth requires, the biggest one is that Notre Dame actually beats Stanford. One […]
It’s the final week of the regular season in college football for Notre Dame and the rest of the country, and there are all sorts of things up for grabs when it comes to the playoffs. Sitting at #9, there are still plenty of ways for the Irish to move up to be at home […]
The Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team was back home inside Purcell Pavilion on Monday night to host the MAC’s Central Michigan Chippewas. The Irish played steady ball from start to finish, and saw five players score in double digits in an 83-51 win over CMU. One of the odd stats from the game is that […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 9-2 and ranked #9 in the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll. While we will have to wait a bit longer to get this weeks College Football Playoff rankings, it’s safe to assume they will remain #9. While that ranking could be a bit problematic for the next two […]
It really wasn’t all that long ago when national writers and national talking heads talked about Notre Dame VS Stanford as being one of the most underrated rivalries in college football. In my position, I saw a vast majority of fans look at this game as anything but a rivalry game — almost like they […]
Las Vegas, baby! The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had themselves a mid-afternoon tilt against the Kansas Jayhawks in the first round of the Players Era Tournament. After a disappointing final stretch in the Bellarmine game last week (which was a “win,” kinda), the Irish would have to dig deep to find another gear against a […]
On Monday, Notre Dame released its depth charts for the upcoming game against the Stanford Cardinal for the Legends Trophy and a possible playoff berth. Notre Dame suffered two more season ending injuries in their win over Syracuse with Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa and Chance Tucker going down with lower body injuries. While KVA will be a […]
Ok, so I really don’t know how much overreacting we had to this one. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish absolutely SHELLACKED the Syracuse Orange on Saturday afternoon. It all was so ridiculous that it was more comical than anything (and just downright sad for Syracuse). You could call never seeing something like what took place […]
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 […]
Notre Dame beat Syracuse 70-7 on Saturday. It was fun and wonderful and full of good vibes, but it wasn’t like they beat Oregon 70-7. So, anyone out there that gave even a little credence to the possibility of moving up in the rankings this week — well they were wrong. On Sunday, both the […]
We expected the Week 13 slate of the 2025-26 season to be “less than competitive.” There weren’t a lot of big shocks across the sport but Notre Dame did stand out for the punishment it dealt to Syracuse. The game’s final score was 70-7 and it presents us with some of the wildest stats College Football has […]
Notre Dame took on what remains of the Syracuse Orange on Saturday and the result was, apart from a scary injury to Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, about as close to perfect as you’ll find on a football field. It’s genuinely hard to pick out the most interesting or meaningful performers in a game so lopsided it was […]
In a game where Notre Dame wanted to flex its muscles a little bit for some style points, things got out of control in a hurry, and it ended with a 70-0 win over the Syracuse Orange. Notre Dame scored three touchdowns before the Irish offense even took the field. The first was a 44 […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back at home this week — and for the final time during the regular season. It’s Senior Day in South Bend and the Irish welcome the Syracuse Orange to the show. There could still be a lot of chaos around college football. For Notre Dame, however, there is a […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have slowly climbed back up the rankings, and are now ranked #9 in the country in the college football playoff rankings after dismantling Pitt. Next up for the Irish is the Syracuse Orange in a game that will feel like a major disappointment if Notre Dame doesn’t win by a […]
Hannah Hidalgo and the Notre Dame Women’s basketball team welcomed the #11 ranked USC Trojans to Purcell Pavilion for a little rivalry game… and we got an absolute gem. From the ND Press release:
It is truly right and just,our duty and our salvation,always and everywhere to give thanks for BEATING MICHIGAN,Lord, holy Father,almighty and eternal God,through Christ our Lord. From the ND press release: Irish Shutout Michigan To Advance In NCAA Tournament ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Notre Dame went into Ann Arbor and defeated the Wolverines by a score […]
