Tommy Rees: Turnover Tommy or Triumphant Tommy?

July 11, 2013 by Lisa

(A guest post from former Notre Dame great, Oscar McBride.) Welp Notre Dame fans, here we are again staring down the barrel of yet another football season swirling with questions and naysayers about the Fighting Irish. Here are some of the immediate questions that come to mind along with some I’ve heard myself: What will the Irish do without Te’o, Eifert & Lewis-Moore? Will Golson return to Notre Dame? Can Rees be a suitable “stand-in” for Golson? Is Brian Kelly off to the ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Starting Now

June 7, 2013 by Father Sorin

And after 12 wins, Brian Kelly looked toward to his fourth season and realized, “I need a quarterback.” So Kelly named a starter. ...

Friday Roundup: The “Learning When To Speak” Edition

May 31, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Ohio State president, Gordon Gee, has firmly inserted his foot in this mouth yet again. I may not be one of those "damn Catholics" that he referred to and I don't particularly put much stock into his opinions about Notre Dame either. I'm not offended by his comments -- my actual reaction is probably the furthest from. What does boggle my mind though is how a university president can't seem to figure out when to keep his mouth shut. ...

Everett Golson No Longer Enrolled at Notre Dame

May 26, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

So much for thinking I had an extended weekend to work on HLS. Last night, WNDU confirmed circulating rumors that Everett Golson was no longer enrolled at Notre Dame. Due to privacy laws, the University is not allowed to state any specifics on the reason for this or how severally Golson will be punished. However, at this time, we do know a little bit more than ND is allowed to release. ...

Irish Blogger Gathering: Spring Fling with NDNation

April 24, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Yes, you read the title correctly: The Subway Domer has pulled a recruiting coup for the IBG and NDNation has joined the fold. For the post Blue/Gold Game edition, we got the first crack at asking questions of Mike Coffey, aka El Kabong, of NDNation. He, in turn, has asked his questions three of Kieth Arnold of Inside the Irish who will eventually have Subway's answers up. And you can find my answers over at The Subway Domer this week. Eventually, we will have the Strong and True blog back in ...

Five Big Things I’ll Be Watching In The Blue-Gold Game

April 17, 2013 by Grantland-X

Hope springs eternal at Notre Dame -- and after the wonderful rebirth of Notre Dame football in 2012, that never rings more true than this year. The 84th annual Blue-Gold game is upon us this weekend, and there's quite a few things that I'll have my eyes on -- here's a few of them (in no real order): 5. Players returning from injury - Lo Wood. Alex Welch. Austin Collinsworth. Amir Carlisle. Chase Hounshell. These are just a few of the big-name injuries from last year, all guys that were ...

Tabling the Issue: How Does Everett Golson Do?

March 13, 2013 by Bayou Irish

One of the things I wanted to do this off season is see where Everett Golson fits in among his peers, and, thanks to the statistics nerds at www.und.com, I was able to pull all the data I needed (except for 1998) (WTH?) from the source, as it were. So, with a data-set of 21 years, I looked at each QB's Total Passing Yards (TPY), Attempts (Atts), Completions (Comps), Completion Percentage (%), Touchdowns (TD's) and Interceptions (INT's). To qualify, a quarterback had to start four games in a ...

2014 Needs & Wants: Offense

March 11, 2013 by RiverParkSeer

Aah, the world of college football recruiting. A never ending process. The 2013 class is signed and looks primed to fill the gaps and make an instant impact. We also already have four commitments to the 2014 class: Greer Martini, Jay Hayes, Justin Brent, and Jimmy Byrne. Let's take a look at each offensive position group to try to gauge what we need and who our top targets currently are. Given our last few recruiting classes were near full, (barring transfers or early departure for the pros) ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Mob Rules

February 8, 2013 by Father Sorin

Let me extend a hearty welcome to the Irish Mob! Admittedly, I am not in the habit of welcoming mobs, since I usually associate the word with the Paris Mob and that brings to mind the Reign of Terror. Not that I have any problem with our opponents suffering a four-year-long reign of terror as a result of our Irish Mob; but perhaps we could have chosen a more ethnically appropriate epithet for these lads – say, the Hooligan Crew. ...

Hurt

January 9, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Well, that game was an absolute nightmare. Believe me, I know there is plenty that I should be happy about. Even non-ND folks have pointed this out and rightfully so. This team is ahead of schedule, exceeded our wildest expectations, and has a solid foundation that will keep us a contender for years to come. There will be plenty of time to examine what this team achieved in 2012. We will have detailed analysis of where we fell short against Alabama and how to improve. This isn't one of ...
