Before last week’s BCS championship game, ESPN aired a feature on Sam Grewe, a 14-year old from Middlebury, Ind. who was adopted by the Notre Dame football team in spring 2012. During Christmas week 2011, he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a cancer in the bone. While preparing for a rare Van Ness rotationplasty, the Irish…

And I am back, back for one last post to reflect on my journey over the past four years with Notre Dame football. It all started in the basement of Alumni Hall on the first night of freshmen orientation perfecting the lyrics to the fight song, the alma mater and the other Notre Dame cheers.…

And we are back … back to reality, woops there went gravity. As I stood on the field at the end of the game trying to absorb the moment, I couldn’t help but ask myself, why? Why did this season, in which everything else went right, have to end like this? My thoughts lingered as…

I don’t want to talk about silver linings or graduation rates. I don’t want to say, “Well, at the end of the day, I still go to a great school.” I’m irritated at the people who are posting that they’re glad they didn’t go to Miami. It hurts. It better hurt. If it didn’t, it…

129 days ago, Notre Dame began its season in Dublin, Ireland. Four hours from now, the Fighting Irish play for the national championship. It’s been tough to comprehend, and even as I sit here in front of the field, it’s still kind of hard to believe. Tonight is the moment these players and coaches have…

If you’re a Fighting Irish fan, you know all about tradition. There are few words as commonplace as “tradition” back on campus in South Bend.

After six long weeks, here we are on National Championship Eve, less than 24 hours away from the biggest Notre Dame game in almost a quarter century. Wow. It has been a heck of a week for Fighting Irish Digital Media, and the fun continued last night at the Notre Dame Pep Rally. FIDM caught…

Tomorrow is the day. At the beginning of the season, I said I felt like the night before the Navy game felt like Christmas Eve. I tossed and turned all night, worrying and wondering what this season would bring. There is absolutely nothing in my life to compare Sunday night to–nothing could have prepared me…

On Monday night, Notre Dame students, fans and alums of all ages will take to Sun Life Stadium, hoping to witness the Irish’s twelfth national championship.

We’re less than 48 hours away from the big game, and it’s been a crazy couple of days here in South Florida. Today, the Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide visited Sun Life Stadium for BCS Media Day. Each team had an hour on the field, with players and coaches speaking with media members from various…

So this is it…the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Nope, not the highly anticipated matchup between #1 Notre Dame and #2 Alabama, but rather, Subway Domer’s take on the big game in the final Irish Blogger Gathering of the season.

It’s Working Wednesday (well, technically it’s Friday) for the Fighting Irish, and the big game is inching closer here in south Florida.

Jones, Theo Riddick…

During this bowl season, I’ve seen a few tweets about the amount of food that college football players have consumed during their organized team meals. Last night, while Alabama enjoyed a barbecue on the beach, the Notre Dame football team went to the popular Brazilian steakhouse, Fogo de Chao. While I don’t have any exact…

While the rest of the team had some time to sleep and grab breakfast before team meetings, day two got underway bright and early for a few of the defensive players and coordinator Bob Diaco.

After weeks of anticipation, and on one of the coldest South Bend days in recent memory, Notre Dame finally took to South Florida on Wednesday.

Everett vs. Manti. #5 vs. #5. Offense vs. Defense. A definitive play vs. A legendary celebration. Barbara Johnston vs. Matt Cashore. #1 seed vs. #2 seed.
