In a very welcome development, blue-chip WR Deion Colzie recommitted to Notre Dame today. He committed almost a year ago (which made us very happy) and decommitted about six months ago (which made us sad, no link but trust me), throwing his recruitment completely back open when he did. After his decommitment he picked up [...]
The win probability matrices are back! I'm sure you were all devastated at the thought that we might not have them this year... I didn't have time this year to do a preseason post or a Week 1 post, but I do now and I'll try to keep these coming every week. SP+ can be [...]
Welcome to the Duke Gameday Chat! A few years back we switched to Slack, a very popular chat and collaboration tool, for our gameday chat. Slack boasts much better functionality and ease of use, and it also works waaaay better on mobile devices. Reminder (or intro, if you’re new to it) on the ground rules: Real [...]
As we've continued to rack up markers on the chaotic demon bingo board that has been 2020, college football sometimes felt like an impossible dream. Yet here we stand, on the eve of a season destined to be odd but also an honest-to-God season. Stadiums will operate at 20% capacity. Tailgating is verboten at most [...]
Yes folks, as unlikely as it has seemed at various points this year, we're now just four days away from honest-to-god Notre Dame football. We're once again asking you, our beloved readers, for your opinions, projections, joy, saltiness, etc. for the upcoming season. We know the timeline is a bit tight this year, but hey [...]
Notre Dame added some weight, literally and figuratively, to the top of its 2021 class today when top 50 offensive lineman Rocco Spindler announced for the Irish at his high school. The 6'5", 315-pound Michigander became the third top 50 member of Notre Dame's class today, joining #41 Tyler Buchner and #50 Blake Fisher. Spindler [...]
Notre Dame’s recruiting roll continued today when 2021 TE Mitch Evans announced for the Irish. There was some recent buzz that the 6’6”, 240-pound Ohioan might stretch his recruitment out, but that buzz was apparently off base. As did a few other recent commits, Evans took a quasi-independent visit to campus recently; he came on [...]
Tyler Buchner finally has a backfield mate! Notre Dame added a long-desired running back to its 2021 class today when Logan Diggs announced his commitment for the Irish. Notre Dame made a big move for the 6'0", 195-pound Louisianan when they offered and he reportedly considered committing, but he wanted to take visits anyway when [...]
Notre Dame added its second 2022 commitment today when TE Jack Nickel announced for the Irish. The 6'4", 230-pound Georgian recently made an independent visit to campus, like recent 2021 commit Chance Tucker, which no doubt was a key factor in his decision. Prospects can't interact with anyone acting in an official capacity for the [...]
Grab your smelling salts: Notre Dame's 2021 class added its third cornerback today when Chance Tucker announced his pledge to the Irish. The 6'1", 170-pound Californian's recruitment reportedly was jolted, in a good way, by a stealth July 4th weekend visit with his father. Tucker is at least the third - what should we call [...]
The clocks have jumped ahead, the weather inches ever warmer, the birds warble their reveille once again. You know what that means - time to revive the Big Board! YEAH BUDDY! Huh? Spring, you say? Oh... Well, I guess it's a sign of that too. We hadn't noticed. Nice. In more significant news, we welcome [...]
This cycle featured a much smaller class than usual (only 18 high school kids originally, minus one who would be in this review had he not made a daring early bid for Fulmer Cup supremacy), and the entire class signed in December's early signing period. That led to a very quiet January and February period [...]
We thought it would be worthwhile to recap an eventful 2020 National Signing Day for your Fighting Irish. Well, now that we've covered all of that... The Irish signed what was expected to be their entire class during the early signing period in December, and [...]
My father once said that the definition of mixed feelings is watching your mother-in-law drive off a cliff in your new Cadillac. That feels like an apt description of Notre Dame's 2019 season - it was mostly very good, but the Caddy went careening over the precipice in Ann Arbor and it's impossible for that [...]
Was I Sleeping? Have I Slept? I wouldn't blame anyone who feels like the early signing period snuck up on them - Notre Dame's 2020 recruiting has been so quite for so long that it was easy to forget it was coming. The staff made big inroads early with its top targets and wrapped almost [...]
