It was a dark week for Notre Dame who opens the season 0-2 and quickly tumbles out of the 18 Stripes Top 20. Spoiler alert! The great thing about college football is watching the misery of other teams as well, though. There's always plenty of that to go around. Heck, we already have two power [...]
The chips were on the table for Notre Dame to finish off a close and frustrating comeback win to reset their season. It wouldn't have been pretty but a victory would've been big in keeping the playoff hopes alive for the Irish. Now, after Texas A&M executes a game-winning touchdown drive the panic button is [...]
The thought crossed my mind at some point tonight - maybe it was around the 6th time Marcel Reed threw to a wide open receiver 20 yards downfield - that in the new college football world that seems so much like the NFL, maybe the "post-Super Bowl hangover" phenomenon you hear so much about in [...]
Irish. Aggies. Elko. Freeman. Eagle. Blackledge. As the man said, sit back, relax, and strap it down because we are in for a fun one. […]
After a slow week 2 at the top of the rankings the season is moving along with what should be some better matchups this weekend. Showcased by a big ranked vs. ranked matchup in the SEC we also get to see the early 2025 season darlings USF travel to Miami and a few other games [...]
A season opening loss directly into a bye week--is it torture for Notre Dame fans or an opportunity to regroup and reset the season for the next 11+games? We'll try our best to keep a level head. Hopefully everyone spent the weekend grilling cheeseburgers and laughing at other teams who lost. In the first regular [...]
Every year I remember to do so, I like to examine the Notre Dame football schedule for signs of those always-dangerous spots on the schedule known as the Trap Games, in honor of the great Admiral Ackbar (RIP), who to this day I wish would've been the Ole Miss mascot. I rate those trap games [...]
In the end, Week 2 was a little more fun than expected with chaos outside of the top of the rankings. The top teams nary had a struggle with our top 8 teams in action winning by a combined 384-29. That was almost as easy as Notre Dame's bye week. Elsewhere, across the country fans [...]
I haven't done the research but it feels like in recent years Week 3 and especially Week 2 are really dreadful for college football entertainment as some programs continue to pull back from out of conference matchups. This weekend is really only for the true college fans, I wouldn't blame someone for being more in [...]
My pre-season poll was so bad that the top 3 teams, and 4 out of the top 5, all lost in week 1. Phew! And, it could've been worse but the no. 4 team played the no. 1 team. How could these teams do this to me? Anyway, a big reshuffle is in order at [...]
The nightmares continue playing Miami on the road. Notre Dame opened up the 2025 season with high hopes as the road favorite but now fly back to South Bend after suffering a close but very frustrating loss to the Hurricanes. Some bright spots were able to shine through and credit to the team for fighting [...]
It was one thing to lose. Beating good teams on the road is hard, and Miami is a good team. What was frustrating was seeing almost every position unit that was supposed to be awesome fail Notre Dame so consistently in Sunday night's 27-24 loss on the road. The offensive line was supposedly so good [...]
The month of August ends on Sunday with the Fighting Irish closing out the first weekend* of the college football season in primetime on ABC against the Miami Hurricanes. Only 192 days ago, Notre Dame lost the National Championship Game to Ohio State and now we get to start a new campaign in Marcus Freeman's [...]
This past weekend was the first round of the Premier Lacrosse League playoffs! All of the former Irish players performed very well, and many of them will be featured in the upcoming semi-finals. Changing The Narrative While his season came to an unfortunate end this weekend, Sergio Perkovic played lights out. And truth be told, [...]
