University of Notre Dame

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...

By Jeff Baumhower Notre Dame is bringing n two quarterback sin the 2010 recruiting class, but they’re already searching for the right guy to sign for the 2011 class. Price Litton is a junior quarterback from Providence Day School (Charlotte, N.C.) and he’s already taken a couple trips to South Bend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -After his first season as Notre Dame coach, Charlie Weis hung a banner in the weight room that read: "9-3 is not good enough.''

By Christian Zavisca This was not how the beginning of Notre Dame football's stretch run was intended to go.

Notre Dame may have gotten Michael Floyd back from a broken collarbone for its clash against Navy, but the Irish had no answer for the Midshipmen's option offensive attack as Navy won 23-21 in South Bend. Navy ran all over Notre Dame, racking up 349 rushing yards, dashing any BCS hopes Jimmy...

Irish opponents go 2-6. Notre Dame makes a slight ascent in the latest BCS rankings.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis believes a trip to San Antonio for a home game could help the Fighting Irish make sure they don't overlook one-win Washington State on Saturday.

By Scott Wolf I never got a chance to mention that the Notre Dame band, led by USC grad Ken Dye, once again put on another original halftime performance with a re-enactment of the moon landing. Dye is 2 for 2 on halftime... I never got a chance to mention that the Notre Dame band, led by USC grad Ken Dye, once again...

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.

USC at Notre Dame: Despite the media desperately trying to make Notre Dame and their weak schedule relevant again, the Trojans come into this one 10-point favorites. Can Jimmy Clausen, Heisman candidate (I chuckle every time I read that), compete with fellow Cal native Matt Barkley, or w...

By CW about : In this photo made Oct. 3, 2009, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, left, celebrates a touchdown against Washington during an NCAA college football game in South Bend, Ind. Clausen isn't the same quarterback who walked out of the Los Angeles Coliseum seven games ago following U...

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 Jake Brown Matt James didn't have a lot to say after his latest unofficial visit to Notre Dame, but what he did offer was a positive review. The four-star offensive tackle likes Frank Verducci's style and Notre Dame's atmospher

By CW I was chatting with my dad on the drive home from work earlier in the week and we started talking about the upcoming football season.  I was telling him how I can't imagine the Irish going 3-0 because that would make me too happy and the pitfalls were too varied to avoid tripping up once.

By CW Compared to so many that have followed the Irish for generations, I'm a neophyte in my knowledge of Notre Dame history.  My first time on campus was to visit in the spring of my senior year of high school, and my first home football game was against Michigan in 2004, when we all met Darius Walke...

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 CW For some godless reason, football seems particularly far away this year.  Because of this, fans of every team have way too much time to talk themselves into - and out of - their favorite's prospects this season.  The following is a typical conversation that goes on in the mind of a Notre Dame f...

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 Rob UConn won't be #2 for much longer.  With their win against Notre Dame Saturday afternoon, they'll likely be #1.  The Huskies were able to fight off an impressive effort from the Irish on their way to a 72-65 win in the last minute of the ballgame.  The Huskies' win brings the team to 15-2 in the Bi...

By CW A rather eventful week for Notre Dame football considering it's mid-June.  I'm taking off after posting this for a Rakes summit with Rob and Jay Bruce, as I make my first and last visit to the House Ruth Built before the Yankees move out at the end of this year.  If anything should break over the...

By CW Having had the opportunity to attend every Notre Dame home game over the last four years, I've had the privilege to see a lot of great players come through its hallowed grounds.  Braylon Edwards, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Paul Posluszny and Matt Ryan (72 million?!  Really!?!), among man...

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 T Kyle King I must apologize to Maize 'n' Brew Dave for saying so, but Paul probably is right that Michigan essentially is off the table. Even though Bill Martin has given us the most slender ray of hope, the Wolverines are not looking to schedule a tough non-conference away game in an even-numbered yea...

By mosebar@hotmail.com (The Heisman Pundit) So now the big issue with Notre Dame is the future. Charlie Weis could have signed Mitch Mustain in 2006 out of Arkansas, but Clausen let it be known to Weis that if Mustain signed with the Irish, he would not be coming. He might have left the Irish in the lurch

By Pete Sampson Notre Dame could probably use too much of a good thing on the defensive line. In fact, based on recent contact with Kapron Lewis-Moore, the Irish might be gunning for strength in numbers at the positio

Notre Dame fans arrived at the BlueGold game eager to see highly touted quarterback Jimmy Clausen. They left talking about littleknown tailback Junior Jabbie.

By mjdeadspin This happened shortly after Michigan State's loss to Notre Dome, and I can't tell if this fellow is losing his voice, or if he's actually crying.
