Since Notre Dame and Alabama met for the 2012 BCS National Championship a lot has transpired. The Irish will soon be picking their 4th new defensive coordinator as Clark Lea soon heads to Vanderbilt and they are already on their 4th new offensive coordinator since that fateful night in Miami. Alabama has changed offensive coordinators [...]
What is this? We're ranking the Notre Dame blue home uniforms from best to worst. For reference, check out the introduction post below to find out how we're grading each set and how we came to determine what is good and bad in Irish sartorial history. Ranking Notre Dame Football's Home Blue Uniforms: An Intro [...]
Notre Dame's uniforms are important, historic, and symbolic. This is especially true for the home blue uniforms that the program has worn for a majority of their games in South Bend. I am going to embark on a journey to rank the best home Notre Dame uniforms of all-time. A few caveats that will be [...]
Some people are really mad about the way the playoff teams were selected this year, namely that Notre Dame grabbed the 4th seed over the likes of Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, or even Coastal Carolina. Let me see if I can break down the biggest issues with college football and its handling of the post-season. [...]
It's amazing to look back and see that Notre Dame started 4-2 in 2005 and that felt like a breakthrough which led to Charlie Weis' 10-year extension completed a mere 56 days after his first game in South Bend with the team not even in the Top 10 when it was signed. That may be [...]
For the 3rd time in 9 years a Notre Dame player has won the Butkus Award as the best linebacker in the country. On Monday afternoon, redshirt junior Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah joined Manti Te'o and Jaylon Smith as the winners of this prestigious individual award. Also, for good measure incoming 2021 recruit Prince Kollie won the [...]
Notre Dame does not win a conference as Clemson wins their 7th straight ACC title, Alabama wins their 7th SEC title under Saban, and in general the favorites performed well during Championship Saturday. For a moment, it looked like it could be a drama-filled Sunday for the playoff committee rankings but not enough craziness happened [...]
We waited 2 weeks for that performance. Two weeks to watch Notre Dame fall on its face on the big stage. Again. We believed, and most of the country believed, that maybe this year was different. As was mentioned in the promo video leading up to the game, the Irish were just 'built different.' Clemson [...]
This whole conference football thing has been pretty easy! This Saturday afternoon the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame--in their lone season of conference football in school history--will compete for the Atlantic Coast Conference title. Meeting them on the other side of the field is a familiar modern foe, the Clemson Tigers. This will be the [...]
Hello friends, and welcome to the 4th edition of the modern Early Signing Day for college football. Technically, today ushers in an Early Signing Period which extends through Saturday, December 19th. It's been a wild recruiting cycle thanks to Covid largely shutting down operations across the country but for Notre Dame the script has largely [...]
Last week we wondered where all the drama was for this season and finally we got some good stuff on our television screens. Florida was upset in hilarious fashion, Miami was absolutely stomped, while we couldn't be so lucky as to witness UCLA upset USC. Still, it was a good bye week for Notre Dame [...]
It's that time of year where the college football season is winding down and we have data points on the coaches who are Doing Good Things. It's been a weird year where a large group of coaches don't have many data points to begin with so there's a lot of questions about just how good [...]
The thing about winning a big game is it usually leads to more big games. So that fate awaits Notre Dame coming off an undefeated regular season as a rematch with Clemson looms large in the ACC Championship Game next weekend. The national spotlight is always on the Irish but now the heat is going [...]
It seems like the top 7 in our poll has been in place since September and that's really not that different than reality. Another week has passed and the same teams remain entrenched at the top. Someone is knocking on the door though and they are from Myrtle Beach! 18 Stripes Top 20 Poll [...]
Notre Dame didn't quite move into upset watch in the first half against Syracuse but things were tense for far too long. Thanks to a late 2nd quarter flurry, the Irish built up a nice halftime lead and spent the rest of the game keeping the Orange at arm's length to clinch a comfortable, if [...]
