A Notre Dame Football Blog
Who To Watch USC at Stanford (Sat 3:30pm ET, ABC) Week 2 doesn't have much to offer, and your Saturday primetime is already booked with Notre Dame vs. Michigan, so I'll recommend a matchup of two future ND opponents. Out west on The Farm, see Steve Sarkisian in his first true road test against David Shaw's Cardinal. ...

Ever the politician, a plaid-suited Brian Kelly sidestepped a question ripe for opposing locker room material. Sure, the end of the Michigan series has opened the door for some very exciting future games for Notre Dame football, but he wasn't about to proclaim it a "good thing" and provide Michigan with additional motivation. Instead, Kelly called future games with Texas and Georgia the "silver lining" of no longer having Michigan on the schedule. Afterward, he looked to the eager press ...
This is the final foreseeable match up between Notre Dame and Michigan on the football field and we've been blessed with a night game. What does that mean? All day tailgating of course. We all know that the only true key to a good tailgate party in South Bend is a nice, big bucket of Martin's fried chicken and a playlist including the Notre Dame Marching Band's greatest hits, but what are you willing to do to make your Saturday party great? Since we all have a little extra time on our ...
During the offseason, we tried to do a Google+ Hangout Live and it failed rather miserably at first. Still though, we had fun and wanted to figure out a way to incorporate some kind of show back into the HLS lineup this season. The end result of the brainstorming has been dubbed HLS TV. The lovely Molly Moran hosts with yours truly serving as co-pilot. Eventually, this post-game endeavor will air much closer to the conclusion of the game (we hope to eventually record the same day as the game ...
The offseason is behind us. We have passed through the barren wilderness wasteland, and before us stretches the verdant Field Turf plain of lush college football goodness. Each week in this space, I'll keep tabs on 2014 Notre Dame opponents, their strength-of-schedule, and who they're playing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, or who just can't get enough college football, I'll take my best guess as to what you should watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SyTCWjjarw A song of wins and losses shall resume its tune next week. The weekly battles shall resume as shall the feasts, drinking, joy, and pain. Brace yourselves, football is coming. Lord Brian Kelly is looking to lead his once proud house back to its former glory. The house of DuLac was once an undisputed king of the north and their influence extended across the realm. The game has changed and Lord Kelly is trying to change with it in the face of a ...

Outlined against a clear-blue August sky, the Lone Horseman rode again. In dramatic lore he is known as the Purple-Faced Monster. This is only an alias. His real name is Brian Kelly. He trotted in front of his South Bend squad before which another practice would be held in the friendly confines of the Culver Academies as a handful of Fighting Irish Digital Media employees peered through their camera lenses and over their Twitter devices at the bewildering sight prancing on the synthetic field ...

Some of the folks at Reddit, specifically those of the subreddit /r/cfb, had a little bit of offseason fun. They did a very unscientific poll asking their fellow redditors where they were from and which college football team they hated the most. The poll had some issues with people vote spamming and the whole thing really being another case of the internet being the internet. But because of internet reasons that didn't take another redditor from making the following map from the ...
I am hailed as the Founder of Notre Dame; also the first Postmaster (go figure). These are great honorifics of which I am proud. But the title closest to my heart has always been Father. I consider all of you to be my loyal sons – and thanks to Ted’s innovations, loyal daughters. Indeed, you are all my children. I’m told there was a beautiful opera by that title, though I don’t recall it in Verdi’s or Wagner’s repertoire. However, though I am called Father, I have never had children of ...
The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday night, 41-30 — and then celebrated by playing some polka. Here, the Irish's Chris Brown is tackled by Michigan's Delonte Hollowell after making a catch. (Photo:vGregory Shamus/Getty Images)
The last time Brady Hoke spoke about Notre Dame, he was pandering to Michigan alumni by calling the Irish "chicken" for cancelling the series with Michigan. At today's B1G media days, Hoke has transitioned from attempts at humor to just being flat-out factually wrong: https://twitter.com/Matt_Fortuna/status/493784493149278208 My reaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1bbxzoG5Ek First off, let's place the whole "is Michigan really a rival?" debate to the side for a minute. Simply ...
