What’s your favorite sandwich to eat while watching a Notre Dame Football game?

Notre Dame Women’s Basketball: Irish get a road blowout win
The Notre Dame Women’s basketball team has had a tough season so far — not as rough and depressing as the men’s team, but it’s a season that hasn’t lived up to the expectations. With that said, things looked better (again) with KK Bransford back on the court, and the Irish went on the road […]

New Notre Dame WR Mylan Graham said WHAT about Ohio State?
On Wednesday, Notre Dame began its “unveiling” of the incoming coaches, freshmen, and transfers by holding some combo press conferences inside the Irish Athletic Center. Probably the most talked about comments came from Ohio State transfer WR Mylan Graham. When asked about the biggest difference is between Notre Dame and Ohio State, the former New […]

Notre Dame Baseball: Irish drop season opener to FAU, 7-1
It’s just one game, but it was the season opener for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After an offseason with some hope and confidence bveing put out into the universe, the Irish couldn’t get the job done in game one as they lose to the FAU Owls, 7-1. Irish Fall to Owls in Season Opener […]
What fast food selection would you like to see at Notre Dame Stadium?
I don’t get to sit inside the stadium very often for home Notre Dame Football games. My duties for OFD inside the press box trump my need to wear a cutoff shirt while drunkenly screaming LFG (sadly), but as a family (and apparently this means girlfriends/boyfriends too) we have been planning at least ONE home […]
Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS LSU, 1984
Some wins are about rankings. Some are about records. And then there are the ones that arrive exactly when a team needs them most. In the fall of 1984, Notre Dame found itself at a crossroads. Three straight home losses. A losing record. Confidence shaken. Questions everywhere. And next on the schedule? A trip to […]
Notre Dame Baseball predicted to make the NCAA Tournament
If you have listened to anything Notre Dame Baseball Coach, Shawn Stiffler, has said over the past few months — there should be a decent amount of optimism running through your veins.

Will Notre Dame meet expectations this season?
It’s a long off-season, and that means there will be plenty of trolls, hacks, haters, and randoms that will choose to wake up one day and crap in the breakfast bowls of Notre Dame fans. They will do this with a one or all of the top four Irish hating phrases in our college football […]

SMU 89, Notre Dame 81: The Irish have fight, but keep losing

Should Notre Dame schedule North Dakota State on future football schedules?
One of the more fun tidbits of news from the last few days is that the North Dakota State Bison are moving from the FCS to the Mountain West Conference in the FBS. After decades of being the most dominant team in the FCS, it makes perfect sense for NDSU to make this move, and […]
