Latest news and updates about the Notre Dame
Friends, we have reached peak college football offseason. Media silly season is in full bloom, the usual obsessive psychopaths are printing their laziest slander, rumblings abound about the future of the postseason, and absolutely nothing fun beyond recruiting is happening. All of this means many of us are starting our countdown to September already, and […]
The Notre Dame Football recruiting machine is absolutely dialed in right now. On Friday, 5-Star defensive lineman David Folorunsho gave his commitment to Marcus Freeman and this 2027 Notre Dame Football recruiting class. The Irish continue to have national success on the recruiting trail, but Folorunsho is a fairly local victory. The 6’3” 285 pounder […]
Everyone loves to do a player countdown for Notre Dame as we face toward the college football season, but in all fairness, the offseason is much shorter than you think. It’s really only two months in the grand scheme of things, and there will be much more to talk about in the middle of July […]
Notre Dame is getting a new band director for 2026 and beyond in Paul Popiel (who is now on the list of people that can earn the nickname “The Pope”). Popiel takes over for the retiring Dr. Kenneth Dye. The departing director had been at Notre Dame since 1998, and from what I have gathered […]
Here we go… just waiting on those uniforms. Notre Dame Releases Official Logo for 2026 Shamrock Series Game SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The 2026 Shamrock Series logo serves as a visual combination of the history of two storied football programs and one of the most iconic NFL stadiums for the upcoming clash between Notre Dame […]
On Thursday, a major recruiting move that has been in the works for weeks was finally made public. 3-Star offensive lineman, Jackson Hill, flipped his commitment from the UCLA Bruins to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. “The 6-5, 280-pounder is ranked as the No. 103 offensive tackle in America and No. 142 overall player in […]
By the time Notre Dame arrived at the Rose Bowl to face UCLA on October 6, 2007, the season already felt like it was slipping away. The Irish were 0-5, buried beneath criticism, injuries, and the weight of a seven-game losing streak dating back to the previous season. For a program built on pride and […]
There is a giant target on the back of Notre Dame football right now, and the wolves are out for blood. No school generates as much animosity and conversation than Notre Dame, so it should come as no surprise that the combination is put on full display during the offseason. The events of last season […]

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. In fact — they lose all sense of reality. Some don’t even pretend that they are living in reality. And that, my friends, is where […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish look to make a gigantic recruiting splash this week, and it all starts with an actual giant. During an announcement ceremony, 5-Star OL Oluwasemilore Olubobola gave his commitment to Notre Dame and its 2027 football recruiting class. Olu (as we humbly call him) chose the Irish over his other two […]
For an ancient foe we run an ancient play from the triple option… EVERYONE IS GETTING THEIR SAY It didn’t take long for the internet to start doing its thing on Monday once the news that Notre Dame and USC are back in talks (or still talking) about renewing the rivalry in the near future. […]

If you are a lover of college football and consider yourself a guardian of tradition, than today’s news about Notre Dame and USC talking about renewing the storied rivalry is a big win. The slant inside the article is something else though (but we’ll get to that in a moment). “It’s not clear yet when […]
Monday morning is made for options… I’ll take a triple. HELLO 5-STAR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN For all of the fun we have with skill position players that are rated as a high 4-Star or 5-Star player, it seems a little odd that more highly ranked offensive lineman aren’t flocking to Notre Dame. And then I remember… […]
If you’ve been a Notre Dame football fan for the past 20 years, you obviously understand the pattern and the agreement that Notre Dame has in regards to playing football games in prime time. Outside of Notre Dame’s commitment and agreement with NBC for its home night games, there is a better than good chance […]
We have just enough time (my schedule — not yours) to bust out the speed option. Let’s go… BRIAN KELLY SHOULD STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM NOTRE DAME When Brian Kelly came back to Notre Dame’s campus for the funeral of Lou Holtz, I scolded those that complained about him being there. After all — […]
Some Saturdays don’t look special when they begin. A team still trying to find its footing. A young quarterback taking his first snaps as the starter. A fan base hoping for something—anything—to believe in. And then, little by little… it all started to click. November 13, 2010, wasn’t supposed to be a defining moment. Notre […]
Notre Dame added two new pieces to its 2027 football recruiting class on Monday. 3-Star wide receiver, Jackson Coleman, and 3-Star tight end, Titus Hawk, gave their public commitments to Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame. Jackson Coleman has an interesting offer list and he chose the Irish over other notable programs like the Miami Hurricanes, […]
It’s been a fantastic day for Notre Dame football recruiting. With 4-Star Edge Aidan O’Neil coming into the fold this morning, the Irish get great news on the other side of the ball. During an announcement on the Pat McAffee Show, 4-Star quarterback Wonderful “Champ” Monds gave his public commitment to Notre Dame and its […]
Here comes Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame recruiting machine. On Friday during a live announcement on YouTube, 4-Star EDGE Aidan O’Neil gave his commitment to Notre Dame and its 2027 football recruiting class. The 6’5” 240 pound EDGE from Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, New Jersey, chose the Irish over his other two finalists; […]
Welcome to another edition of Five Notre Dame Football Photos for a Friday. I know what you’re thinking… and yes, we’ve probably already covered some of Notre Dame’s most famous fullbacks in other editions — but we’re going to do it again — and again until our prayers of a fullback revival are finally answered.
The Notre Dame football recruiting machine is working hard to secure another top class. The Irish are in the mix for some of the best players in the country, and a handful of those players are going to be announcing their decisions very soon. The next two weeks hold a lot of potential for Notre […]
Notre Dame didn’t have a Shamrock Series game in 2025, so they didn’t have a real alternate uniform look. The all green unis and the all white unis are just part of the rotation, in my opinion, so they don’t really count as an alternate (don’t play semantics with me). But the Irish have a […]
Notre Dame and CJ Carr took a little bit of heat from the casuals after a Blue-Gold spring football game that was a little underwhelming. The spring game should never be a major indicator — good or bad — of how a program will perform during the season, and in some post spring rankings, it […]
