A Notre Dame Football Blog
Yes, a Notre Dame-free episode might sound a little crazy to publish in this space, but let's be honest with each other. We need a break from talking about terrible ND Football things and you need a break from hearing it. Shane and I took this task so seriously that we did our damnedest to not even utter the words "Notre Dame" all episode. ...

We can now confidently conclude that the Texas loss was no aberration. It was not the result of a hostile crowd, an outmatched-but-inspired Texas team or some fixable defensive errors. Notre Dame is a deeply flawed team this year; last night confirmed that. It was almost hard to watch the Irish make huge errors on special teams, continue to play defense with the density of Swiss cheese and make questionable coaching decisions in a game they absolutely had to win. There was seemingly no ...

Notre Dame and Navy will face each other for the 90th time on Nov. 5. Kickoff is 11:30 a.m. Eastern at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla., a city that is home to three major naval facilities. MIDDIES RE-ARMING While I thought triple-option football was dead and buried, the Midshipmen have continued to prove me wrong. They've won a remarkable 8 or more games for 12 of the past 13 seasons. There's several challenges to hitting that benchmark this year, including replacing Navy's greatest ...
The Easiest: Navy Yes, Navy! Before readers attempt to tar and feather me - or worse - I’m going with the Midshipman for a couple of reasons. But wait, what about the vaunted option attack and Ken Niumatalolo’s offense? Remember the years Notre Dame has struggled with it? Consider this: In the last five meetings with Navy, Notre Dame’s average margin of victory has been 22.6 points. This includes a decisive 41-24 victory last year against a Navy team that featured Heisman Trophy ...
The When/Where/What Time/Etc. 3:30 PM ET, @ Notre Dame Stadium...and guess who's back: Tom Hammond is back in the booth as NBC's play-by-play commentator for #NotreDame #Navy. No Dan Hicks for second straight home game. — Nick Ironside (@nironside247) October 6, 2015 Now, before you get all up in arms, just remember - the last time Tom Hammond called play-by-play, the Irish posted its best point total since 1996. Get used to another healthy dose of Amir Car-LYLE, CJ Pro-SISE, DeShone ...
Pope Pope Pope Pope. Is no one aware that we have a football season underway? Well, certainly not the Pope, since his idea of a football is round, you can’t touch it, and you play with it on a pitch. Yes, for Catholics (and, strangely, also for non-Catholics) a Papal visit is very exciting. It is an element of our religion, of our belief system, to recognize the supremacy of the Pope. But it’s also an important element of faith for both Catholics and many, many others, to recognize the supremacy ...
There’s been a lot of talk in the last few days about the debate among the candidates who want to be President. I was President and I didn’t have to debate anybody for the position – I just had to buy the land, build the buildings, bring in students, burn it down, start over…you know, those sort of things. When I retired, I became Superior General so I could give the President orders. I highly recommend this course of action to those seeking higher office. The only debate I had while I was ...
It was the best of seasons, it was the worst of seasons; it was a game of touchdowns, it was a game of turnovers; it was the inspiration for belief, it was the cause of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the autumn of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had a playoff berth before us, we had a second-tier bowl before us; we were in Heaven on earth, we were in a cold, wet Stadium of defeat. Since 1887, we’ve had worse seasons, but few as ...
