If there is any interest, Germany beat Spain 1-0 to win the Bronze. Germany a yeam the US beat twice and Spain the team Brazil beat to get to the gold medal game.
Hopefully the US team we have watched all Olympics shows up tomorrow. Hopefully the Trident of Smith, Rodman and Swanson is to much to handle.

Brandon Logan, a Notre Dame safety target in the 2025 class, announced Friday night that he's backed away from his verbal commitment to play baseball at Vanderbilt.

Notre Dame's defensive line showed its potential last season. Now it needs to keep pushing the standard.

“We can do it, but now you have to show it, and repeatedly show it,” said Howard Cross III.

It's going to be hard to keep freshman linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa off the field. He's already giving Notre Dame's running backs fits as a blitzing pass rusher.

“The guy is just crafty,” said Deland McCullough.

Notre Dame football released a 52-second video of clips from Thursday night's practice inside Notre Dame Stadium.

Former Notre Dame women's basketball star Jackie Young scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field in Team USA's 85-64 semifinal win over Australia at the Paris Olympics.

The win was the 60th consecutive Olympic win for Team USA's women's basketball program. A 61st win on Sunday will give the Americans another gold medal. Team USA awaits the winner of France-Belgium in a game set to tip today at 3 p.m. EDT.

Young, a starter, played just under 20 minutes in the victory. She added five asissts, two steals and two rebounds to her 14 points, which were only behind Breanna Stewart's 16 for a game high.

Young hit double digits for a third consecutive game. She scored a team-high 19 against Germany to finish group play and poured in 15 points in the quarterfinals against Nigeria.

Fellow former Notre Dame player Jewell Loyd scored three points and contributed two assists and two rebounds in 11 minutes off the bench against Australia.

The gold medal game is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. EDT on Sunday.

My offensive line notebook on Tosh Baker's move to No. 1 left tackle, why Aamil Wagner is staying at right tackle, the left guard competition and the emergence of freshman Anthonie Knapp.

"I’ve got no doubt about his ability to step in there and do a great job," Joe Rudolph said of Baker.

Remember Elijah Paige? The former Notre Dame commit is set to become USC's starting left tackle as a redshirt freshman. A video of him towering over others went viral this week.

Paige hasn't accomplished much yet, but a reminder of one of the things that led to Notre Dame's current situation at left tackle.

This story from our USC site has some more on Paige if you're interested

Former Notre Dame star Jackie Young continued her Olympic hot streak, scoring 15 points in Team USA's 88-74 quarterfinal victory over Nigeria, Wednesday in Paris. The Americans will take on Australia in the semis on Friday. The Aussies downed Serbia in the quarters 85-67. Belgium upset Spain, 79-66, to advance to the semifinals, while host France beat Germany, 84-71, to move on.

The medal games are on Sunday.

Fellow Notre Dame alum Jewell Loyd contributed three points, three rebounds and an assist for the U.S. Former Irish center Lauren Ebo collected two points, two assists and a rebound for Nigeria. Young had three rebounds and two assists to go along with her scoring.

..................it's still hard to fathom beating the long jump record by nearly 2 feet in 1968. Of all Olympic moments, this one ranks right up there with the 1980 US hockey team. The record was so badly beaten, the in-place measuring equipment was inadequate to measure what he'd done (they had to get a tape measure).

Former Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush (2015-18) discusses expectations for ND QB Riley Leonard, how Wimbush's legs helped the Irish against tough defenses, protecting mobile quarterbacks, what Mike Denbrock brings as offensive coordinator, how to handle the transition as a transfer QB, what he's learned in the NIL space as a cofounder of MOGL, how the latest rulings will impact NIL, if he would transfer out of ND again, how his ND education has impacted him and more.

Then @Eric Hansen and I answer questions from Twitter and The Insider Lounge (23:24).

As expected, Notre Dame graduate Yared Nuguse will compete in the 1,500-meter final on the track in the Paris Olympics.

Nuguse won his semifinal Sunday with a time of 3 minutes and 31.72 seconds. He was just ahead of fellow American Hobbs Kessler at 3:31.97.

Nuguse's time was the best of the two semifinals. Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the other semifinal with a 3:32.38 time.

The men's 1,500m final is scheduled for Tuesday at 2:50 p.m. EDT

UPDATE: Nuguse finished third to win a bronze medal in Tuesday's 1500-meter final. USA's Cole Hocker won gold with an Olympic record time of three minutes and 27.65 seconds. Great Britain's Josh Kerr finished just ahead of Nuguse for silver. Kerr's time was 3:27.29. Nuguse's 3:27.80 is a personal best.

@Eric Hansen and I will record another Inside ND Sports podcast on Thursday.

If you have multiple questions, try to be succinct and ask them separately. Thanks!

The United States women's soccer team plays Germany at 12pm today. Early in pool play these two teams played and US won 4-1. Do not be fooled by a 4-1 score. Soccer is so comparable to playing chess. Each match is different and each team can win.
I have watched all the US games and Japan and Australia used the best strategy. Play with 5 players in the box defending the goal and taking their chances on offense when possible. US beat Japan because of the skill of Tiffany Rodman. Then again i have said the US best players were Tiffany Rodman and Sophia Smith. Thats why teams pack the box. They are really fast and skilled with the ball.
In any case the game should be good.

….like most of us, is to watch old ND games. Had Lou been able to retain Barry Alvarez, there’s little doubt he would have had 2 or 3 more natties. That Marcus was able to keep Golden here may well have been the most impactful thing he could have done.

Oh, and man, was Pat Hayden a cliche machine or what???
