Notre Dame Coaching Upheaval

The news broke suddenly and spread very quickly. Notre Dame will have a coaching staff change in 2015. Perhaps it should have been expected that the staff would get jumbled up a bit, but having it happen right before National Signing Day makes it a little more panicky for everyone involved. Some may say that […]

A Good Week For The Irish

How’s that for some Sunday night basketball? If you opted to watch the Pro Bowl, or anything else for that matter, you missed a thriller. Oh and by the way, there was another game this week, one that I’ve only now had the opportunity to watch and analyze. Before I get in to the gutsy, […]

McKinney Flips Commitment To North Carolina

Texas safety Prentice McKinney finally did what the recruiting gurus have been hinting at for weeks. McKinney decided to not sign with Notre Dame on National Signing Day. Instead, McKinney has given a verbal commitment to North Carolina and plans on signing with the Tar Heels in a couple of weeks. I’ve officially decided to […]

Leaving Notre Dame

With National Signing Day just a few weeks away, I can’t help but think about the past recruiting classes for Notre Dame. So much is made at this time of year about decommitments and snipe hunting and being left all alone at the alter- it is easy to forget about some names that disappear after […]

Irish Surge And Beat Miami 75-70

The Irish took on a dangerous Miami team that came to South Bend at 3-1 against ranked teams on the year (12-4 overall), fresh off of a 90-74 win at Duke. After watching Duke run out to a 20-point lead before winning at Louisville on ESPN while waiting for tipoff, the danger of this Miami […]

Reinventing The Irish On The Fly… Again

The news that broke earlier this week regarding Zach Auguste, academics, and his subsequent absence seemed like an unfortunate blow that could potentially derail a promising season for Notre Dame basketball. Knee-jerk reactions ranged from groans of “not again” (that was me) to, my favorite, a tweet of acceptance that simply read, “Notre Dame expects […]

5 Star Alize Jones Commits To Notre Dame

Alize Jones, a 5 star tight end that had been committed to UCLA for months, has committed to the Irish afterfinally decommitting from the Bruins. With Jones, it has long been “known” that this would be the final result at some point before National Signing Day. Jones announced his decision via Twitter with a series […]

Stanley And Day Return In 2015 To Strengthen The Lines

After watching Ohio State’s improbable run to win the National Championship, the general principles of having a solid fundamentally sound defense and a strong running game to win football games immediately comes to mind. They are basic concepts, but the reason for those concepts being so basic is because of the undeniable truth that envelops […]

Miami Battling Notre Dame For Recruits Via Twitter

So… Miami might be feeling the squeeze of so many recruits in their backyard NOT wanting to go to school there. Taking to the Twitter to let Florida kids know that the weather might be different in South Bend in January than it is in Miami seems like a grasping at straws kind of a […]

Golson To LSU? EVERY Quarterback To LSU

Leave it to the Mad Hatter, that genius- that demigod of college football, to turn a bowl loss into the greatest recruiting tool ever invented to get the nation’s best quarterbacks to Baton Rouge. Les Miles is one of the best in the business, and it ain’t just because he loves to make grass smoothies. […]

Happy New Year And Here’s What’s Up

Happy New Year loyal subjects of the Subway Domer Empire! Your Emperor and Warlord has been more of an absentee landlord rather than the sovereign ruler appointed by god. Sorry.
