Notre Dame, Navy Extend Series Through 2026
One of the better and historic rivalries will live continue to live on. Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick and Naval Academy Athletic Director Chet Gladchuk announced on Wednesday that the two schools will extend their matchups in football through 2026.
Notre Dame/Navy is currently the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in all of college football. Both schools have met one another each year dating all the way back to 1927, when Hebert Hoover was roaming the White House. (more…)

With the start of training camp just a few short weeks away, I will examine the Notre Dame roster, position-by-position, over the next several weeks leading up to the start of the regular season on the first Saturday in September.
First up will be the quarterbacks, which was a position that had a lot of turnover during Brian Kelly’s first season at the helm in South Bend. By only the second game of the season in 2011, Kelly had already used three quarterbacks due to an injury to his starter and poor play from one his backups.
This group may be short on game experience, but it is one of the most talented units on the Notre Dame roster. Lets take a look at the position shall we? (more…)

Notre Dame star receiver Michael Floyd pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor druken driving charge that he was given back in March and was sentenced to one year of probation on Wednesday.

The question remains is will the senior play in the Irish’s opener against South Florida on the first Saturday in September?
Leprechaun Legion Under New Leadership
As you could probably already tell, I have posted my first blog, but I don’t think it would be fair if I continued to post without introducing myself.
My name is Kevin Bonneville and I have been a diehard Notre Dame fan ever since I can remember. As you already know, it has been a tough road for us Irish fans the last 20+ years with the last National Championship coming in 1988. I was only a few months old when that happen. For a football program as rich as Notre Dame’s, that is simply way too long, but with Brian Kelly under the helm, I think we will be adding one shortly. (more…)
