A Complete Game: Stanford Instant Reaction

For a little while Saturday, it looked like Stanford was hitting all the checkpoints for an annoyingly stupid Notre Dame game against a lesser opponent that went down to the wire. Not this time, though. Notre Dame exploded for 49 straight points after an opening Cardinal touchdown drive and cruised to the 49-7 win in [...]

Deuce Knight’s Decommitment is the Latest Thing Making This Fan Base Crazy

Top QB recruit Deuce Knight publicly flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Auburn Wednesday night. Apparently, he was impressed with Auburn making him a priority for 2 months after publicly failing to flip 2 other quarterbacks, versus the two years ND made him their #1. (I'm not bitter at all.) Personally, and I swear [...]

Louisville Game Preview: This Game is the Season

What a year, huh? First we had that delicious road victory against a favored SEC team, then the devastating loss to NIU, and oh, I see we're not even halfway through the schedule.

At Least They Won This Time: Miami (OH) Instant Reaction

For the second straight home game, Notre Dame looked like a tire fire for much of the first half against a MAC opponent Saturday, but this time, at least, the Irish managed to pull itself together and post a workmanlike 28-3 victory over Miami (OH). That should at least calm the frustrated masses who, in [...]

An Annoying Blowout: Purdue Instant Reaction

In the most annoying blowout in Notre Dame football history, the Irish looked like the team we were promised all offseason Saturday, blasting a Purdue team that frankly looked like they were done about seven minutes into the game by a 66-7 margin. With every touchdown, the Irish's utter no-show against Northern Illinois looked more [...]

It’s All Over: Northern Illinois Instant Reaction

Notre Dame is the Make-a-Wish team of college football. I'll explain. Notre Dame only exists as a husk. A former blue blood whose only purpose in this sport is to make dreams come true for other programs. UConn. Tulsa. South Florida. Duke. (A half-dozen other programs nearly joined this list late in the Brian Kelly [...]
