On Wednesday night, the Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team improved to 3-1 on the season after an 86-79 win over Bellarmine. It wasn’t a pretty game at all for the Irish as they struggled shooting the ball for stretches, and struggled from the free throw line (again). Markus Burton led the Irish with 25 points […]

On Tuesday night, the College Football Plaoff committee released its newest set of rankings, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish remain as the #9 ranked team in the country. Honestly, I’m a little surprised the committee put Notre Dame at 9 and Alabama at 10. Obviously the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll had the […]

Notre Dame improved to 8-2 on the season after traveling east to take down #22 Pitt 37-15 in a game that really felt more like 60-0. The Irish held Pitt to just 81 yards in the first half, and despite some below average play by CJ Carr — the offense moved the ball with relative […]

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 […]

The latest set of rankings from the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll were released on Sunday, and Notre Dame found themselves ranked #9 again in both polls.
