Is it a forgone conclusion that Coach Golden is moving on? I hope he sticks around, the D is performing at an elite level and Marcus needs a coach on the staff with a little experience under his belt still.

What a treat to watch Hidalgo play. I do no know she and Miles will mesh.

I thought the kid looked pretty good in his time on the field. Threw some nice passes, that TD pass was pretty, but he seemed confident and looked good. We shit on this kid on this board, but another game next week and who knows about the bowl game and another year in the system, I think he is a perfect bridge to wait on Kenny and CJ to develop. QB after next year will not be an area of concern if we continue to recruit the position like we have.

@Eric Hansen and I will go live on YouTube at 8 p.m. EST for the next edition of "Football Never Sleeps." That's a special time due to the Notre Dame football interview schedule this evening.

We'll discuss head coach Marcus Freeman's Monday press conference, how Notre Dame should hope to finish the regular season at Stanford and answer questions from viewers.

Football Never Sleeps is sponsored by Legacy Heating & Air.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The overall No. 2 seed Fighting Irish men’s soccer team turned in a complete performance, posting a 2-0 win over Kentucky to advance to the NCAA Championship Round of 16.

Notre Dame will play Western Michigan on either Nov. 25 or 26 at Alumni Stadium with a start time to be announced. The winner will advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals.

Both Irish goals came in the second half, as Bryce Boneau continued his fine form with the opener before Nolan Spicer scored the first goal of his career to help put the match away.

Bryan Dowd finished the evening with three saves to earn his ninth clean sheet of the season, Notre Dame’s 10th.

Dabo and Clemson smack one of the top QB’s in the country Maye. All of a sudden I don’t feel as bad.

In all the time I've watched football, I've never seen a play like that where the entire offensive line hits the dirt after the snap. In fact, I'm not quite sure why they did it? It did confuse the defensive line, but ND was still in position to make that tackle?

Notre Dame will unveil its Muffet McGraw statue prior to the women's basketball game against Purdue on Dec. 17.

Inside ND Sports observed several commits and one 2025 safety target enter Notre Dame Stadium in the last hour.

On Saturday night, Notre Dame 2025 cornerback target Cree Thomas announced he will be committing on Nov. 20.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound cornerback out of Phoenix (Ariz.) Brophy Prep is deciding between Notre Dame, Arizona, Arizona State, Boston College, California, Colorado State, Nevada, Purdue Oregon, San Diego State, UNLV and Wisconsin.

Thomas is a three-star according to Rivals. He is ranked as the No. 31 cornerback in the 2025 recruiting class.

Notre Dame hosted Thomas on unofficial visits for its games against USC and Pittsburgh in October. Thomas has also visited Arizona and Wisconsin for games this season.

. . . I hope you didn't watch the last 5 minutes of the Bears game.

I saw this posted on Twitter tonight.

I'm curious: How many of you are season ticket holders? Are any of you season ticket holders for a pro team? What do we think of the prices?

No. 17 Notre Dame hockey went on the road to No. 6 Minnesota and took the first game of a two-game series Friday night by a 4-2 margin. The Gophers responded with a 4-1 victory of their own Saturday.

Notre Dame (7-4-2, 3-1-2 Big Ten) won the first game with a two-goal third period to break a 2-2 tie.

Drew Bavaro put the Irish ahead 3-2 with an even-strength goal 3:30 into the third period with assists from Patrick Moynihan and Landon Slaggert. Then Slaggert put home an empty-netter with 26 seconds remaining the game.

The first two ND goals belonged to Grant Silianoff and Moynihan. Irish goaltender Ryan Bischel saved 32 shots, including eight in a scoreless third period for Minnesota.
