A Notre Dame Football Blog
Initially, Shane and I planned to do our usual recap show, but, like the rest of 2020, shit happens. It made more sense to cancel a few hours before the our usual Sunday recording and for me to dust of my writing skills instead. So strap yourselves in for an extremely long post to get all the thoughts in my head that would've been shared on the podcast, out and available for internet consumption. ...
Here is a playlist of every Notre Dame football game available on YouTube, as of today. There's about 500 games here, dating all the way back to 1913. ...
To bowl or not to bowl, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The injuries and defeats of a season lost, Or to take the field against a sea of troubles And by playing end them. To quit—to rest, No more; and by a rest to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That losses are heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To quit, to rest; To rest, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub: For in that offseason what dreams may come, When ...

We are one silly offensive pass interference away from "hosting" a first round playoff matchup. Now that we're all done throwing our remotes, replacing our flat screens, and replenishing our liquor cabinets, it's time to look at the playoff picture. The whole picture. We don't know what exactly the 12-person ...
This past week has seen quite a bit of change for Notre Dame.

The attention given to this little announcement, and the debates/angst/celebration that have followed, pale in comparison to what I would consider far bigger announcements made by ND this week. On the football side, a "Football Ambassador" group has been announced. This paid ...
You know, we give Michigan a lot of hell via internet print, and rightly so. However, there are days in which things happen that allow us to sit back and laugh at Michigan without really having to do anything. Today is one of those days. Oh, and we get to take a shot at Urban Meyer and Texas too! So this happened last night on Jeopardy!: http://youtu.be/mZDHh2z_My4 Let's break down this 1:20 of glory that was the "College Football Coaches" category. Let's take the category for $200, ...
Michigan State will enter Notre Dame as the #1 defense in the nation. Sure, their schedule has been an absolute cakewalk thus far (Western Michigan, South Florida, and Youngstown State), but, despite that, holding opponents to only 177 yards/game is impressive no matter who you are playing. But then you look at the other side of the coin and you realize that Sparty's offense is objectively one of the worst things to ever grace a football field. Ignoring Youngstown State (which you should ...
