Five Great Opening Games for ND Football

July 4, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

Notre Dame football has played 127 seasons, but for the purposes of determining the five best openers I'm going to limit my selections to the modern era. Here's the criteria I used: First, the game has to be against a quality opponent. Second, that team has to be from a major conference. Third, I cannot pick all the openers against Michigan.

10,000 Days: Fighting… For Another Championship

May 20, 2016 by Bayou Irish

Notre Dame football has not won a national championship in 10,000 days. Let that little factoid wash over you. Steph Curry, Rihanna, Adele, Haley Joel Osment, Emma Stone, and Michael Cera were all born the year the Irish last hoisted the crystal football, or whatever they hoisted back then.

However, Notre Dame seems to draw the caliber of individuals who shine under this special brand of pressure. Courtney Watson was just this sort of student-athlete.

Where Are They Now? Chris Yura

July 18, 2013 by Lisa

Growing up in the midst of the sprawling Appalachian mountains of West Virginia, one would think the only school looming on the horizon for Chris Yura would be WVU. But when his beloved Mountaineers played the Fighting Irish in the 1988 National Title game, it was another school that caught Yura’s eye -- Notre Dame. Yura was a USA Today honorable mention prep All-American, ranked 73rd among the top 100 national players by the Chicago Sun Times, and a Kennedy Award winner as the West Virginia ...
