Coach Kevin Corrigan of the USILA #4 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team released what may be the most difficult schedule in the country Thursday on Lax Sports Network. There are no cupcakes on this slate, with the Irish playing the 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 17, and 18th ranked teams. The tilt against Michigan will be the only [...]

As I mentioned last week, I spent a portion of my holidays charting 111 Wake Forest defensive plays from 2016 games against Clemson, FSU and Temple. In the previous post we looked at the base alignment incoming Notre Dame defensive coordinator Mike Elko uses (link here). This time we are going to take a look [...]
Over the holiday season, I took on a little project. I decided I would take a look at the scheme incoming Notre Dame defensive coordinator Mike Elko employs. I charted 111 defensive plays from games against Clemson, FSU and Temple. Through this I was able to get a good sense of how Elko coordinates a [...]

Wipe away your tears of joy and continue reading the internet’s best 5-question article. 1. Who is the real MVP of this map of the United States with each state's most Googled [...]
Heading into tomorrow's Crossroads Classic match-up against Purdue, one of the prevailing pre-game questions has been one that is fairly familiar to Irish squads of the past couple of years: how can they handle a team with incredible length? It is no secret that Notre Dame's calling card for the past few years has been their devastating [...]
Great fight to the final minute. We are just getting started. pic.twitter.com/JOZQ69solW — Notre Dame MBB (@NDmbb) December 10, 2016 There are no ties in basketball, and there isn’t a column in the standings for moral victories.

This weekend, Notre Dame will host ‘The Echoes’ awards banquet. In addition to some top uncommitted prospects being in town, a large chunk of Notre Dame’s committed class will be in attendance.

Now that this football season is over for Notre Dame, the staff will be hitting the recruiting trail hard trying to close this class out strong. Hopefully, we'll have a lot of good news to share with you guys over the next [...]
Mike Brey likes to divide up his Fighting Irish basketball season into “segments.” If you listen to his comments to his team after their November 26th win over Chicago State, he asks them to finish this segment strong with a win over Iowa on Tuesday the 29th. Looking at the Irish schedule, he appears to [...]
WatchND highlights: Up early against [OPPONENT] after a fast start, Notre Dame couldn't keep it up and played a poor second half against the [OPPONENT NICKNAME], resulting in a disheartening loss that sent their record to [INSERT RECORD HERE]...

DeShone Kizer has been a bit of an enigma this year. At times, he has looked like a sure fire first round NFL draft pick, big, strong, athletic, confident, decisive, accurate. Other times he has been inconsistent, indecisive and struggled with accuracy. The ups and downs in his play are due to a variety of [...]
Game one of the service academy doubleheader is in the books and it wasn’t pretty. The Irish will look for redemption on Saturday in the Shamrock Series game against Army. Last week we went through the basics of Navy’s triple option offense. At a high level, both Navy and Army run very similar offenses. Navy [...]
Press conference updates for Brian Kelly and other coaches are great grist for team reporters. When you're winning, everything is good. Your coach who storms out of a press conference or singles out a couple of players on a fateful play or tears apart a coordinator at the end of a blowout win is a [...]
