University of Notre Dame

By Frank Vitovitch Notre Dame, IN – Saturday’s game against Connecticut could very well be the last game coached in Notre Dame Stadium by current head coach Charlie Weis. Should that turn out to be the case, Notre Dame fans should give their embattled coach a proper send-off. And no, I’m not referring to some so...

By Jeff Baumhower It is likely that Notre Dame will be in short supply at quarterback this spring due to injury and the possibility of Jimmy Clausen heading to the NFL. Quarterback Tommy Rees of Lake Forest High School (Ill.) sees the opportunity to get adjusted to the college game, and is contemplating early...

By CW Pick a result - any result - and I'm pretty sure you could convince an Irish fan it was possible.  The only thing I'm pretty sure of is a lot of points are going to be scored, meaning look for a 10-7 game late in the fourth.  I'll be down at Heinz Field in Section 214 to witness a great win or the end of t...

By CW 1. Pitt hasn't really played anybody yet.  They've played teams that aren't bad - Rutgers, South Florida, NC State, Connecticut, NAVY - but there isn't one that makes you nod in appreciation of their great work.  To their credit, they take care of business against the bad teams, but Sagarin h...

By CW My position regarding Weis is that I wanted 9-3 and that record is still possible, so until it becomes unachievable, I'm going to hold off on posting about potential coaching changes.  I'll be listening to Monday Night Football  for secret signals from Jon Gruden and looking into Brian Ke...

Notre Dame's aim: Win USC game to regain name - Dodd They replace a Heisman Trophy winner (quarterback Carson Palmer, 2002) with a Heisman Trophy winner (Matt Leinart, 2004), and then the next year had a third Heisman Trophy winner (Reggie Bush) at running back.

By Wacko(nwaechter@hotmail.com) 1. Weis is a horrible coach, and [example of poor performance from most recent game] is why he'll never win a championship at Notre Dame. Hire [Stoops, Meyer, Saban, Gruden, etc.]. Weis is a horrible coach, and the complete lack of tackling fundamentals in this game show that we'll never have a...

By CW BlueGraySky - who has all sorts of fun stuff over there as we get ready for the season - got their annual picture of all the tickets, and my, aren't they pretty?  Six days until kickoff, folks, and once you make it until Thursday, they'll be football waiting for you.

By Matt Sussman The California Kid, Nate Montana, is going to enroll in Pasadena City College and play for one year, before transferring back to Notre Dame and try to compete for the starting quarterback job in 2010. Pasadena City College? I think UND plays them next year.

By CW January 26 - Marquette (15-2, 4-0 Big East) - Simply the worst team in the conference for Notre Dame in regards to match-ups.  They have so many large, capable guards that the undersized Irish backcourt has fits attempting to stop the slash-and-kick.  The Irish won at home against the Eagle...

By Rob Jake Golic, TE, Conn. - A name you might be familiar with, Jake is the brother of last year's commit Mike Jr. and is the son of former Irish star Mike Golic.  He was, like his brother, Notre Dame's first commit of the 2009 class and stars at tight end.  While he's a bit lanky (6-4, 225), he's got a grea...

By CW     You have to love the effort from Luke Harangody, hauling in 36 boards in Notre Dame's two tournament games.  Against Washington State, he was pressing like everyone else on offense, but he had the added bonus of getting double-teamed every time he caught the ball down in the post.  You'd...

By CW Seth Davis paid the Irish a fantastic compliment in his weekend picks today, writing that "Few teams in America have better chemistry and role definition than the Irish. What's more, this is the best defensive team Mike Brey has had in South Bend."  I don't want to get my hopes too far up, as th...

By CW It's clearly a statement to the talent of Beasley that he pulled in 19 points and 13 boards and we're trumpeting our successes, but hey, those were both below his season averages.  Using a 2-3 zone that was pretty active most of the time, the Irish constantly had multiple defenders around Be...

By mosebar@hotmail.com (The Heisman Pundit) So now the big issue with Notre Dame is the future.

He might have left the Irish in the lurch
