Once upon a time, professional linebackers coming out of South Bend yielded zero results in a dry spell that lasted far too long at Notre Dame. Beginning with the high-profile recruitment of Manti Te'o things started to turn around for the Irish at this position and now another veteran exiting campus is looking for some [...]
Buckle up because we have a lot of players to get through today. While the Irish saw instant impact freshman All-American play from safety Kyle Hamilton and a steady, solid presence from defensive tackle Jacob Lacey, the rest of the large defensive class took a redshirt. Let's not waste time with any further introductions. 247 [...]
Notre Dame has a wide selection of NFL prospects this year from veteran 5th year players, a surprise or two who developed tremendously in their final season, plus an early entry at the traditional strong tight end position for the Irish. Up first in our NFL scouting reports is a darting slot receiver from Ohio. [...]
The Super Bowl halftime show is often highly praised or panned, we rarely seem to get mediocre results in America's most famous musical show of the year. I was recently looking back through the past performers and realized I'm uniquely positioned to comment on the history of these events due to my age. For the [...]
2019 was an amazing year for Notre Dame true freshmen in one respect, not a single player on offense lost a year of eligibility. True, it was a very small class on that side of the ball to begin with but it's an interesting footnote to the early part of these players' careers. The best [...]

Friday night news broke that is never good news. Incoming freshman 2020 corner prospect Landen Bartleson was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, and receiving stolen property valued at $10,000 or more after breaking into a store to steal guns. After an initial comment about waiting to gather facts, less than 24 [...]
I have always had an awareness of the College Hall of Fame since I was a child. I even went to the version that was in South Bend was I was seven years old and on my first visit to Notre Dame. It was perfectly fine. I had never put much more thought into it [...]
Are you ready for some football? Well, you'll have to wait a little while longer for the college football variety. That doesn't mean we can't look ahead to the 2020 national schedule and some of the top non-league games lurking in the distance. Full disclosure, there might be a couple games listed that are reaches [...]
YouTube was created a few months after Charlie Weis was hired at Notre Dame and the first video uploaded to the site came in late April 2005. So, it's been around a while but in the grand scheme really not that long. Every once and a while I'll take a look at Notre Dame football [...]
