The Blue-Gold Game coming right during the NFL Draft was yet another example of how the college football calendar continues to frustrate with its key moments squished together. With the spring game in the rearview mirror, here's a review of the the NFL selection process from a week and a half ago. Notre Dame Draft [...]

The scoreboard read 41-40 on Saturday afternoon as the Blue team defeated the Gold team in the latest edition of the Notre Dame spring game. The complicated scoring system and lack of real tackling early on made the game difficult to watch at times, but that's par for the course with most spring games. Great [...]

For the 95th time in history the Notre Dame spring game is here. On Saturday afternoon from inside Notre Dame Stadium the Blue-Gold Game kicks off as Marcus Freeman enters a pivotal 5th season with the Irish. The weather looks like it'll cooperate with the forecast giving us temperatures in the low-to-mid 60's with some [...]

The 91st edition of the NFL Draft begins this week from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The festivities will be taking place on the North Shore in downtown Pittsburgh next to the stadium no longer called Heinz Field. They'll also be using space across the river(s) at Point State Park, as well. This is the first time since [...]

I don't know exactly when this tradition began. At some point in recent years, Notre Dame has held an intra-squad scrimmage near the end of spring practice that has been branded as The Jersey Scrimmage. As the media has been shut out from most of spring practices in recent years--and the Blue-Gold Game simultaneous becomes [...]

No alternate or one-off uniforms here. This is a series discussing the worst standard uniform changes in modern college football. The Lead Up Paul Johnson was hired at Georgia Tech in 2008 and in his first season he moved the program away from a shiny Vegas gold to a deeper and darker mustard gold throughout [...]

Notre Dame has been moving quickly through spring practice. The much anticipated Jersey Scrimmage™ takes place this Saturday and with the media in attendance it's basically overtaken the Blue-Gold Game for depth and insight into the football program. The spring game is coming next weekend so we're under 2 weeks remaining until these set of [...]

Notre Dame opened up their 2026 spring practice workouts this past Friday on campus. Marcus Freeman has mentioned the delicate balance of preparing a team to play well straight out of the gate (especially coming off the beginning of 2025) but also not going too hard in the off-season. If there's a side in which [...]

Notre Dame is set to take open up practice this Friday, March 20th to kick off the next edition of Irish spring football. With no post-season, it'll be 111 days since the team finished up the 2025 campaign at Stanford. There should be plenty of eyes watching and ears listening to Notre Dame during this [...]

Heading into the 2025 season defensive end was looking awfully enticing for Notre Dame. Big things were expected and the unit had a really nice mix of veterans and a couple young players who looked ready to blossom even further. Dare we say this was a disappointing year? Let's dig into things. Coming Back Notre [...]

When was the last really good-to-great season from Notre Dame receivers? Notre Dame went into 2025 with 5 straight seasons without a 1,000-yard receiver and I don't think many Irish fans would've bet that milestone would be surpassed by anyone during the pre-season. Spoiler alert, it did not. But, did Notre Dame rely on its [...]

The cornerback room had quite the season in 2025 full of some incredibly high moments and frustrating stretches that we wish could've been avoided. In some ways, it was a season of chaos led by a veteran who played the most snaps. In other ways, it was yet another strong performance from the cornerback position [...]

Former Notre Dame head football coach Lou Holtz passed away on March 4th just under 2 months after his 89th birthday. To say Holtz was a monumental figure in Notre Dame history would be an understatement. To date, the last Irish coach to win a National Championship and as such the last to have a [...]

Heading into the 2025 season we talked about worries with the defensive tackle position on defense and on offense it was the tight end position that looked on really shaky ground. The interior defensive line was able to work things out and even flourish a little bit, although this past fall was a little more [...]
