Sports fans are a superstitious bunch. The Curse of the Bambino (Red Sox), the Curse of the Billy Goat (Cubs), the Madden curse (Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, Donavon McNabb, Shaun Alexander, etc., etc., etc.). But perhaps no curse gets talked about more than the alleged Sports Illustrated cover jinx. I’m not sure if that’s a…

#1 Notre Dame at USC. With a national championship game berth on the line, it’s the Fighting Irish’s most important trip west since 1988. If you’re joining the team in Los Angeles, there will be a lot to keep you occupied before the game begins at 5 pm (8 pm ET). In case you need…

Notre Dame is now 11-0 and ranked No. 1 in the latest BCS standings following a 38-0 victory over Wake Forest. It was the first shutout victory for the Irish in the Brian Kelly era, and the largest margin of victory in a shutout for Notre Dame since a 42-0 win over Rutgers in 2002.…

So this is it… #1 Notre Dame makes its annual post-Thanksgiving trip west this weekend, and much will be at stake on Saturday night against USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum (8 pm ET on ABC). With a victory, the Irish would secure themselves a place in the BCS championship game on Jan. 7 in…

Celtics vs. Lakers. Red Sox vs. Yankees. Packers vs. Bears. Ali vs. Frazier. The sports world is full of great rivalries. But no game riles the emotions of Irish fans more than Notre Dame vs. USC. The Fighting Irish and Trojans enter this season’s matchup (Nov. 24 at 8:00 pm ET on ABC) on very…

In the most spectacular senior day that I—or anyone—could have imagined, there was a moment on Saturday that I know will always haunt me. As a student section (but more specifically, as a senior class) we had already wrapped our arms around each other, preparing to sway. The band played the Victory March, and then…

We are back … back to #1 in the nation!! The Irish now control their own destiny and will square off against the Trojans of Southern California for the right to go to the BCS National Championship. It doesn’t get any better than this! For my last game as a student I was back in…

Who would’ve thought Nov. 17, 2012 could have gotten any better? The Irish had already trounced Wake Forest, honored 29 seniors in a spectacular sendoff, and proven they could dominate an opponent at Notre Dame Stadium. But that was only the beginning. For one night, Notre Dame fans rallied around Baylor and Stanford, cheering on…

How’s that for style points? The Fighting Irish must have been watching TV this week too. After football analysts and journalists across the country went on about how Notre Dame couldn’t win with the same flash and excitement of its undefeated counterparts, the senior class that opened its Notre Dame Stadium career with a 35-0…

We’re just under 90 minutes away from kickoff here at Notre Dame Stadium. It’s sure to be an emotional afternoon as the Irish honor 29 seniors on the field. …That being said, there’s still a game to play, and a victory is necessary for Notre Dame to keep its national championship aspirations alive. While both…

Yesterday, I wrote a rather lengthy post on the career and legacy of Manti Te’o. Manti is the Irish’s best player and the face of this team – but I would be remiss if I did not discuss the rest of this year’s departing class and the tremendous impact they have had on the resurgence…

As always, the hard-working gang over at The Observer, Notre Dame’s student newspaper, has put together a very impressive “Irish Insider” to celebrate Senior Day. Today’s issue features profiles on each of the 29 student-athletes who will be honored before tomorrow’s 2012 home finale against Wake Forest (3:30 pm ET on NBC). If you can’t…

Note: This document was originally produced and distributed on Nov. 15, 2012. In January 2013, Manti Te’o told ESPN he had been the victim of a hoax regarding the existence of Lennay Kekua. On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2009, one of the nation’s promising football recruits, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound Mormon linebacker from Laie, Hawaii had to…

So this is it. The final home game of the 2012 season. The Irish take on Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm ET on NBC, looking to close out an undefeated home campaign for the first time since 1998. For this week’s Irish Blogger Gathering, I asked NBC Sports’ Keith Arnold about Notre…

The Irish are 10-0 after defeating Boston College last Saturday, and both the offense and defense made solid contributions in the game. Notre Dame’s offense scored a touchdown on three of its first four possessions, but methodical drives by both teams kept the overall drive count in the game low. The defense kept the Eagles…

Senior linebacker Manti Te’o recently sat down with Kate Sullivan (’98), in Fighting Irish Digital Media’s new studio at the Joyce Center. Sullivan, co-anchor of CBS 2 Chicago News, spoke to Manti about his decision to attend Notre Dame, his experience at the university, and his favorite classes, among a variety of other topics. Like…

As much as Notre Dame fans love watching games and talking football, collecting Fighting Irish memorabilia might be a close third for many Domers. And as we mentioned last week, artist Tim Cortes recently completed two pieces that some may want to add to their collection. In celebration of 125 years of Notre Dame football,…

Well, there’s not much to discuss in the way of “Tradition Tuesday” this week. There is no rivalry trophy, no string of last-second finishes, and no comparison between the universities’ football accomplishments. Wake Forest’s athletic program is probably most known for producing NBA stars Tim Duncan and Chris Paul, rather than Heisman Trophy winners. The…

We are back … back to a double-digit win season – boy does that feel great. This week the Irish did what they had to do; they traveled to Chestnut Hill and took care of business. It wasn’t perfect and it wasn’t pretty at times but Notre Dame controlled the game and exited with the…
