Notre Dame defensive back Karson Hobbs will enter the transfer portal
On Saturday it was reported that Notre Dame defensive back, Karson Hobbs, will enter the transfer portal. Hobbs had a rough start to the Notre Dame football season in 2025. While no single player can be blamed for either of Notre Dame’s two losses in 2025, Karson Hobbs’s dropped interception late against Texas A&M is […]
Billy Schrauth’s decision to leave Notre Dame for the NFL Draft hurts Notre Dame
These words will sound familiar… Sometimes I think fans kind of glaze over the departure of offensive linemen. Regardless if the player is transferring or leaving for the NFL — it never really is met with as much concern as other positions. Maybe it’s because we look at the offensive line as more of a […]
Notre Dame Football Recruiting: Austrailian Punter Jasper Scaife commits to the Irish
Notre Dame’s top 5 class for 2026 grew even larger this week when Austrailian punter Jasper Scaife gave his commitment to the Fighting Irish. It was recently ruled by the NCAA that James Rendell was out of eligibility to punt at Notre Dame. It was a bit of a blow, and a bit wild to […]
EARNED 5-STAR PODCAST: Our Traditional Christmas Eve present to you is Notre Dame’s Hawaii Bowl victory
Merry Christmas! We know there is a lot going on this week with family time and watching USC grow the biggest yellow belly we’ve ever seen – but we also can’t forget one of our greatest traditions. Christmas Eve marks the 16th anniversary of Notre Dame’s 49-21 win over the Hawaii Warriors in the Hawaii […]
Notre Dame Football: 2026 Transfer Portal Tracker
The transfer portal might be the biggest difference maker every year now in college football. Whether it’s players leaving or players arriving, the effect on every roster in the country is seen and felt throughout the season. Notre Dame is no different than anyone else in this regard, and we’ve seen the impact out on […]
After USC ran away scared, Notre Dame soaks up the glory of BYU on the schedule
It’s funny how funny things can be — even at the expense of yourself. Let’s run this timeline past you for a quick second: Notre Dame Football Announces Series with BYU SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame football team has announced that Notre Dame and Brigham Young University will play at Edwards Stadium […]
The cowardice of USC to run away from Notre Dame is unmatched
For all of the grief Notre Dame has received from different parts of the college football world for skipping a bowl game this year, it was all misplaced hate and a waste of time. That hate and time should have been reserved for Monday’s bombshell news that saw the end of the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry […]
Notre Dame Women’s Basketball: Irish blow out Bellarmine inside Purcell Pavilion, 110-38
In game two inside Purcell Pavilion today, the Notre Dame women’s basketball team didn’t fall victim to a small school — unlike their male counterparts earlier in the day. A lot of that is due to Hannah Hidalgo’s giant day as she tallied a triple double with 30 points, 13 steals, and 10 assists.
Notre Dame upset at home by Purdue Fort Wayne, 72-69
We can’t have nice things. There was some momentum moving in favor of Notre Dame and its basketball hopes this season, but against the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastadons, they really looked like they miss Markus Burton more than ever. The Irish trailed at halftime, could never get over the hump, and eventually fell to the […]
Aamil Wagner’s decision to leave Notre Dame for the NFL Draft hurts Notre Dame
Sometimes I think fans kind of glaze over the departure of offensive linemen. Regardless if the player is transferring or leaving for the NFL — it never really is met with as much concern as other positions. Maybe it’s because we look at the offensive line as more of a unit than a “room” when […]
College Football Playoff First Round: OPEN THREAD
Well it’s Saturday and we just saw the Alabama Crimson Tide beat the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday night in the first game of the college football playoff while Notre Dame sits at home. Anways… the thread is open for the day’s action. Have fun.
College Football Playoff First Round: STAFF PICKS
The college football playoff is here and it hits quite a bit differently this year after Notre Dame got hosed by the committee in the final two sets of the playoff rankings — but I’ve already done that post. As I’ve said before, I am not doing a silly boycott of the playoffs (or the […]
Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore are UNANIMOUS All-Americans
On Thursday, the FWAA released its All-American team, and Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore were both listed as first team All-Americans. The FWAA was the last of the five services to publish its All-American team, and with it, Love and Moore are now Unanimous All-Americans. Love, Moore Earn Unanimous All-America Honors; Love, Moore, […]
How long do you think the fix was in for Notre Dame with the playoff committee?
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably still not over the screwjob that the college football playoff committee gave Notre Dame just a few weeks ago. The fact that the first round of playoff games start tomorrow, really only invigorates our disdain and disgust. I plan on watching every playoff game, and I really don’t […]
Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Narrowly Defeat the Rainbow Warriors
When I climbed into my car Monday morning and the temperature read 14 degrees, I knew immediately that I needed a little mental warmth to start the week. Something sunny. Something tropical. Something far, far away from icy windshields and frozen fingers. So for this week’s Throwback Thursday, I took a trip back to paradise […]
More postseason All-American accolades come in for Notre Dame
We are still on track for Notre Dame to have two unanimous All-Americans with Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore after the release of the Sporting News All-American teams today. An extra cherry on top was Jadarian Price’s selection as a first team kick returner. From the ND press release: Love, Moore, Price Named 2025 The […]
Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price declares for the NFL Draft
On Tuesday, Jeremiyah Love announced his decision to leave Notre Dame a year early for the NFL Draft, so it really comes as an act of mercy that one day later, Jadarian Price announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft with a year of eligibility left on the table. Notre Dame fans didn’t have […]
Looking ahead at Notre Dame Football’s roster management for 2026
With Notre Dame’s 2025 college football season at an abrupt end, we can start to focus on roster management and the possibilities to come with NFL Draft entries and transfer portal transactions. Notre Dame’s recruiting class for 2026 is signed and set, and with the exception of the increased likelihood of 2027 QB Teddy Jarrard […]
Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love declares for the NFL Draft
Despite the little drops of hope, we all knew this was coming. Notre Dame running back, Jeremiyah Love has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft. Love came to Notre Dame in 2023 as a highly rated running back with a huge amount of upside because of his incredible athleticism. He received a lot of Ricky […]
Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore looking to make the consensus All-American jump to UNANIMOUS
The third All-American team that counts toward the “consensus” and “unanimous” selections just came out on Tuesday with the release of the AFCA All-American Team.

Notre Dame Football Stats: 2006 Georgia Tech Game Review
Notre Dame football kicked off the 2006 season with an away game at Georgia Tech. The 2005 Irish team finished with a 9-3 overall record and Georgia Tech’s prior squad had finished with a 7-5 season. It was the first time that the two programs had faced off since the Gator Bowl in 1999. Tech […]
Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 4-Star North Carolina cornerback Xavier Hasasn commits to the Irish
Despite all of the noise out there, Notre Dame football is still putting in the work and continually carving a place for itself as one of the best programs in the country. To do that, the irish have hit the recruiting trail hard to bring in the best talent to South Bend. On Monday, 4-Star […]

Jeremiyah Love finishes 3rd in the Heisman Trophy voting
There really was no hope for Jeremiyah Love to win the Heisman Trophy after Wilfredo Aybar did the most Stanford thing ever and dropped a cheapshot knee into the ribs of Love — who was just tring to get up off of the ground after the play was over. Going into that game, Love had […]
Notre Dame 82, Evansville 58: Irish calmly dismantle Purple Aces
Today’s game against the Evansville Purple Aces wasn’t supposed to involve a lot of drama, and credit to the Irish for making sure there wasn’t. Notre Dame has already played several teams below Evansville (rank: 280) on the KenPom rankings, so particularly with Markus Burton in street clothes, this was by no means the easiest […]
