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 [...]
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 [...]
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. The 2024 Notre Dame football team has hit some crazy highs and fallen lower than the Marianas Trench with 75% of the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Another week another full slate of college football games. While some of the 18S Staff may want to take this weekend off, I personally think college football is something to celebrate! There are some fun games this week, renewed rivalries, up and coming programs looking to establish themselves. Let's dive into all of the week [...]
Don't you just love it when the entire perception of your favorite team is shattered within the span of a week? Right after the Texas A&M victory, I began work on an article title titled "Why You Should Trust Notre Dame this Season" where I would gush about how Marcus Freeman has transformed this program [...]
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 [...]
"You know this Notre Dame team? The team that won last week against Texas A&M? Turns out they have a history of not playing up to that standard in the following week. That's why the AD set up this game for them. This whole game is a trap." Northern Illinois at Notre Dame (-28) Notre [...]
Welcome back to the second week of the Quad Box. The Quad Box that was actually put in for the noon slate was possible, which was a fun surprise for those who followed the recommendations here. Before we dive into the rest of the weekend's picks, I will acknowledge that there is one of these [...]
Repeat after me: There is no such thing as a bad top-20 road win. Notre Dame played an occasionally sloppy, uneven game Saturday night at Texas A&M. But at money time, the Irish dominated, and they ended the Aggies' four-game home win streak against Top 10 foes with a 23-13 triumph that serves as Marcus [...]
Hey everyone - real quick post here on gameday chat. For those of you newish around here, we use Slack for our gameday chat and archive the conversation shortly after the game. So emota-posting (within reason, lol) is ok in there as it won't live forever. We have the channel for tonight's game set up. [...]
After the dark unknown of the offseason (and to a different extent the previous postseason), we have finally arrived at a full slate of football this Saturday. With so many games going on in a given week, there are only so many games you can pay attention to right? Wrong! (Well also technically true but [...]
