Notre Dame added another big, athletic defensive end to its 2022 class today when Darren Agu announced for the Irish. The 6'6", 225-pound Georgia resident has had quite a fascinating journey to where he is now. Born in Ireland, Agu moved to London as a child. He played six-man football there and made a name [...]
Welcome back to the Odyssey. A reminder you can read all previous posts here. Today, we take a brief look into the seeming formality of the 2001 Big East Season. Miami entered the 2001 season, as mentioned in the intro post, ready to take no prisoners after being snubbed for being snubbed a chance at [...]
When I came up with the idea for Volume 5 of this series it was with the thinking that the Kansas City Chiefs would be winning their second straight Super Bowl. As it happens, the Chiefs did not repeat as champions. Still, Patrick Mahomes carries a 38-8 record in the NFL regular season and 44-10 [...]
Entering the 2013 football season the National Football League made a quiet change to its uniform policy requiring all teams to limit their franchise to just one helmet shell for an entire season. Uniwatch has a good FAQ surrounding the recent rule and why it was implemented. Basically, the league was advised in the face [...]
A few weeks back we kicked off the 2022 offense big board with a comprehensive run down of where everything stood. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we don't have a ton of movement, but we do have a couple of developments worth noting. The Irish staff used St. Patrick's day as a huge [...]
Notre Dame football opened up spring practice on Saturday and with no outsiders allowed at any of the workouts we're left with the scraps from coaches and players' Zoom sessions with the media. Following the first workout, head coach Brian Kelly took about 20 minutes of questions from reporters with a trio of subjects jumping [...]
If no one is there to cover spring football, did spring football actually happen? Notre Dame welcomed a total of 58,615 fans inside Notre Dame Stadium during fall football games when Indiana Covid positivity rates and deaths were at their peak through the height of the pandemic but is now deciding not to allow a [...]

The offseason is a long, dreary landscape. It's cold, February signing day isn't even exciting anymore, and spring practice is a mystery. Still, to keep the lights on at the content factories across this nation, hot takes must be created and burned to keep us warm. This year, however, the pollution from these myths and [...]

The other day we kicked off the 2022 offense big board; today we're going to jump into the defense. Going forward we'll update the board by position groups every other week; the offense will be split into QB/RB/OL and WR/TE, while the defense will be split into DL/LB and DB. We may increase the frequency [...]
Notre Dame broke the seal on the 2022 wide receiver group today when Amorion Walker announced for the Irish. While the staff had offered the 6'4", 180-pound Louisianan way back in November, things heated up with him considerably over the last month or so. Walker's frame is similar to other recent big receivers for the [...]
The 2019 rushing success rate from the running backs was not pretty. Except for the effort Tony Jones put in reaching greater heights than we thought possible, everyone below him was really struggling in a year where the talent in the backfield appeared to be in one of the worst shapes in recent seasons. Here's [...]
