The Irish faithful received a bit of good recruiting news heading into the bye weekend when linebacker/defensive end Dom Hulak verbally committed to Notre Dame on Friday. The 6'3"/225-pounder out of the Chicagoland area is the 8th commit in Notre Dame's recruiting Class of 2025 -- a class which currently ranks 3rd in the nation. [...]
Back in 2019 I embarked on an off-season journey to create a Notre Dame Hall of Fame Pyramid. You can see the results of that effort HERE for a refresher. A couple of years later we inducted Ian Book (16th best quarterback), Chase Claypool (14th best wide receiver), Cole Kmet (10th best tight end), Liam [...]
Your weekly dose of Notre Dame news, opinion, and other stuff. Top News Notre Dame came in at no. 20 this week in the College Football Playoff rankings with Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida State in the top 4 spots.

The college football season is coming to its conclusion soon and during Notre Dame's 2nd bye week what better time than now to take a look at the head coach's doing a mighty fine job in 2023. As always, we aren't including the super obvious candidates (great job over there, Kirby Smart!) and want to [...]
Another week, another bitterly disappointing defeat against a team you can argue Notre Dame had no business losing to. A season that began with dreams of a playoff bid will now culminate in a 2nd or 3rd tier bowl game. The most frustrating aspect of this slide is that the Irish defense has clearly taken [...]
It was closer than we'd have liked, but the Micah Shrewsberry's ND coaching career started with a win for the Irish. Behind a record breaking night from Markus Burton, Notre Dame beat Niagara 70-63 at Purcell Pavilion. The Indiana Mr. Basketball scored 29 points to break the record for a freshman debut previously held by [...]
The 10th week of college football brought us an impressive offensive performance in Tuscaloosa, the defending champions remaining undefeated and extends their winning streak to 26 games, plus Washington stays atop of the Pac-12 with a big win inside the Coliseum. In the ACC, Florida State has clinched its first league championship game appearance in [...]
The line heading into this game did feel a little curious but it's example 9 million of how Vegas knows best as the Irish crashed and burned their boats on another trip Clemson on Saturday afternoon. The team fought back from a 1st half deficit and then couldn't complete a thorough comeback (or a pass) [...]
PROLOGUE Here are some interesting stats . . . […]
The Irish defense dominated, special teams fueled an early lead and some late style points, and the Notre Dame offense righted the ship after a shaky start to demolish Pitt. For a second straight game Marcus Freeman's squad found some easy points outside the core phases of the game with 5 takeaways and special teams [...]

Xavier Watts was named the Bronco Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week again. Benjamin Morrison a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist. Notre Dame debuted at [...]
Washington continues to look wobbly following the win over Oregon but haven't dropped one since with a couple close calls. The same can't be said for Oklahoma who got rock chalked over the weekend and will need to fight back into the playoff picture. By the way, the first College Football Playoff rankings come out [...]
Sorry for the lack of Mid Major Content, the 18S family grew by one more last Monday. Do not worry, the little one already has gotten the talk from me that we love Notre Dame first, then mid major football second. Without further ado, let's dive into the new top ten. Also Considered: Georgia Southern, [...]
Notre Dame came out with a few mistakes offensively then put some adversity behind them to bury the Pitt Panthers on Saturday afternoon in South Bend. The win moves the Irish to 7-2 in Marcus Freeman's second season with the program while lowly Pittsburgh falls down to 2-6 with top 10 ranked Florida State headed [...]
After a 2-year break the historic rivalry game between Notre Dame and Pittsburgh is back on this weekend live from South Bend. Back in the 2020 meeting, quarterback Kenny Pickett was injured, Pitt gained 162 total yards, and the 42-point Irish win was the 2nd worst defeat of the Pat Narduzzi era. A lot has [...]
