National Championship Open Thread: Miami vs Indiana

I have nothing of real value to say here. It’s the National Championship Game tonight between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes. I have no dog in this fight, and to be honest, a meteor crashing into Miami wouldn’t be the worst of things to happen this week. Still… I’m taking this standing up, […]

Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Michigan State, 1987

There are moments in Notre Dame football history that feel larger than the final score—games that announce something bigger is coming. The 1987 season opener against Michigan State was one of those moments. It was the first game of Notre Dame’s 100th season of football, and it came against a tough Spartan team led by […]

This is about Marcus Freeman’s future at Notre Dame

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman stepped up to the podium in the media room inside Notre Dame Stadium on Wednesday afternoon, and there was a bit of tension in the air.

Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame won the transfer portal

We are quickly coming to the end of the transfer portal window for college football, and despite an insanely odd start for Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — I think they just won. The Irish still have at least one public target on the board in Oregon DT Tionne Gray, but after […]

Miami 81, Notre Dame 69: Irish couldn’t protect the basketball

If one were to examine the running score differential of this game compared to the one we just watched against Clemson, they’d look pretty darn similar. Miami was able to open up a bit of a lead in the second half and prevented Notre Dame from significantly cutting into it. However, the feel of this […]

TRANSFER PORTAL: Colorado Cornerback DJ McKinney commits to Notre Dame

On Monday, it was announced that Colorado Buffaloes cornerback, DJ McKinney, is committed to the Fighting Irish. McKinney was a 3-Star recruit in the 2022 class from Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, Texas. McKinney was […]

Notre Dame Football: Transfer Portal Updates, News, and Notes

There’s a running joke online right now which makes fun of Notre Dame for having ZERO transfer portal commitments and/or signings. As it’s been mentioned by a large number of people… that’s not going to last very long. Early last week we stated to hear that any Notre Dame commitments made through the portal will […]

It seemed like news was breaking all around on Sunday concerning Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman and some issues with the law. The situation stems from an alleged incident at a wrestling tournament in which Marcus’s son was competing in for Penn High School. Most in the media (ourselves included) heard the news […]

Clemson 76, Notre Dame 61: Flat out beaten by a better team

The big question tonight would be how the Irish would mentally rebound after getting defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by some brutal officiating in their last contest against Cal. Unfortunately, this was a game where sheer want-to wouldn’t be enough. Notre Dame was simply beaten by a team that didn’t so much dominate […]
