A Notre Dame Football Blog
"Debate This!" is a recurring feature on this site wherein two authors take opposing views on a topic relating to Notre Dame athletics. Today, we examine Corey Robinson's football future in light of the disclosure of repeated concussions over the past few football seasons. ...

Senior cornerback Devin Butler, junior running back Justin Brent and junior cornerback Nick Watkins are among Irish injured during recent football activities, with Butler's injury expected to sideline him until late September. Coach Brian Kelly revealed Monday that Butler sustained a second fracture to his left foot. After starting in place of the injured KeiVarae Russell, Butler missed the Fiesta Bowl after breaking the long bone on the outside of his foot that connects to his little ...
Daveed Diggs as Lafayette in "Hamilton."
"Hamilton" is the smash Broadway musical that has garnered a Grammy, a Pulitzer Prize and 16 Tony nominations. Since the hip-hop musical (listen here) about our the founder of our nation's financial system is currently on repeat in my house, I decided to combine my two loves and ask: Which Notre Dame football player would I cast in each "Hamilton" role? I don't know anything about each player's rapping and singing skills, so instead I'm going to assign players based on how similar their ...

Welcome to a series of posts we're calling "Five Question Marks." In this inaugural entry, BJ Konkle answers a question on the minds of many Notre Dame fans: Is there another star wide receiver waiting to emerge? Notre Dame football has recruited, developed and ultimately produced extraordinary college football wide receivers. Some of these athletes - Jeff Samardzija, Michael Floyd, Golden Tate, T.J. Jones, and most recently Will Fuller - have gone on to successful (and lucrative) ...
Last weekend was that big football game which millions ignore to watch everything else that goes on around it. A lot of defense was played and a quarterback of mature years seemingly concluded his career on a high note. One of the several occurrences that people found more interesting than the game itself was the press conference during which the defeated quarterback was laconic, surly, and dismissive before dismissing himself from the press conference. I’m told this fellow attended no fewer ...

Corey Robinson, a rising senior wide receiver, was elected Notre Dame's student body president for the 2016-17 academic year, according to the Observer, Notre Dame's school newspaper. https://twitter.com/NDSMCObserver/status/697654627148435460?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Robinson and Rebecca Blais, his running mate, received the Observer's endorsement before voting began Wednesday. The editorial board wrote: Overall, we believe the Robinson-Blais ticket provides the most innovative and exciting ...
With all this signing day and recruiting talk going on, I felt the need to inform everyone why choosing Notre Dame is the ONLY decision. Junior hurdler Andrew Helmin and junior wide receiver Corey Robinson started the charity One Shirt, One Body. The campaign came after Helmin’s roommate was planning to throw away all of his used issued gear and Helmin had the idea to bring it back to his younger brother and his friends. The joy these kids had after receiving the gear gave Andrew the idea ...

View image | gettyimages.com For the first time in a long time, I found myself downright pissed at Notre Dame at halftime. The 35-20 lead that the Irish took into the locker room might as well have been flipped. The effort was uninspiring. The offense sputtered far too often, including a terrible interception due to, of all people, Will Fuller trying to catch the ball with his body and not his hands. The defense looked lost, giving up three consecutive UMass drives for touchdowns, ...

A couple weeks back, Tex provided some evidence as to why Notre Dame having but one player picked in the 2015 NFL Draft shouldn’t be too troubling. Of course, telling ND fans not to panic is a lot like telling USC students to go to class – it’s just not going to happen. While there are certainly stronger indicators of program performance than NFL selections, it’s undeniable that analysts, fans, and even (theoretically) recruits consider a team’s track record of NFL graduations when assessing ...
Enjoy this picture because it's probably the closest we will get to Zaire running the offense.
