The average cost of attendance to the University of Notre Dame reached $80,211 for the 2022-23 school year at a place with an endowment north of $12 billion. Setting aside the rather gross sky-rocketing price of college that has continued to plague generations of young people, at least we can say that things at Notre [...]
IT'S GAME WEEK. Notre Dame opens up the 2022 season this Saturday night in Columbus against the Ohio State Buckeyes. If you're reading this I'm sure you are well aware. It'll be the first visit to Ohio Stadium since 1995 and the first matchup against Ohio State since the Fiesta Bowl concluding the 2015 season. [...]
Welcome back to 18Stripes and your one stop shop for everything you need to know about the Group of 5. While Week 0 was a fairly quiet week, I still have a fair amount to say about the games and the format of the column. As I mentioned last week, the format for this column [...]
With the college football season just around the corner (Austin Peay at Western Kentucky opens up the FBS season this Saturday at Noon eastern followed by the Ireland game between Nebraska and Northwestern at 12:30 and a night cap at 10:30 eastern with Clark Lea's 'Dores visiting Hawaii) the return of Five Wide Fullbacks is [...]
For me, putting this poll together and publishing it is the unofficial start of the college football season. It's time to gear up for another year of collegiate lunacy and the 134th season of Notre Dame football as the Fighting Irish have gone 33 straight seasons without a National Championship. Can we PLEASE break that [...]
Welcome back to the Group of 5 Preview for 2022. During the offseason, I did a lot of thinking about how I wanted to improve and make the lists better and have the content still be fresh. Thinking about this, I thought about how chaotic the early season for Group of 5 teams can be. [...]
We are less than a year away from the return of a college football video game. Using EA Sports old tradition of releasing the game on the second Tuesday in July once we get to 7/9/23 for the release of College Football 24 it will have been 10 years to the day since we've had [...]
When you think back to the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) on television I'm sure ESPN, and by extension ABC, are the networks that immediately pop into your mind. During negotiations early in the 2000's ABC became "unhappy with the new structure" which saw the BCS expand to 5 games instead of 4 going into effect [...]
This isn't a list of the best players at Notre Dame. The top 25 rankings from our illustrious writing staff will be coming soon. Today's list is more of a look at Notre Dame's weaknesses and which players can step into those areas to make the Irish a lot more well-rounded and competitive. I like [...]
Notre Dame is heading into its 32nd season with NBC as its broadcast partner for home football games. The current deal between the 2 parties runs through the 2025 season after a 10-year extension (twice as long as the previous extension) was signed in April 2013. As reported by CBS Sports a month ago, Notre [...]
Man, does it feel like this season snuck up on us. I said something similar when we put out last year’s survey, so maybe it’s just me, but it feels like opening weekend closed the final distance with shocking alacrity, like Sir Lancelot storming the castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Which is [...]
Real football is almost here, and if you're checking in after offseason hibernation, you may wonder how the 2022 schedule is shaping up. Good news, I've done your homework for you! Below is a summary of each of Notre Dame's 12 opponents, with a recap of what the projection systems like about each, where the [...]
Notre Dame opened fall camp on Friday and continued its preparations for the 2022 season with another practice on Saturday. The media was in attendance for Friday's full workout and the first 5 sessions of Saturday's practice (neither in pads) to give us some insight into the early workings of Marcus Freeman's first football squad [...]
Stop me if you've heard this one: Notre Dame just landed a commitment from a blue chip linebacker. Continuing their absurd roll of the last two recruiting cycles, the Irish added four-star prospect Jaiden Ausberry to the second level fold today. The 6'2", 215 pound Bayou State prospect had talked recently about a potential fall [...]
This offseason, we’ll be breaking down the performance of each unit – passing and rushing offense and defense – with a look ahead to 2022 and what this means for the Irish. As we move to the defense, Notre Dame struggled with big rushes allowed more last fall than any year of the Clark Lea [...]
