TRIPLE THREAT: Kedren Young, Jason Onye, and Noah Grubbs

What Happened the Last Time Notre Dame Played Each of its 2026 Opponents?
Friends, we have reached peak college football offseason.

All of this means many of us are starting our countdown to September already, and […]
Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 5-Star DL David Folorunsho commits to the Irish

5 Notre Dame Football Photos for a Friday: The Old Irish Guard

The 24 team playoff might be good for Notre Dame, but it’s bad for college football

Once again, Colin Cowherd is talking out of his sphincter when it comes to Notre Dame
It’s a pretty toxic world out there, let’s cleanse it with the triple option. NOTRE DAME NOISE There is something about Notre Dame Football that makes people kind of crazy.
