A Notre Dame Football Blog
Yesterday, Notre Dame’s Fall camp had their “opening ceremonies” of sorts with Brian Kelly’s press conference kicking off the festivities. The press conference covered a wide range of topics.

Michael Deeb is being forced to “retire” from football do to nerve issues in his elbow. Mike Heuerman also received a medical ...
The investigation into academic improprieties of five Notre Dame players (as well as several other non-athletes) has been nothing short of a slow, frustrating process.

Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly held his first press conference of the spring practice season today. In it, he addressed the lessons learned from the Alabama game, Gunner Kiel's status (transferring but still in school to finish out the semester) and where the team is going.

After the extraordinary drama of the thrilling win over Pitt had faded a little bit, Brian Kelly took to the podium as part of his weekly routine. Perhaps, by now, you've watched it, or read about it, but one exchange between the Coach and a, perhaps nervous, perhaps student, reporter caught my attention. At 12:05 in the video below, watch Coach Kelly deal with a perceived challenge to one of his players: http://youtu.be/b1TpQtJlm-k Louis Nix has got a lot in the Bank of Trust with ...
