TRIPLE THREAT: Will Black, Bryce Young, and Khary Adams

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 […]

NCAA LACROSSE: Notre Dame loses to Princeton in the National Championship Game

Overall, it was a fantastic season for the Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse team. It was a season where they reigned as the #1 team for 7 weeks and beat the #1 team in the nation two games in a row — they just didn’t have another one in them on Monday in the National Championship […]

NCAA LACROSSE FINAL FOUR: Notre Dame vs Syracuse

Notre Dame is in position to win another Men’s Lacrosse National Championship, and they’ve made it to the final four. Facing the Irish are the Syracuse Orange — for a little ACC on ACC crime.

No, Notre Dame should NOT play BYU every year

The idea of Notre Dame and BYU playing annually as a new “Holy War” in college football isn’t anything new. You can crawl through the archives of message board for the past 20 years and find this exact topic brought up by college football fans — though probably not that many Notre Dame fans. Notre […]

TRIPLE THREAT: Ty Washington, Tae Johnson, and Tiki Hola

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 […]

What Happened the Last Time Notre Dame Played Rice?

Looking ahead to a season full of familiar foes, we’re going to be taking some time this offseason to look at what happened the last time each of Notre Dame’s 2026 opponents met the Irish on the football field. Week two brings us to an opponent who isn’t scary, but also doesn’t feel totally safe […]

ACC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT: Irish advance after 5-4 win over Clemson

Notre Dame kept its season alive with a 5-4 win over the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Jayce Lee was an absolute villain against the Tigers with a 3-3 performance that included two doubles and a home run. The Irish will now take on Virginia Tech in the next round. […]

When, Where, and How to watch Notre Dame vs Clemson in ACC Tournament

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are ready to prove the doubters wrong, and maybe even right the wrongs done by their own hands. On Tuesday, Notre Dame will take on Clemson in the first round of the ACC Baseball Tournament. In some ways it feels like a reset of sorts. When Notre Dame played Clemson […]

Notre Dame Baseball: Irish get the No. 10 Seed in ACC Tournament

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had an up and down baseball season, but did manage to win 11 of its last 12 games of the season — which was the best record in the country during that time. Notre Dame’s overall record of 30-21 and 13—17 in the ACC isn’t great — but it’s respectable. […]

What Happened the Last Time Notre Dame Played Each of its 2026 Opponents?

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 […]

Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 5-Star DL David Folorunsho commits to the Irish

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 […]
