The #5/7/7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0) steamrolled the Cleveland State Vikings (0-3) 17-7 in front of nearly 1000 fans in the Loftus Sports Center. The Irish open the season with an impressive showing in all aspects of the game. The Irish finished the first half up 12-1, allowing the entire roster to get valuable [...]
Notre Dame mens' lacrosse brought their preseason training into focus with scrimmages against Detroit Mercy and Air Force. The boys are finishing with two off weeks to heal before starting their official season. Special thanks to our followers @The_Broganator9 and @ThePLLPearl, along with the youth coaching community attending the ND Coaching Clinic, for being generous [...]
Notre Dame men's lacrosse defensive coordinator Ryan Wellner took a few minutes with ND-Atl 2.o to answer some questions about life on campus and the upcoming season. We are excited and grateful that he found the time to help us ramp up our 18 Stripes lacrosse coverage for the 2020 season! The Data Coach Wellner [...]
In the last post, I talked about how the College Football Hall of Fame uses narrow criteria to determine the pool of potential inductees. Today, I want to take a look at some of the Notre Dame players of the 21st Century that will never hear their name called into the College Football Hall of [...]
I have always had an awareness of the College Hall of Fame since I was a child. I even went to the version that was in South Bend was I was seven years old and on my first visit to Notre Dame. It was perfectly fine. I had never put much more thought into it [...]
We are excited for the start of the 2020 Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's lacrosse season! The boys begin the season ranked #7 in Inside Lacrosse and #6 with US Lacrosse Magazine. They will get their preparations rolling with a scrimmage against local rival Detroit Mercy this weekend. ND-Atl 2.0 takes the lead again this [...]
On the last day of the 2010s, it seems appropriate to look back at the decade in men's hoops. While this year's team has shown some flashes, it's largely been blowouts of overmatched opponents and frustrating losses otherwise. Instead, let's look back at happier times and remember 10 years filled with seven NCAA bids, two [...]
Sweet, sweet bowl victory! Irish held Iowa State to only 9 points aka the fewest points @NDFootball's given up in a bowl game since the 1993 Cotton Bowl! #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/VHAnrA9Fm0 — The Fighting Irish (@FightingIrish) December 28, 2019 The mood around the Notre Dame program wasn't great this week. As the Camping World Bowl approached, [...]
Ten years ago, Notre Dame football was in crisis. Charlie Weis had just been let go and Brian Kelly was about to start his rebuild of the program. The 2009 season was over without a bowl game and the Irish were once again stepping into the unknown. The finale of this series will discuss the [...]
Earlier today, news came out that the Offensive Coordinator Formerly Known As Chip Long and Notre Dame mutually agreed to part ways. Obviously this opens up an enormous vacancy for the Irish, who have a high-ranking offense. I decided to take a look at some of the candidates for the job and believe that Notre [...]
Ten years ago this week, Jack Swarbrick made one of the most consequential decisions in Notre Dame football history in hiring the 29th head coach of the Fighting Irish. This installment is no longer Charlie Weis' Last Stand, but instead the first glimpse at Brian Kelly. Previous Entries Preseason Nevada Michigan Michigan State Purdue Washington [...]
Another year, another 10-win season. There's a sentence that Notre Dame fans aren't used to seeing. The Irish capped off a 10-2 regular season Saturday with a 45-24 win over Stanford that ended the way you want all ND games to end - with the biggest drama being whether the Irish give up too many [...]
At the beginning of the season, most people agreed with Bill Connelly's preview of Notre Dame's schedule. His SP+ forecasts suggested that our three toughest games were, in order of difficulty: Georgia, Michigan, and Stanford. He called for losses in the first two and 6 point win against Stanford. It sucks that he was correct [...]
When this series began, a top-25 Notre Dame under Charlie Weis walloped Nevada to begin a hopeful 2009 season. Three months later, the Irish staggered into Palo Alto after three straight losses hoping to send their doomed coach out with a victory against a growing nemesis in the West.

We're just about at the finish line for the regular season, and man, it's been a weird one. I think the epitaph of this season is going to be one of unrealized potential; we all knew this wasn't going to be a playoff team - not with what it lost on both sides of the [...]
