Predicting where Notre Dame will be ranked by the playoff committee
Tonight we get the first set of college football playoff rankings, and one of the bigger storylines going into all of this is Notre Dame and its possible placement. The Irish are currently ranked #10 in both the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll, but there have been rumblings of the Irish being looked […]
Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Navy Midshipmen: WEATHER REPORT
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back home this week for their annual Wookie Life Debt game against the Navy Midshipmen. Even in a blowout win, these games are never really fun — and it’s on the way other end of the spectrum of fun when things get dicey. The Irish are in the stretch […]
Notre Dame is off to a good start after 89-67 win over Long Island
The Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team got the season started right with a 89-67 win over Long Island inside Purcell Pavilion on Monday night. The Sharks were a unanimous preseason pick to win the NEC, so this isn’t a typical “victory over a small school to start the season” kind of a win. Speaking of […]
COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME THREAD: Notre Dame VS Long Island
Yes it’s college basketball season. Notre Dame has a lot of questions in front of them as they begin a new campaign under Micah Shrewsberry. Markus Burton will certainly lead the way for ND, but he will need a lot of help from his teammates — who we can just hope right now have improved […]
Irish are massive favorites (again) against the Navy Midshipmen
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 6-2 and ranked #10 in the country, and we are all eagerly awaiting the first set of college football playoff rankings to be released on Tuesday night. We are in the final month of the regular season, which should be good news for Notre Dame fans. Since 2018, the […]
Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Navy Midshipmen: Depth Charts
On Monday, Notre Dame released its depth charts for the upcoming game against the Navy Midshipmen. The list of injuries is starting to pile up, but the number of players not available at all this week remains the four that we knew about. Obviously — we should know more about the status of those listed […]
Online Overreactions: Notre Dame 25, Boston College 10
Woof. It’s rare that you don’t feel amazing about a double digit win, but that’s where we found ourselves. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish did beat the Boston College Eagles by 2 scores, but it was the process of the overall game that became insanely frustrating. Stalling drives, inexplicable fumbles, a defense that gave up […]
How Notre Dame’s opponents fared in week 10 of the college football season
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 […]
Notre Dame is in better than “striking” position for the playoff
When Notre Dame started the season 0-2 it was hard for those outside of the ND bubble to imagine this team making the college football playoff. Obviously, at the time, there were huge caveats put in place like winning 10 straight, and if they would have any good wins at all. It was very rational […]
Three Things We Saw in Notre Dame’s Win over BC
These games happen every year to every team, and Notre Dame fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their team was able to survive a sleepwalking affair on the road at Boston College, 25-10. Recent years’ experience have taught us that holding on for a win in such circumstances is far, far less […]

Notre Dame wins a clunker in Chestnut Hill over Boston College, 25-10
In a game that held a spread of 30.5 by kickoff, Notre Dame and Boston College found themselves in a clunker. The rule of a good team is, however, you win your clunkers. Notre Dame did that by a score of 25-10 and we can breathe a little bit. Notre Dame’s first two drives to […]

Most Notre Dame fans think the Irish will cover the massive spread against Boston College
The #12 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in Chestnut Hill to face the Boston College Eagles. This isn’t, however, the Boston College team that the Irish normally have faced throughout the Holy War series… this team is really, really bad. BC has just one win this season, and that was in the season opener […]
You probably won’t be able to watch Notre Dame VS Boston College on YouTube TV
There’s a big college football weekend on deck, and it’s likely going to be wildly different for fans to watch the games as Disney has pulled ABC, ESPN, and Disney off of YouTube TV. Over the years, fans have grown acustomed to media contract negotiations happening during football season, and this year is no different. […]
Marcus Freeman is embracing the Boston College rivalry this week
Over the course of this past week, a lot of things have been said about the rivalry between Notre Dame and Boston College. Perhaps the most common things said about the rivalry — is that it’s not a real rivalry. Irish fans have always been a little selective when using that term as opposed to […]

Will Notre Dame Football’s 2027 recruiting class follow in the footsteps of the 2026 class?
Currently, Notre Dame’s 2026 football recruiting class ranked #4 in the country by the 247 Team Composite and is a 27 man gem that has three 5-Stars and nine players ranked in the top 150. It’s the type of recruiting class that fans had envisioned when Notre Dame hired Marcus Freeman to be the head […]
Throwback Thursday: The Doctor, The Defender, and The Catholic Rivalry
When Brian Ratigan first arrived at the University of Notre Dame in August of 1989, he felt like a tiny fish in a very big, very talented pond. Just months earlier, he had been one of the most celebrated high school athletes in the country — the Gatorade Player of the Year in Iowa, a […]
Notre Dame Football: Hot and Cold Takes VS the Boston College Eagles
How’d We Do Last Week? Wildly Inaccurate I mean… specifically calling out for Price to NOT have a kick return TD is pretty hilarious. Most Interesting ND Dominated the lines of scrimmage and played the game Michigan was desperately hoping to play. Most Accurate Im doing something a little unprecedented…..Irish in the Hammer has the […]
