Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly sent a shot across the bow of college football Friday evening when the school announced the hiring of former Cincinnati defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman as Clark Lea's replacement at the same position. Please welcome Bob Hinton Defensive Coordinator/LB coach, @Marcus_Freeman1. ☘️ 📰 https://t.co/ZMIEQvRhun#GoIrish x #Rally pic.twitter.com/Ovy89FyBBb — Notre Dame [...]
No surprises came out of New Year's Day and the Rose Bowl, as Notre Dame lost to Alabama 31-14 in a game whose outcome was pretty much settled very early. I have no artsy lead to this, so let's just get right into it: Notre Dame is way better than in 2012, and it didn't [...]
We are just a few days from a NCAA Football Championship semi-final appearance, and to read Notre Dame fans on Twitter and elsewhere, one would think we'd rather eat lint. This Notre Dame Fighting Irish team has given us a great and entertaining season, and they have done so under difficult circumstances. We owe it [...]
"The Committee has great respect for Cincinnati." — RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) December 20, 2020 I think we can all agree that the “respect” shown towards Cincinnati is a transparent attempt to try and appease the college football fans (and certain media members) from thinking that Cincinnati had a chance to crack that top 4. He can [...]
When it comes down to it, Saturday's 34-10 loss to Clemson will mark a missed opportunity for Notre Dame. A missed opportunity to shove it in the face of anyone who talked about conference affiliation like it actually matters. A missed opportunity to put to bed any talk of an asterisk from the Nov. 7 [...]
The first big surprise of the early signing period (for Notre Dame anyway) occurred on Wednesday morning when it was announced that local legacy Ron Powlus III had signed his NLI with Notre Dame. The 6'3"/225-pounder out of Granger, Indiana joins a Notre Dame class that is currently ranked 9th in the country. The Penn [...]
Earlier this week, Disney owned the social media world with their Investor Day, which had some additions to ESPN+ (which is owned by Disney through ABC). I find it ironic then, that the most notable moment on the ESPN+ platform after this investors call was the iconic finish between Ball State and Western Michigan. ESPN+ [...]
Jeff Quinn continued his strong start to Notre Dame's 2022 offensive line haul on Thursday when offensive tackle Ty Chan gave his verbal commitment to the Fighting Irish. The 6'6"/275-pounder out of Massachusetts is the 2nd 4-star offensive lineman to join Notre Dame's class of 2022, and the 4th commit overall in a class that [...]
Notre Dame football received its 24th commit in the 2021 class on Wednesday when defensive end Devin Aupiu verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6'5"/220-pounder out of California had previously been committed to Chip Kelly and the UCLA Bruins since April, but a Notre Dame offer from the superior Kelly in late November would [...]
It's been a pretty standard drumbeat ever since the announcement came down in July that for one season, Notre Dame football would play a conference schedule, in the ACC. It might get a little louder over the next week-plus, as we lead up to the ACC title game between the Irish and Clemson. "Will they [...]
There are any number of things you could say about today's 45-21 Notre Dame victory over Syracuse that officially moves ND within 1 win of the College Football Playoff, but let me start with this: It's pretty nice that the Irish can play, frankly, a poor game and still win by 24, isn't it? That [...]
More so than any other season of college football, 2020 has proven to be the ultimate test for coaches. The pandemic has produced more unique challenges for every program and the cream has truly risen to the top when it comes to coaching. Now, I wanted take a moment to talk about the coaches who [...]
Notre Dame couldn't stop North Carolina and they lost one of their best defensive players to a targeting call in the second quarter. Deep trouble, right? Clark Lea laughs in the face of deep trouble. Notre Dame allowed 3 points in the final 3 quarters Friday and downed North Carolina, 31-17. It won't go down [...]
It wasn't the cleanest performance, but a sparkling performance from Ian Book and timely stops by the Notre Dame defense prevented Boston College from posing a real threat. While the Eagles surprisingly created seven scoring chances, they settled for early field goals while the Irish offense piled up touchdowns early (when not fumbling for dramatic [...]
"Let the past die...Kill it, if you have to." Today, Notre Dame followed Kylo Ren's advice and put away the whole "lose to BC a week after beating #1" storyline with a fairly easy 45-31 win over the Eagles. The game had no real business being that close, but whatever. The Irish moved to 8-0 [...]
