"You ain't trying to get better, man." More than any other episode of the now lost Chocolate News videos--once uploaded to the Notre Dame Athletics YouTube page--this quote has always stuck with me. Louis Nix, the larger than life personality who was on campus from 2010-13, dubbed himself 'Irish Chocolate' and provided fans from all [...]
Hopefully you enjoyed our overview of the 2021 Notre Dame recruiting class with recruit grades and some thoughts on the class. We started a deeper dive on each position group with the offensive backfield (and shoehorned the kicker into it), then we moved on to the guys whose main job is to catch the damn [...]
Welcome back to the Odyssey. Last time, we talked about what set up this crazy season and the most important game of the 2001 season that doesn’t seem to be talked about. Today, much like the future post outlining the Big Ten, we will take a big picture look at the ACC race throughout the [...]
Notre Dame added a key offensive piece to its 2022 class yesterday when four-star running back Jadarian "JD" Price announced for the Irish. The 5'11", 180-pound Texan picked up his Notre Dame offer a little over three weeks ago and was set to visit independently this week before the Lone Star State ice storm wrecked [...]

In the big picture, the NFL Draft is right around the corner. Soon, we'll be seeing players participating in Pro Days as the mock draft business reaches a feverish pitch. Today, we're going to evaluate the bottom of Notre Dame's pro prospects. Essentially, the players predicted to be 6th or 7th round picks but more [...]
Hopefully you enjoyed our overview of the 2021 Notre Dame recruiting class with recruit grades and some thoughts on the class. Over the next several days we'll go into a deeper dive on each position group, starting today with the offensive backfield. Plus the kicker, because he has to go somewhere. As a reminder, here's our [...]
The 2022 Notre Dame class picked up its fourth linemen recently when weakside defensive end Aiden Gobaira announced for the Irish. The 6'6", 235-pound Virginian joined recent commit Tyson Ford in the 2022 defensive line group. Ford is more acclaimed at the moment, but there are some similarities between them - both are long, quick, [...]
The End of a Strange Journey The prospects of the 2021 class undoubtedly went through the strangest recruiting experience in the post-World War II era of college football. They couldn't take real visits, couldn't view practices, couldn't go to games, couldn't have coaches visit them. When they committed, it was often to a school they [...]
It is time. As of this writing we are 209 days away from Notre Dame's season opener at Florida State. Today, I will take a stroll through Notre Dame's roster and cover a plethora of topics about the Irish depth chart as we head into Brian Kelly's 12th season and first with new defensive coordinator [...]
Quick, what season do you think of when you think of reasons the BCS didn’t work? You probably answered one of, 2003, 2004, or 2011. Those seasons seemed to break the system placed by the BCS due to one key reason; the system picked the wrong teams. 2003 USC, 2004 Auburn, 2011 Oklahoma State all [...]
Today, we are going to look at the Notre Dame opponent quarterbacks in the back half of the 2021 schedule. If you missed it, here's a link to part one from last week: Part 1: Games 1-6 The Irish are expected to be facing a tough batch of quarterback to begin 2021 but will the [...]
It will be a new era at quarterback for Notre Dame in 2021 as Ian Book moves on and a fresh starter needs to be broken in soon. With the Irish facing question marks at the all-important position we wanted to take some time and look at the upcoming opponents this fall and see where [...]
Although the 2020 college football season ended with a dominant Alabama team winning a title and that's a story we've seen numerous times in recent years there's no doubt that this past year will go down as one of the strangest of our lifetimes. It was so weird at times that many of the advanced [...]
