Notre Dame demolished Boston College on a snowy senior day, notching a shutout in the final home game for the second straight year. My goal with every recap is to use advanced stats to shine some light on some less obvious results from each game that maybe fans didn't pick up watching. This is one of [...]
Notre Dame added a critical piece to its 2023 class today when four-star quarterback Kenny Minchey flipped from Pitt to the Irish. The 6'2", 207-pound Tennessean was one of the first targets offensive coordinator Tommy Rees put on the radar when Notre Dame moved on from the talented but, uh, complicated Dante Moore in June. [...]

Boston College came to South Bend on Saturday looking to play spoiler on Senior Day. The Eagles would go home to Chestnut Hill suffering one of their worst losses in school history. Notre Dame absolutely pounded and humiliated BC to move to 8-3 on the season with 5 straight wins before the season finale at [...]
At one point during Saturday's 44-0 obliteration of Boston College, the NBC broadcast crew mentioned that Marcus Freeman grew almost angry when discussing ND's tendency to play down to its worst opponents. It seemed pretty clear with this performance, combined with the first half of Navy before everything went to hell, that the Irish are [...]
At long last, Senior Day. A bit of shine has come off this matchup considering BC's unresolved QB situation and all-around horrid season. Nonetheless, the Eagles are coming off a shocking upset win over #16 NC State and a team that looked dead and buried three weeks ago has a faint pulse. Can Marcus Freeman [...]
Three games in, it has been a mixed bag for a Notre Dame men’s basketball team that is facing its highest pre-season expectations since the Farrell/Colson era. On the plus side, the team has shown flashes of what could be a truly elite offense, with a rotation that goes 7 deep with legitimate weapons. On [...]
Notre Dame checked off almost every item on the Navy wish list in the first half. Use this opportunity for Drew Pyne and the passing game to get in rhythm? How about five touchdowns and 14.6 yards per dropback in the first 30 minutes! Converting passing downs? The Irish went 7 of 10, with wide [...]

The [...]

The 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup kicks off this weekend after an estimated 3.57 billion people watched the 2018 tournament, including 1.12 billion people watching France winning over Croatia in the championship final.

We're just a week away from the kickoff of the largest sporting event on the planet. Was the human cost and disruption to the wider soccer calendar worth it just to improve the image of a small petrostate? Probably not! Will it still be fun to watch? Definitely so! After missing out in 2018, [...]
