Much has been said about the possibility that this upcoming college football season will not begin as scheduled. Longtime ESPN announcer Kirk Herbstreit stated controversially that he would be “shocked” if college football were to happen this fall. Coach Brian Kelly, though not taking a particular side on this question, responded in his typical fiery

On their way to the national title game, Clemson had many doubters. The media has been lambasting them all year for playing in a weak conference and not being as good as last year’s title-winning team was, which is not completely untrue. The ACC, especially this year, was arguably the worst of the Power Five

The Irish continued their lengthy stretch of early-season road games over spring break, traveling to the Carolinas for seven games in 10 days. Over the course of the road trip, the Irish (8-10, 4-2 ACC) opened conference play and clinched two series against ACC opponents. Notre Dame opened the break with a trip to Wake

On Friday night, the Notre Dame baseball team will match up against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, North Carolina for its first of seven games over spring break. The Irish (4-7) are coming off a weekend in which they swept Charleston Southern and got swept by Ball State in South Carolina. The team will return to

After the most painful-to-watch Super Bowl in recent memory, I figured the time was once again ripe to point out my favorite obvious fact: Criticisms of women’s basketball are nothing more than sexist excuses not to watch women succeed at a sport. The number of people (let’s be honest, predominantly men) who say women’s basketball

Following a tough road loss to North Carolina, Notre Dame bounced back with a rout of Clemson in Clemson, South Carolina. The team was dominant in all aspects of the game as it scored 100 or more points for the sixth time this season. The Irish (20-2, 7-1 ACC) asserted themselves early. After Clemson (14-7, 5-3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Graduate student linebacker Drue Tranquill removed his helmet to reveal his tear-streaked eye black and took a knee on the sideline as the Tiger Band transitioned from the Clemson fight song to “Celebrate Good Times.” Senior linebacker Robert Regan and graduate student tight end Nic Weishar came over and offered hugs and pats

DALLAS — On Friday morning, Irish head coach Brian Kelly and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney sat for a joint press conference, their final opportunity to address the media before their two teams face off Saturday in the Cotton Bowl, the first half of the College Football Playoff Semifinal. One of the hottest topics of

It wasn’t always pretty. For every blowout win over Virginia Tech on the road there was a dropped pass on 4th down by Vanderbilt that nearly set the Irish on the path toward another sub-par season. Yet, just over four months later, the Irish have earned themselves a ticket to the College Football Playoff, having

After the first game of the season against Michigan, it would be reasonable to argue that the Irish outmatched their opponent, at least on paper, each week. And that schedule included some fantastic programs — Virginia Tech, Stanford, USC and Syracuse. No matter who Notre Dame (12-0) was set to square up against, you could
