A Notre Dame Football Blog
Good news, everyone! Things are improving with Notre Dame! While the offense still has some things to work through, particularly Jack Coan having some odd accuracy issues, there are signs of an explosive offensive ready to break out. The offensive line, despite considering you, yes you, for LT, performed admirably. Marcus Freeman and the defense continued their path to improvement, featuring an actual smart us of the three lineman dollar formation that gave Purdue fits. Better yet, the ...
What, your copy of NCAA '14 looks different?
You know, I was really proud of myself on this one. I thought I had everything figured out. Didn't mess up hitting buttons or anything this time around. And then the game audio didn't record right. And then the backup didn't record right. So y'all get the back up of the back up which has the entire audio. Thankfully, it's functional enough, and servers as a perfect metaphor for Notre Dame Football in 2021. Oh, and the sim definitely has tapped into that reality as well. I dare you to ...

Unless you are one of those folks that keeps tabs on the Fulmer Cup, early July isn't exactly the time in which you expect college football news to break. Yet, here we are in the wake of Notre Dame's announcement that the Arkansas Razorbacks have been added the 2020 and 2025 schedules. Now, I understand that, even in this barren desert of Irish football news, you may find it hard to get excited for games that are three and eight years away. To be fair, I'm right there with you; however, ...
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. ...

Last week, we gave you the Top Five Games of the Brian Kelly Years. Last night, you watched The Oscars. This morning, for your consideration and viewing pleasure, we present the Top Fifteen Plays of the Brian Kelly Years. @SupermanTDJesus helped with this project. I am grateful for his technical abilities and efficiency. Let's face it, though. There have been a lot of plays in five seasons of football. And, if we're being honest, a lot of booze chased away the memory of the bad ones. ...
Bye weeks are a time for reflection and perspective on a season. For me, this usually means that I have time to look back on Notre Dame football, see how far the Irish have come, and see how far they still have to go. This year has been a bit different. Just go take a look at this week's IBG, the questions and answers are full of more "wait and see" themes than usual. Perhaps some of that is due to the bye being so early. Perhaps that is because there's been only one opponent and game we've ...
Molly Moran and I are back with another episode of HLS TV! In this episode, we discuss Notre Dame surviving against Purdue in a crazy week of college football. Molly gives us an insight into what the atmosphere was like in the game and if the mood match ours as we were losing our minds on Twitter. And we cover the good, the bad, the frustrating, and wonder just how upset we should be about the Irish's performance in this year's Shamrock Series. You can check out this week's episode ...
Good morning, Irish fans! It's that time of the week once again for us to try to gaze into the future and predict Notre Dame and Purdue. To enter this week, head on over to the entry form. But first, let's see how you did last week. Let's start with the quotes because I'm giving out some bonus points this week: Is Devin Gardner like an 8th year senior? - Philly Kelly I wanted to frame the quote as soon as I saw it last week. Point! When I think of Michigan, I think of Morrie in ...
Well, Purdue, it's been fun. We seem to be making a habit of ending rivalry games this season, but hey, we'll see each other again in 2020 unless Delany decides to go Darth Vader, alter the deal further, and make you play twelve conference games. Actually, I'm sorry I said that. I'm giving him ideas... Anyways, I know this rivalry has been rather one-sided recently. Games have ranged from "well, yeah we won, it's Purdue" to "that was far too close for playing Purdue" to "HOW IN THE BLUE ...
After Notre Dame simply dominated Michigan, I assumed just about everyone in the IBG would ask about that game because seriously, Purdue is next and holy zzzzzzzzzz. However, much like Michigan still failing to score, I have been surprised yet again as the majority of the group actually asked questions about the Shamrock Series opponent. I suppose that makes sense in some way. While I'm sure all of us will rewatch Michigan over and over again with glee, the 2014 season still has 10 more games ...
