The weather is finally starting to turn in the north and Midwest after an unseasonably warm September and early October. We should get one last gasp this weekend though, as the weather is looking pretty warm in South Bend and beyond. We are treated to four separate ranked vs. ranked matchups this week, a tough [...]
Is it just me, or was this the first game of the season that had real 2024 vibes? Notre Dame tripped over itself a few times early Saturday, and we had a good old-fashioned ref show late in the first half (I'll leave discussion of that to the comments), but things calmed down after halftime [...]
A game neither team can afford to lose if they want to repeat last season's success, but a team one must win and effectively eliminate from the mystical magical imaginary CFP race. I'm guessing neither one of these teams thought this was the game stakes when it was first scheduled and even back in August. [...]
One of these years, perhaps Notre Dame fans will get used to the Irish responding to being pushed to the brink of doom. Year after year it has occurred and year after year ND brings its A game just when fan pessimism is at its height. There was no question of the Irish's A game [...]
Two years in a row Notre Dame came into a matchup with Purdue deflated. Two years in a row the Irish have left the matchup with a W, though this one was a bit different. That probably says as much about Purdue - no longer a complete train wreck - as it does about Notre [...]
The New York Atlas, led by Notre Dame stars Liam Entenmann and Bryan Costabile, win the 2025 Premier Lacrosse League Championship! Along with Pat Kavanagh of the runner-up Denver Outlaws, our Irish alumni were spectacular in the season finale at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. The Game Early in the game it was [...]
The thought crossed my mind at some point tonight - maybe it was around the 6th time Marcel Reed threw to a wide open receiver 20 yards downfield - that in the new college football world that seems so much like the NFL, maybe the "post-Super Bowl hangover" phenomenon you hear so much about in [...]
Irish. Aggies. Elko. Freeman. Eagle. Blackledge. As the man said, sit back, relax, and strap it down because we are in for a fun one. […]
Every year I remember to do so, I like to examine the Notre Dame football schedule for signs of those always-dangerous spots on the schedule known as the Trap Games, in honor of the great Admiral Ackbar (RIP), who to this day I wish would've been the Ole Miss mascot. I rate those trap games [...]
It was one thing to lose. Beating good teams on the road is hard, and Miami is a good team. What was frustrating was seeing almost every position unit that was supposed to be awesome fail Notre Dame so consistently in Sunday night's 27-24 loss on the road. The offensive line was supposedly so good [...]
This past weekend was the first round of the Premier Lacrosse League playoffs! All of the former Irish players performed very well, and many of them will be featured in the upcoming semi-finals. Changing The Narrative While his season came to an unfortunate end this weekend, Sergio Perkovic played lights out. And truth be told, [...]
Writing about 20 underrated sports uniforms from college football, NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. One uniform at a time. The last article in this series covers my favorite underrated uniform in North American sports. I grew up in an era where the St. Louis Blues had their most boring uniforms in franchise history. From 1984-94 [...]
Writing about 20 underrated sports uniforms from college football, NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. One uniform at a time. Bad teams with good uniforms, here comes maybe the saddest/best example in North American sports. The Browns started out with white helmets when the franchise began and later switched to orange for the 1950 season. The [...]
Writing about 20 underrated sports uniforms from college football, NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. One uniform at a time. The Pirates haven't made the playoffs over the last 9 seasons and taking a peek at the current MLB standings that is going to extend to a full 10 consecutive seasons. It's tough out there, but [...]
Writing about 20 underrated sports uniforms from college football, NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. One uniform at a time. East Carolina has purple and yellow colors with a pirate mascot, I'm in. I've always been in on this program's look. A while back though, things weren't so hot. The 2009 season saw a turning point [...]
