Mascots are a very polarizing topic. You either love them or hate them, and some people are even scared of the guys in the big felt suits behind masks. There’s a real diagnosis for this phenomenon: Masklophobia, sometimes referred to as Maskaphobia. Sports fans, however, are a completely different story. They feel very passionately about

On Thursday morning, the Notre Dame women’s tennis team will begin ACC tournament action against Wake Forest in Cary, North Carolina. The matchup with the No. 9 seed Demon Deacons could be a fortuitous one for the Irish. Notre Dame faced off against then-No. 25 Wake Forest earlier in the year and came away with

Notre Dame women’s tennis enjoyed a strong weekend, going 2-0 in home contests against Syracuse and Boston College. The winning streak was the latest high in an up-and-down season for the Irish. With two consecutive wins, this is now the eighth time this season Notre Dame has piled up multiple wins or losses. The wins

Nearly a month after their last home match, Notre Dame women’s tennis will return to South Bend this weekend for a pair of ACC matchups with No. 8 NC State and No. 25 Wake Forest. The No. 27 Irish (11-6, 1-4 ACC) will look to improve their conference record as they continue navigating a challenging

Notre Dame’s men’s basketball would like to snap its lengthy losing skid before Mike Brey moves on. However, the team is running out of time to get it done. On Saturday, the streak reached seven games in a 66-58 road loss to Wake Forest. The Irish were competitive for much of the contest, but faded

At this point, it feels like Notre Dame men’s basketball games are following a script. Two weeks ago, the Irish went stride for stride with Georgia Tech all game before faltering in the final seconds. Then the same story played out against Virginia Tech, Duke and Virginia. After a 63-59 defeat at the hands of

There can be something freeing in sports about letting go of expectations. A season that began with fairly high hopes for the Irish men’s basketball reached the point of no return a while ago. Probably even sooner than when legendary head coach Mike Brey announced 2022-23 will be his final season on Jan. 19. The

Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman announced Thursday afternoon he’d be transferring to Notre Dame for the 2023 football season. Hartman coming to South Bend represents a home-run addition for offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and the Irish heading into the spring period. Widely regarded as the best quarterback in the portal, Hartman spent the last five

After a weekend of significant upsets (yes, I am counting No. 3 Georgia defeating No. 1 Tennessee as an “upset,” even though Georgia was a 10-point favorite), the playoff picture got much clearer. Alabama, it would seem, is officially out of the playoff race as they no longer control the SEC West and are a

Through seven games of non-conference play, it would be difficult to call Notre Dame women’s soccer’s season anything but a roaring success. The team has notched a perfect 7-0-0 record, with every win coming by a multiple goal margin. The defense has allowed just three goals across 630 minutes of play. And with ACC play
