Few people understand the grief of losing a beloved pet. When Irish Breakdown publisher Bryan Driskell and his wife, two self-declared animal lovers, had to make the hard decision of putting their dog down, not all could empathize with their overwhelming loss — except maybe their neighbor and Driskell’s colleague, Lou Somogyi. The senior editor

This weekend, like many of you, I got to watch some great games, some high-flying offenses, strong defensive stands and a come-from-behind win that was truly exciting. Unlike most of you, I’m not talking about March Madness; I’m talking about Fan Controlled Football, the latest startup football league. The league just finished up its first-ever

Electric. Magical. Terrifying. These are a few words students used to describe the storming of the field after Notre Dame football’s double-overtime victory over Clemson Saturday. There was a tangible shift in the Stadium’s energy as the Irish settled for a game-tying play. Fans rushed to the first 15 or so rows of each designated student

Famous for his stadium-silencing lead-in — “May I have your attention, please?” — and punny public safety messages, “Notre Dame game day legend” Tim McCarthy passed away at the age of 89 earlier this month. Former sergeant of the Indiana Police Department, McCarthy served as Notre Dame’s voice of traffic safety for 55 years. He

Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly spoke with the press in preparation for Saturday’s home game against Florida State. This press conference comes off of a two-week break for the Fighting Irish, and Kelly discussed lessons learned and the wide receiver position. “Certainly for me and our team, and certainly, our entire staff, we’re
