By

Every week an athlete, coach or recruit gets in trouble with Twitter. Actually, it's more often than that. Around 7pm CT last night, Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert Tweeted: "Big recruiting day tomorrow here at ND. Looking forward to meeting and hangin with 5 star Fort Wayne native @JaeeSmiff9ENT Eifert's eagerness to meet recruit Jaylon Smith may be a violation against … [Read more...] about Notre Dame player tweet could lead to NCAA violation

Former Bulls, Notre Dame star Orlando Woolridge arrested for stealing aluminum tubes

By

On some of those early Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls teams, forward Orlando Woolridge was the second best player. Or at least the #2 scorer. Obviously, those Bulls teams weren't very good. Post-NBA life has been less-than-kind to Woolridge who was released on bond after his arrest for stealing aluminum tubing at a drill site in Louisiana. Stealing aluminum tubes? Perhaps … [Read more...] about Former Bulls, Notre Dame star Orlando Woolridge arrested for stealing aluminum tubes

Notre Dame lands top 10 recruit; who flaked on his own press conference

By

I hate National Signing Day, and this year's version is so lame that is even showed up to annoy me three weeks later. Here's what went down Monday according to Lost Lettermen: The No. 8 recruit in the country according to ESPNU called a press conference at Kyrene de la Esperenza Elementary School (his old stomping grounds) in Scottsdale, AZ, in which 600 kids were brought … [Read more...] about Notre Dame lands top 10 recruit; who flaked on his own press conference

Notre Dame star, NFL QB bust Rick Mirer owns winery now

By

Former Notre Dame quarterback Rick Mirer has found himself again in life as owner/founder of Mirror Wine Company. After studying marketing at Notre Dame and graduating in 1993, Mirer was taken #2 overall by the Seattle Seahawks where he was a tremendous bust. The debate that year was over taking Mirer or Drew Bledsoe. It's pretty obvious the New England Patriots made the … [Read more...] about Notre Dame star, NFL QB bust Rick Mirer owns winery now

Notre Dame, once written off, look like NCAA Tournament lock now

By

When best player Tim Abromaitis went down for the season, Notre Dame was totally written off for the entire college basketball season. Instead, they've had a true Ewing Theory going on, just like they did in 2010 when star forward Luke Harangody got injured and missed a lot of games down the stretch. The Fighting Irish were written off by everyone after some bad losses in … [Read more...] about Notre Dame, once written off, look like NCAA Tournament lock now

Notre Dame Suffers Major Natl Signing Day Loss; Overall Haul Still Very Impressive

By

Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly did suffer one major setback today, as 5-star wide receiver Deontay Greenberry, Mr. Football in the state of California, verbally committed to ND 8 months ago. Today, he changed his mind and instead signed with Houston. However, there's still a lot left in this class. ESPNU ranks the Irish class #9, Scout #15. The nation's No. 1 quarterback … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Suffers Major Natl Signing Day Loss; Overall Haul Still Very Impressive

Notre Dame’s Mike Brey: His Best Coaching Job Ever?

By

Call it Ewing Theory Part Deux. When leading scorer and rebounder Luke Harangody when down with injury in 2010 midseason, Notre Dame Coach Mike Brey rallied his college basketball team out of a losing streak and into a solid NCAA Tournament berth with a few adjustments. The major adjustment was shifting to the burn offense, which although extremely boring to watch, limits … [Read more...] about Notre Dame’s Mike Brey: His Best Coaching Job Ever?

#1 Syracuse Suffers 1st Loss at Notre Dame

By

With what happened tonight in South Bend, I felt it necessary to re-run yesterday's story about Notre Dame knocking off so many #1 ranked teams. It seems very prescient now on my part, almost predicative . Though I did say in the article I don't think it was going to happen. Jack Cooley (yes, the new Luke Harangody looking guy) had 17 points and 10 rebounds against a … [Read more...] about #1 Syracuse Suffers 1st Loss at Notre Dame

Notre Dame Tight End Tyler Eifert Returning for Senior Year

By

Notre Dame junior tight end Tyler Eifert will remain at Notre Dame for his senior year and not enter the 2012 NFL Draft. Eifert graded out as a third round prospect by the draft committee, just the perfect place to make the decision a very gray area. He will not follow in the footsteps of Kyle Rudolph, who had a very easy decision in declaring for the draft last year. … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Tight End Tyler Eifert Returning for Senior Year
