I'm positive someone at Notre Dame pitched an idea for paNDemic and made up a really snazzy graphic for it. Show it to the world. Should Jeopardy! come on before Wheel of Fortune? I think I prefer Jeopardy! to have the 7:30 time slot but I can never decide. The COVID-19 outbreak and its lasting [...]
The football updates are few and far between these days. Although things are trending in a much more positive direction for a college football season to take place in the fall (the Navy game has moved to Annapolis for the first time ever!) we're left waiting mostly on updates from recruiting and the transfer portal. [...]
Why do NFL teams change their uniforms? From the current franchises Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, Dallas, Green Bay, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas (this feels weird to type), New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Washington have all kept a consistent aesthetic for a considerable amount of time. That's 13 teams so about 40% of the league. [...]
Who has put together the greatest seasons for a skilled position player in Notre Dame history? That's a quest we will unlock today with a handful of caveats. One, we're not going to include the quarterback position as most fans tend to know those great seasons already. Therefore, we'll only take a look at rushing [...]
Back on May 20th there were numerous reports that the NBA is in discussions with Orlando about re-starting their season while possibly housing players and their franchise staff within the confines of Walt Disney World. It would be an unprecedented move for professional sports in North America and would include the ability to navigate numerous [...]
Many college football fans don't know the joy of one of their players winning the Heisman. However, a whole bunch more know about the pain of one of their players not winning the Heisman or getting close and just missing out. The Fighting Irish have 7 Heisman winners, tied for the most all-time. It's been [...]
Rock may not be dead but it certainly isn't very popular anymore. Take a look over the Billboard list of best-selling albums of 2019 and there are a total of zero traditional rock bands among the top 100. The closest you can get to something in the neighborhood is the pop rock of Panic! At [...]
Despite missing out on Will Shipley to Clemson last week the good news for Notre Dame recruiting continued in the form of graduate transfer cornerback Nick McCloud from NC State. He will come to South Bend with one year of eligibility remaining. McCloud was a 2016 commit for the Wolfpack out of South Pointe High [...]
Apologies as we've been slacking with the recruiting updates lately. Today, we'll catch everyone up on the recent commits in an extra special 3-for-1 recruiting article. Following a quiet late winter and early spring as the COVID-19 outbreak challenged programs all across the country we have seen an uptick in movement out of South Bend [...]
The greatest musical artists of all-time made mistakes. No, I'm not talking about the intrusion of Yoko Ono or the decision to spend 8 minutes and 22 seconds of precious Beatles record space with "Revolution 9." Those are both low-hanging fruit that everyone talks about. I've got other more intriguing things to talk about. As [...]
There have been so many "yeah but wait until next year's class" comments made about Notre Dame football recruiting that it's hard to keep track of which cycles received this tag in the past. In recent years it seems like it has been every cycle as the Irish inevitably start strong and close with a [...]
If you're not watching the long-awaited The Last Dance documentary about Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls what are you even doing with your life? While the ridiculousness of some of the 90's era suits and outfits have received plenty of attention throughout the episodes this is the perfect opportunity to discuss the game-changing [...]
I grew up playing travel hockey which means hundreds of hours in a car listening to the radio. Remember listening to music on the radio? As a kid, I digested a wide palette in Western New York from 97 Rock, Kiss 98.5, and Oldies 104. A little mixture of The Who, MC Hammer, and The [...]
On April 22nd Muffet McGraw shocked the college basketball world by stepping down from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish after 33 seasons in South Bend and 38 seasons overall as a head coach. As we deal with the current pandemic in a time without sports--and a college season that never concluded--it feels like a bizarre [...]
