STANFORD, Calif. — I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. If you had told me at the start of the season I would be disappointed in a team with a 9-3 record, I don’t know that I would have believed you. In fact, I predicted this team would finish the season 9-3 at the start of the

As No. 8 Notre Dame closes out the regular season against No. 21 Stanford on Saturday, there is a lot at stake for the Irish to make a statement win over the Cardinal. A win would almost guarantee Notre Dame (9-2) its second New Year’s Six bowl game in the last three seasons. The Irish

I wanted to write this column two weeks ago before Notre Dame faced Miami. I hope I don’t have the opportunity to write it again.

After a tough outing against Miami (FL), Notre Dame rebounded on the field with a 24-17 win over Navy. And the Irish may have rebounded on the recruiting trail as well.
