It was announced just under 5 months ago that Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick would be retiring at the end of the 2023-24 academic school year and on Friday night October 13th the university announced that president Rev. John Jenkins, C.S.C. would also be retiring at the same time. Notre Dame also announced that [...]
After week 7 we have a new no. 1 in the 18S poll thanks to Washington's come-from-behind victory over Oregon. Huskies are superior to Bulldogs in every way so this is okay. Outside of that, the top 15 stayed relatively stable except for USC tumbling quite a bit. You hate to see it. Here's the [...]
It was dark there for a while but Notre Dame heads into a much-needed bye week of rest after a passionate 48-20 victory over rival USC on Saturday night. Optimism and happiness are back! While we spent all week worrying about the Irish offense and the future of the program we saw Al Golden & [...]
It's been seven straight weeks of football and three consecutive games against ranked, undefeated foes but the show must go on. The unstoppable march of history waits for no one, and as much as Notre Dame would probably love an off-week that's just not an option. Following a demoralizing loss to Louisville, the Irish will [...]
Notre Dame's continued offensive struggles created a tight game for most of the visit to Louisville, but as the defense wore down and the Irish offense failed to created much efficiency or explosiveness the Cardinals pulled away late in the second half. The ND offense had an extremely poor performance - just 4.2 yards per [...]
While the weekend was not great for the Irish, we did see some shakeup in the Mid Major conferences worth taking a look into. Let's dive into it.

Notre Dame had a chance on Saturday to keep hope alive for a strong season, perhaps even an outside shot at the playoffs with USC coming to town next weekend, but had those plans blown to smithereens by a much more hungrier and well prepared Louisville team inside Papa John's Stadium. What a terrible and [...]
I'm going to be honest: I expected to write something like this next week. Next week is ND's 8th straight game, on midterms week, against USC. I expected to get crushed. (I still do.) And then I thought I'd be writing about ND being at a crossroads under Marcus Freeman. Guess it arrived a week [...]
So we go again for another night game in ACC land. For the 4th time in history (and 4th meeting in a decade) Notre Dame will face Louisville, a team going through a fresh new start and currently unbeaten. The line from Vegas is awfully similar to last week's game against Duke but there's reason [...]
We are through Week 5 of the college football season and there still aren't enough upsets at the top of the sport. Perhaps we need more patience. We are happy to write that Duke didn't get to be a part of the few upsets that did happen this past weekend. Beyond a small shuffling at [...]
While this weekend was momentous in the world of Notre Dame Football, the Mid Major world decided to keep things a little low key in our last week without “weekday” football. That’s right starting this Wednesday, we will have college football on Wednesdays and Tuesdays for the month of October. Before we look ahead, let’s [...]
Despite the efforts of many, Notre Dame's regular season winning streak against ACC teams continued late on Saturday night as the Irish came from behind to drop a physical Duke team 21-14 in Durham. It certainly wasn't pretty but it's an important victory with a pair of big night games still to come on the [...]
4th and 16. The 2023 season, not to mention a potential firestorm week the likes of which Marcus Freeman has never seen, hung in the balance Saturday night at Duke. And Sam Hartman worked his magic. You have to believe Hartman took it personally when he came up short, literally (in the first quarter) and [...]
Well, it's time to see how well this 2023 Notre Dame team responds to adversity. A week after a soul-crushing loss to Ohio State at the last second, the program packs up for North Carolina and heads to Duke for a primetime night game with ESPN College GameDay on campus. This isn't just any old [...]
I wasn't going to publish this for another week or two but after Saturday night, well, let's get it out there now. Every year late August rolls around and that childlike excitement of college football returning puts me in a great mood. Then the games begin and I'm reminded, "Oh yeah, watching college football on [...]
