In case you missed it, we rated the very best trophies in sports and now we turn to the very worst. In the wide world of sports there are some amazing trophies presented to players and what we cover here today are the black sheep of champions. Some are overrated, some ugly, and some well [...]
It's been an unprecedented month for the whole world including for college football whose spring practices came to a sudden halt in March. For Notre Dame, they will head into the uncertainty of summer with just one practice from spring and virtually nothing achieved for player development. Obviously, it's thrown everything for the program into [...]
For the purposes of this content today I needed to establish some parameters. Since this is primarily a college football blog I need to point out that rivalry trophies are not included in today's list. The good reason for that is the sheer amount of college football rivalry hardware that would need to be combed [...]
Some day it'll happen and it will be glorious. In Part 1 of this series we discussed the now defunct NCAA Football franchise and if you've played that in the past, or it's professional counterpart Madden, you'll know game-maker EA Sports isn't in the business of knocking your socks off every year. When you look [...]
I have descended the mountain after many hours of quarantine study of uniforms and I'm here to give the people what they want. Pure unadulterated alternate uniform judgement. There are several I wanted to give respect to before breaking into the top 12. Honorable Mention: Virginia 2018 Orange Jerseys The Cavaliers recent update is a [...]
Do you realize how many opponents Notre Dame football has faced since 1887? Well, if not you're going to find out today! Is it even possible to actually rank all of them according to rivalry and what kind of methodology would someone use to achieve such an absurd task? I have good news, I'm not [...]
I'm what they are now calling a Late Xennial, a micro generation from Generation X. Born in 1982, I can remember playing an Atari in 1986 and a Nintendo at friend's homes around the same time before my brother got his own NES for Christmas in 1988. Our family bought an Apple IIGS in 1987 [...]
Today we wrap up our NFL Scouting reports for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish looking to be picked in this month's Draft. We've discussed some likely top picks, some long shots, and now we will conclude the series with perhaps the most intriguing prospect coming out of South Bend this year. SPECS Name: Khalid Kareem [...]
We all have our favorite versions of our favorite video games. Like many who are reading this right now if I had to take one video game to a deserted island it would definitely be NCAA Football. But, which version was the best? Bill Walsh College Football kicked the series off in June 1993, who [...]
We are close to wrapping up our scouting reports for Notre Dame's 2020 NFL hopefuls and today we look at the second Irish safety wishing for his name to be called during the Draft. SPECS Name: Jalen Elliott Position: S Height: 6-0 (per the Combine) Weight: 205 (per the Combine) Hometown: Richmond, VA STATS [...]
There was a time where Julian Okwara was a backup heading into his junior year and then there were reports he was making a move during fall camp. Since that moment, Okwara has grown into one of the top pro prospects on the Irish roster, and despite a senior year injury, might be the first [...]
Today's scouting report looks at a prospect that was so far off Notre Dame's and the NFL's radar 4 years ago that it's a testament to hard work and perseverance that this safety is in a position to possibly earn a paycheck playing professionally. Following a very solid college career but a disappointing training season [...]
Once upon a time there were questions about what kind of player Chase Claypool would be at Notre Dame. Would he stay on offense? Would he be better developing into a defensive end? These questions didn't linger very long once he made it to campus. However, shortly before the NFL Combine there was talk that [...]
It's probably not what you think it is. If you ask Irish fans their thoughts on Notre Dame's uniforms I bet a majority would mention the changes and abundance of alternates worn over the last decade, or generally how things are different now compared to the past. While this is true, it only partly explains [...]
It's a tough world out there for running backs in the NFL. To the surprise of some, the Irish lost Tony Jones Jr. a year early as he decided to forego his 5th-year of eligibility and enter the pro ranks. Last year, 25 backs were selected by NFL teams but 14 of them came over [...]
