A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
Notre Dame just had a masterful two days with transfer portal commitments, and most Irish fans are applauding this fantastic effort. As much talent as the Irish are bringing in, there is one position that still feels a little light. Notre Dame went into the portal with some needs, and most had the Irish pegged […]
If one were to examine the running score differential of this game compared to the one we just watched against Clemson, they’d look pretty darn similar. Miami was able to open up a bit of a lead in the second half and prevented Notre Dame from significantly cutting into it. However, the feel of this […]
Notre Dame finally got their kicker in the transfer portal and he’s from the Purdue Boilermakers. Spencer Porath, a sophomore from Brownsburg, Indiana, with two years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Notre Dame. I don’t have much to say about this. Notre Dame was absolutely going to get a kicker out of the portal, […]
If Notre Dame can’t recruit 5-Star wide receivers out of high school, they are well on their way to being more than competent of doing out of the transfer portal. After what has been an up and down — cold and hot — recruitment of Ohio State wide receiver, Mylan Graham, he has finally given […]
Of all of the needs that Notre Dame needed to get out of the transfer portal this cycle, perhaps no need was bigger (figuratively and literally) than at defensive tackle. On Tuesday, Notre Dame made public the transfer portal commitment of Pitt Panthers defensive tackle, Francis Brewu. Brewu was recruited to Pitt by new irish […]
Notre Dame has the best returning secondary in the country for 2026 with all four starters back and another brilliant recruiting class — but they wanted to add even more depth from the transfer portal moving forward. On Monday, Notre Dame has its public commitment from Michigan Wolverines defensive back, Jayden Sanders. Sanders is a […]
Notre Dame finally has their man. Next up from the transfer portal for the Irish is Alabama defensive end Keon Keeley. Keon Keeley is well known by Notre Dame fans as the talented former 5-Star prospect from Florida was once committed to the Irish before changing his mind and signing with the Alabama Crimson Tide […]
Here they come now… Notre Dame’s run in the transfer portal is a good one this year, and today most are being made public. Next up is Ohio State wide receiver, Quincy Porter. Porter was a 5-Star prospect in 2025 from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey. At 6’4” and 210 pounds, Porter is […]
Notre Dame may not have struggled in the transfer portal as much as some people would like to think. On Monday, it was announced that Colorado Buffaloes cornerback, DJ McKinney, is committed to the Fighting Irish. McKinney was a 3-Star recruit in the 2022 class from Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, Texas. McKinney was […]
There’s a running joke online right now which makes fun of Notre Dame for having ZERO transfer portal commitments and/or signings. As it’s been mentioned by a large number of people… that’s not going to last very long. Early last week we stated to hear that any Notre Dame commitments made through the portal will […]
It seemed like news was breaking all around on Sunday concerning Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman and some issues with the law. The situation stems from an alleged incident at a wrestling tournament in which Marcus’s son was competing in for Penn High School. Most in the media (ourselves included) heard the news […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had some recent slip ups — or bad games, if you will, and that has cost them in the polls. The Irish fell out of the top 25, but on Sunday, they showed that they still belong in the rankings with a whooping of #22 North Carolina.
The big question tonight would be how the Irish would mentally rebound after getting defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by some brutal officiating in their last contest against Cal. Unfortunately, this was a game where sheer want-to wouldn’t be enough. Notre Dame was simply beaten by a team that didn’t so much dominate […]
Before I even begin — what a fantastic game the Fiesta Bowl turned out to be. Miami VS Ole Miss could have been a real turd, but they gave college football fans one of those rare type of great games in the college football playoff. So how in the hell does ESPN start off their […]
Notre Dame ended its two game losing streak with a home blowout win over Boston College, 94-60.
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 […]
As Notre Dame looks to try and bring in a wide receiver from the transfer portal for its 2026 roster, they lose a wide receiver to the transfer portal. On Monday it was reported that Notre Dame WR KK Smith has entered the transfer portal. While Smith has not played a great deal during his […]
If you were looking forward to the openiong of the transfer portal to get a few big offseason wins for Notre Dame, this past weekend was probably a little disappointing. Let’s quickly recap some of went on, and then maybe we can exhale a little bit, and put things into perspective. GONE Arguably two of […]
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. While some fans were expecting a commitment or two, the players are allowed to visit schools — and definitley should. Notre Dame already has a number of players lined up for […]
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 […]
