A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
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 […]

Before I even begin — what a fantastic game the Fiesta Bowl turned out to be. Miami VS Ole Miss could have been a real turd, but they gave college football fans one of those rare type of great games in the college football playoff. So how in the hell does ESPN start off their […]

Ole Miss Rebels vs Miami Hurricanes in the Fiesta Bowl. I have no words for this game, other than I am openly rooting for Ole Miss — but not for the obnvious reasons. If it can happen, Ole Miss winning the national championship would be the funniest outcome possible by a mile. The open thread […]

We are almost a week into college football’s transfer portal season, and it probably goes without saying… Notre Dame fans are more than a little bit anxious. All we have seen over the last (almost) week are transfer portal departures from Notre Dame. There hasn’t been a single commitment/signing, and a number of early targets […]

Some games are remembered for the score. Others are remembered for what they begin. When Notre Dame opened the 1981 season, the anticipation wasn’t just about returning starters, preseason rankings, or national title dreams still lingering from 1980. It was about a new face on the sideline, a new voice in the locker room, and […]

The first few days of the college football transfer portal were less than ideal for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. We’ve gone over the details multiple times, so there’s no sense in rehashing them again in this article (for now). What some people are calling the “2nd part of the portal window” is now upon […]

We are heading into day five of the transfer portal, and Notre Dame still does not have a single commitment. We keep refreshing the twitter machine and snooping around, and it’s not just that there have been no commitments for Notre Dame — it’s that the players they have targeted keep cancelling visits to South […]

As Notre Dame looks to try and bring in a wide receiver from the transfer portal for its 2026 roster, they lose a wide receiver to the transfer portal. On Monday it was reported that Notre Dame WR KK Smith has entered the transfer portal. While Smith has not played a great deal during his […]

The Notre Dame women’s basketball team was on the road again, and the Irish drop their second game in a row. This time it was against ACC rival Duke 82-68, and Notre Dame looked out of the sorts (and pretty much out of the game) early, and never got much going. No. 18 Irish Drop […]

The college football transfer portal opened yesterday and it’s been reported that over 3000 college football players have submitted their names into the system.

Well that was exactly how we did NOT want the Notre Dame Football season to end. It’s been a few weeks since that dreadful selection show on Sunday, December 7th. I am sure I speak for many when I say that I am still not over our Irish not getting chosen into the field. It’s […]

A double reversal of a four point play by Cal to tie up the game against Notre Dame with a few seconds left in the game, had Micah Shrewsberry erupting like a volcano once the game was finally over. The official result will read; Cal 72, Notre Dame 71 — but perhaps a referee count […]

First of all, I would like to lead this piece off with an apology to my mother, grandmothers, several aunts, and any other relatives who may be offended by the repeated use of a certain scatological expletive in this piece (my daughter and nieces fortunately aren’t old enough to read). I hope you all understand […]

The departure of Notre Dame linebackers coach, Max Bullough, created a big opening in the Irish staff at a position that is still loaded for the 2026 football season. Notre Dame is choosing to fill that role with an inside hire — irish defensive line coach, Al Washington. There were reports last month that both […]

The Notre Dame women’s basketball team went on the road to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in ACC play… and someone should have reminded them that this game counts in the ACC standings.

As the calendar turns and we say goodbye to 2025, I’ve been thinking less about polls and playoff debates—and more about the moments that defined this Notre Dame season. Not rankings.Not selections.Moments. Here’s how I’ll remember the year: one defining play and one standout player from each of the 12 games. Week 1 at Miami […]

This was, without qualification, the ugliest basketball game I have ever had the displeasure of watching. I’ve seen games that have made me madder. I have seen games the Irish have played worse. But I have never seen a game where two teams have simultaneously been this inept at playing the actual sport of basketball. […]

It’s ridiculous that this has come down to this, but the internet battle about the demise of the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry between Notre Dame and USC and the fallout surrounding it all, is continuing to rage. It’s all kinds of ridiculousness right now with Lincoln Riley and USC sycophants trying to rewrite recent history. It’s […]

Happy New Years (early)! On Monday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced on X that he will return to Notre Dame to be the head coach in 2026. So that’s the good news. To be honest, I heard about a month ago that the contract extension was done and Freeman was locked into Notre […]
