A never-ending discussion about Notre Dame and the greater CFB landscape
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 […]
The Notre Dame women’s basketball team went on the road to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in ACC play… and someone should have reminded them that this game counts in the ACC standings. No. 18 Irish Fall In OT At Georgia Tech ATLANTA – The No. 18 Fighting Irish suffered their first defeat in […]
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 […]
Tis the season. In just a few days, the college football transfer portal will open and a key player from Notre Dame’s 2025 defense is throwing his hat in the ring. On Tuesday, Notre Dame defensive end, Joshua Burnham, announced that he will enter the transfer portal. Burnham arrived at Notre Dame as a freshmen […]
After a bit of a break; Joshua, Jude, and Brendan rip open the pod portal to break down all of the strange stuff surrounding the Notre Dame Football program over the past month. In this episode: And plenty more weaved in and out of the show. Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple […]
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 […]
After years of rumblings, Notre Dame and USC have officially put their football relationship on break status. Since 1926, the two programs have met 93 times. The Irish led the series heading into the recently announced pause, with 51 wins. The Trojans had 37 wins and five of the matchups concluded with ties. The most […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
