A Notre Dame Football Blog
As we count down to the season opening game in Austin, where the University of Notre Dame will match up against the University of Texas, lets look at some of the favorite football traditions of each school. Lets start with Our Lady's University. Most Notre Dame fans are familiar with the primary Notre Dame football traditions: the football player march to the stadium, tapping the "Play Like A Champion Today" sign, the tunnel entrance where the players take the field, the golden helmets, the ...

In an article last month, I suggested the Irish were a playoff team. I generally focused on three areas: the schedule, the offense, and the “breaks” finally breaking Notre Dame’s way in a given year. However, I also cautioned that nothing great ever happens in June and July…see Alize Jones. ...
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 ...

It appears that the University of Texas wants to maximize television viewers on college football's opening weekend on Labor Day...and remain undefeated for another 24 hours. ...
While the Roundup has already made it's way to the iTunes and Podbean feeds this morning, I wanted to make sure everyone could get their morning dose of Notre Dame football with Moons' savage look at the Clemson Tigers. However, now it is time to fully expose everyone to my usual brand of college football silliness which includes a good 'ol basketball scandal over at SMU because of course. Actual football topics include some thoughts on week 4, including the realization that I have no idea ...
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 ...

As the near perfection of Saturday's home opener against Texas continued to dance in the heads of Notre Dame fans everywhere, the other shoe seemed like it had to drop just around the corner. That shoe came in the form of Tarean Folston's injury news. The junior running back has officially been ruled out due to a torn right ACL for the rest of the season following his Sunday MRI. The injury occurred during Notre Dame's second offensive possession and the 2014 leading rusher never returned to ...

Before following the leads sparking and arcing from last night's impressive win over Texas, it is important to take a breath and appreciate Notre Dame's win as just that. Home and season openers have not always been smooth operations under Coach Brian Kelly. Yesterday, though, the Irish were mostly spectacular. The story was quarterback Malik Zaire, who had his way with the Longhorn defense and carried himself with a swagger that never seemed ready to implode in a cascade of ...
Via, and I can't believe I'm saying this, Lisa Ann's Instagram account, @thereallisaannxxx
When TMZ decides to email HLS directly about a story they broke, we should know that something crazy will soon motor down the highway for a head-on collision of weird. This week's edition has freshman WR Justin Brent on a date with 42 year-old porn star, Lisa Ann. Honestly, I cared very little for the "shocking" news. I wasn't even completely convinced of the claims of a date as the information TMZ had to prove the claim just came from a "we're told that" and nothing more. So, it could've ...
(Apologies for the delay. Typically I try to have this out Sunday, but a needed ND re-watch and the Cowboys actually doing good football things delayed this.) Fumbles Everett Golson, 1st Quarter Everett Golson, 3rd Quarter Everett's first fumble to start the game, while terrible and costly, could be mostly forgiven. You could certainly argue that Golson should have better pocket presence and not step directly into a death trap. Still, that was not nearly as bad as Golson coughing the ball ...
