A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
Ole Miss Rebels vs Miami Hurricanes in the Fiesta Bowl. I have no words for this game, other than I am openly rooting for Ole Miss — but not for the obnvious reasons. If it can happen, Ole Miss winning the national championship would be the funniest outcome possible by a mile. The open thread […]

We are almost a week into college football’s transfer portal season, and it probably goes without saying… Notre Dame fans are more than a little bit anxious. All we have seen over the last (almost) week are transfer portal departures from Notre Dame. There hasn’t been a single commitment/signing, and a number of early targets […]

Some games are remembered for the score. Others are remembered for what they begin. When Notre Dame opened the 1981 season, the anticipation wasn’t just about returning starters, preseason rankings, or national title dreams still lingering from 1980. It was about a new face on the sideline, a new voice in the locker room, and […]

The first few days of the college football transfer portal were less than ideal for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. We’ve gone over the details multiple times, so there’s no sense in rehashing them again in this article (for now). What some people are calling the “2nd part of the portal window” is now upon […]

We are heading into day five of the transfer portal, and Notre Dame still does not have a single commitment. We keep refreshing the twitter machine and snooping around, and it’s not just that there have been no commitments for Notre Dame — it’s that the players they have targeted keep cancelling visits to South […]

The Notre Dame women’s basketball team was on the road again, and the Irish drop their second game in a row. This time it was against ACC rival Duke 82-68, and Notre Dame looked out of the sorts (and pretty much out of the game) early, and never got much going. No. 18 Irish Drop […]

The college football transfer portal opened yesterday and it’s been reported that over 3000 college football players have submitted their names into the system.

Well that was exactly how we did NOT want the Notre Dame Football season to end. It’s been a few weeks since that dreadful selection show on Sunday, December 7th. I am sure I speak for many when I say that I am still not over our Irish not getting chosen into the field. It’s […]

A double reversal of a four point play by Cal to tie up the game against Notre Dame with a few seconds left in the game, had Micah Shrewsberry erupting like a volcano once the game was finally over. The official result will read; Cal 72, Notre Dame 71 — but perhaps a referee count […]

First of all, I would like to lead this piece off with an apology to my mother, grandmothers, several aunts, and any other relatives who may be offended by the repeated use of a certain scatological expletive in this piece (my daughter and nieces fortunately aren’t old enough to read). I hope you all understand […]

The departure of Notre Dame linebackers coach, Max Bullough, created a big opening in the Irish staff at a position that is still loaded for the 2026 football season. Notre Dame is choosing to fill that role with an inside hire — irish defensive line coach, Al Washington. There were reports last month that both […]

As the calendar turns and we say goodbye to 2025, I’ve been thinking less about polls and playoff debates—and more about the moments that defined this Notre Dame season. Not rankings.Not selections.Moments. Here’s how I’ll remember the year: one defining play and one standout player from each of the 12 games. Week 1 at Miami […]

This was, without qualification, the ugliest basketball game I have ever had the displeasure of watching. I’ve seen games that have made me madder. I have seen games the Irish have played worse. But I have never seen a game where two teams have simultaneously been this inept at playing the actual sport of basketball. […]

It’s ridiculous that this has come down to this, but the internet battle about the demise of the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry between Notre Dame and USC and the fallout surrounding it all, is continuing to rage. It’s all kinds of ridiculousness right now with Lincoln Riley and USC sycophants trying to rewrite recent history. It’s […]

Notre Dame has had a few moments of real struggle this season, but the game against Pitt definitely wasn’t one of them. Hannah Hidalgo scored 30 and Iyana Moore added 23 to help beat down the Panthers, 94-59.

Happy New Years (early)! On Monday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced on X that he will return to Notre Dame to be the head coach in 2026. So that’s the good news. To be honest, I heard about a month ago that the contract extension was done and Freeman was locked into Notre […]

As we close the book on another Notre Dame football season, I keep coming back to one unavoidable conclusion: at the end of the season, Notre Dame was one of the best teams in the country. Hands down. This team lost its first two games by a combined four points. Four. Then they turned around […]

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 […]

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 […]
