With the Fighting Irish’s 5-0 start, there have been a lot of “This is the first time since…” factoids coming out of the athletic media relations office (Thanks @NDHardin, @NDsidBertschy and @NDHeisler). Well, we can add another one to the list. Shortly after the conclusion of Notre Dame’s 41-3 victory over Miami, ESPN announced that…

Notre Dame crushed Miami at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday night to move to 5-0 on the year. The defense was dominant again, holding the Hurricanes to only three points, recording a third straight game in which the Irish kept its opponent out of the end zone entirely. The Irish offense was even more…

When I started writing this column, I had no idea things would go this way. Each of my other three football seasons at Notre Dame was some other class’s “senior season.” I figured my last year would go something like theirs, and when I wrote about it, I would write about the emotions. I would…

The day has arrived. It’s been a long couple of weeks since Sept. 22. Well, luckily, Notre Dame football is back, and it’s sure to be a special night at Soldier Field as the Irish look to improve their record to 5-0, when they take on Miami at 7:30 pm ET on NBC. After weekends…

Between Notre Dame football on Saturday and the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, the Windy City is going to be a great place to be this weekend. As the site of this year’s Shamrock Series game, the university has planned several great events that will keep you entertained and busy over the next few days. If…

Notre Dame had a bye last week, and those of us who participate in the Irish Blogger Gathering had a break of our own. The IBG returns today in preparation for Saturday’s Shamrock Series game against Miami (7:30 pm ET on NBC). This week, I sent my three questions to Subway Domer, who had a…

I’ve said before that Notre Dame—and by extension Notre Dame football—has always been a part of my life. My father (’81) is as Notre Dame as it gets. All I usually have to say to get people to grasp that is that our dog’s name is Ara. Believe it or not, the reservations I had…

The Fighting Irish return from a bye week, and it’s been a busy few days as the university prepares to bring a Notre Dame football weekend to the Windy City for the Shamrock Series. First of all, my apologies for the delay on this week’s Tradition Tuesday. Tradition Wednesday doesn’t have quite the same ring…

The Irish are off to a 4-0 start and rank among the nation’s leaders in several statistical categories. Notre Dame ranks first in total touchdowns surrendered (3), third in points surrendered per game (9.0), fourth in turnover margin per game (+2.25), and the Irish are the only FBS team in the country that has yet…

If you’re familiar with the Fighting Irish, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the “spirit of Notre Dame.” You’ve also probably heard the Joe Theismann quote that was on The Shirt in 2005 – “If you could find a way to bottle up the Notre Dame spirit, you could light up the universe.” Perhaps that indomitable spirit…

On Wednesday, offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Chuck Martin and assistant head coach/defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Bob Diaco spoke with reporters for the first time since Notre Dame’s Media Day in mid-August. The press conferences lasted a little over 20 minutes, and Fighting Irish Digital Media has videos of each on the Notre Dame Athletics YouTube channel. The…

Based on some of the tweets and Facebook posts I’ve been reading, you might think the “end” of the Notre Dame-Michigan series is the sign of an impending apocalypse. Relax, friends. Yes, Notre Dame announced yesterday that it has canceled games against Michigan for the 2015-17 seasons, thereby signaling the end of the big series.…

The Notre Dame 13-6 victory over Michigan was punctuated by an incredible defensive effort that forced six Wolverines turnovers and kept them out of the end zone throughout the night. Michigan made five trips to the red zone on Saturday and came away with only two field goals on those five possessions. Last week, we…

If you are an Irish fan among the 80,795 who were at Notre Dame Stadium this weekend, Saturday night was one you won’t soon forget. From the impressive play of the defense to the unforgettable post-game celebration, there was much to be commemorated in Notre Dame’s 13-6 victory over Michigan. One of the ways you…

We are back … back to Notre Dame football. This week was different. It seemed as if the entire campus was holding its breath. The student body had a weird feeling. A feeling that this year could be special. A feeling that this team was not like teams of past years. A feeling that this…

Let me tell you a story. The story goes that last year, my friends and I woke up before the sun rose to drive to Ann Arbor in time for ESPN’s College Gameday. We wove through the crowds of obnoxious yellow and endured shouts of “Go Blue!” (among other indelicate sayings). We descended into the…

On the first night of autumn, The Four Seasons said it best. Oh, what a night in South Bend. Notre Dame defeated Michigan for the first time since 2008, and perhaps even better, the Irish finished September with a perfect 4-0 record. It was not always pretty – after all, the teams combined for eight…

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard people talk about what it was like on campus when the Irish took on top-ranked USC in October 2005. Most of the time, their story ends with “you had to be there.” Unfortunately, I was not in Notre Dame Stadium, nor was I…

As head coach Brian Kelly and his squad get ready for the biggest game of the young season, the Fighting Irish Digital Media crew has a lot of video coverage leading up to the matchup with Michigan. FIDM’s Jack Nolan caught up with All-American running back Reggie Brooks on Thursday to preview this weekend’s big…

Who’s ready for Saturday? The Irish Blogger Gathering returns this week, and I think I can safely say, all four participants are ready for the Irish to crush the Wolverines. For this week’s post, I traded questions with Keith Arnold (@KeithArnoldNBC), from the NBC Sports Inside The Irish blog. Check out the other IBG posts…
