 Michael Floyd - WRJan. 30 - 8:30 pm et
"The defense is going to do what the defense is going to do. If we score fast and it's three and out and then we get the ball, hopefully we can score fast again. That's the idea," new Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
Don't look for Kelly to deviate too much from the up-tempo offenses that have made him a success at Central Michigan and Cincinnati.

 Michael Floyd - WRJan. 13 - 8:15 am et
Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd and "6 to 10" other people were involved in a fight at a house party in Minneapolis on Jan. 8.  Floyd was cited for underage drinking.
Not exactly the way coach Brian Kelly wanted to start off his coaching tenure.  There is not word from Kelly on Floyd's punishment.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBJan. 5 - 9:45 am et
Former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen is expected to have surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right big toe, requiring two to three months to heal.
Clausen will likely miss most, if not all of the NFL Combine in February and schedule a private workout for NFL scouts in April.

 Golden Tate - WRDec. 10 - 8:15 pm et
Notre Dame's Golden Tate won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top wide receiver.
Tate beat out finalists Freddie Barnes from Bowling Green and Jordan Shipely from Texas. Tate has had two phenomenal years with back-to-back seasons of double digit touchdowns and over 1000 receiving yards. Tate, a junior, has already declared for the 2010 NFL Draft.

 Golden Tate - WRDec. 7 - 8:15 pm et
Notre Dame junior wide receiver Golden Tate has decided to declare for the 2010 NFL Draft.
Tate's departure does not come as a shock, especially given recent events. Over the last two years Tate has proven to be one of college football's top playmakers.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBDec. 7 - 4:45 pm et
No surprise as Notre Dame junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen has decided to forgo his senior season and make himself available for the 2010 NFL Draft.
Clausen's press conference at The College Football Hall of Fame to announce he was attending Notre Dame seems 10, not nearly three years ago. And while it's fair to say his collegiate career didn't produce anywhere near the wins that Irish fans anticipated, the former #1 QB recruit in the nation did improve considerably during his three years as starter.

Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick says the 6-6 Irish will likely decline any bowl invitation. "I agree (no bowl) is the likely outcome, but we are reconvening the leadership counsel to make a final decision," athletic director Swarbrick told the Chicago Tribune.
Sure your season didn't go as planned.  Sure you canned your coach.  Sure your starting quarterback and one of your top wide receivers are likely to jump to the  NFL. But... canceling your bowl game sends a bad message.  Notre Dame fans must be appalled if this is the case.  This is not like the situation of a few years ago when South Carolina and Clemson declined bowl bids following an on-the-field fight that probably warranted such a measure.  On the positive side, the players at UCLA are eager to play some football.

 Armando Allen - RBDec. 2 - 2:00 pm et
Various sources are reporting that Notre Dame has contacted UConn head coach Randy Edsall about their vacant coaching position.
As the Chicago Sun-Times states, Edsall doesn't have the same wow factor as Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer and even Brian Kelly, but would a good fit for the Irish.  Edsall has done an excellent job building the UConn program over the last 11 years.

 Golden Tate - WRDec. 2 - 8:00 am et
Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate is expected to meet with former Irish coach Charlie Wes on Friday regarding whether he will return for his senior year or enter the NFL Draft.  Tate says two big factors will be whether or not quarterback Jimmy Clausen returns and who the next Irish coach will be.  
Something tells me Tate has pretty much already made his decision.  Especially after his performance against Stanford last weekend.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 30 - 3:30 pm et
Notre Dame players are expected to vote on Monday on whether or not they want to play in a bowl game.
I hate to pile on Notre Dame while they are down, but are you serious?  Any player that puts a 'no' vote down has to be seriously questioned.  Your season was a disappointment, sack up, get over it and go do what you came to Notre Dame to do...play football.

 Golden Tate - WRNov. 30 - 2:24 pm et
Notre Dame has fired coach Charlie Weis, according to the New York Daily News.
It was only a matter of time. Weis finishes his five years at Notre Dame with a 35-27 record, not much better than the "6-5" record he said was unacceptable when hired. It doesn't seem like Weis will struggle to get an assistant job in the NFL, although he doesn't exactly need the money. Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate seem likely to enter the NFL Draft now.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 29 - 8:15 pm et
Despite recent rumors, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says he does not have an interview set up with Notre Dame.  
Notre Dame has yet to make a decision on the status of Charlie Weis, at least not officially.  Stoops, Urban Meyer and Brian Kelly are all names that have been thrown around as potential candidates for the Irish gig.  Of them, Kelly seems like the only one that has a remote chance of happening.  The rest seem to be figments of imaginations for Irish faithful and media members.

 Michael Floyd - WRNov. 29 - 10:00 am et
Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd caught 6 passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Stanford.
If Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate both bolt for the NFL, and with the likely dismissal of Charlie Weis looming, what is in store for Floyd in 2010?

 Golden Tate - WRNov. 29 - 10:00 am et
Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate had 201 yards receiving and three touchdowns in the loss to Stanford.
Another Notre Dame offensive star who has an NFL decision to make, Tate has gone over the 100-yard mark four games in a row, and has exceeded 200 yards twice.   He has scored at least one touchdown in eight consecutive games and has 17 total scores on the season.  Solid.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 29 - 10:00 am et
Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen threw for 340 yards and five touchdowns, but it wasn't enough as the Irish fell once again.
Notre Dame has been a fantasy gold mine all year.  With Clausen expected to go pro, that well could dry up quite a bit in 2010.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 25 - 9:45 am et
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick says that quarterback Jimmy Clausen was "the victim of a sucker punch" at a South Bend bar early Sunday morning.
Clausen, his girlfriend and his family were enjoying a midnight snack at C.J.'s Pub, except it was 2:00 a.m. No word on the junior's status for Saturday.

 Armando Allen - RBNov. 24 - 10:00 pm et
Notre Dame running back Armando Allen is doubtful against Stanford with a broken bone in his right hand.  
Allen has had a rough year, suffering from a list of injuries since week three against Michigan State.  Robert Hughes will be called upon to carry a majority of the load.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 24 - 9:00 am et
WGN 720 is reporting that Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was involved in a fight outside a Notre Dame bar early Sunday morning, and he may have been given two black eyes as a capper to a pretty rough day.
Normally we don't deal in rumors such as this, but it's hard to doubt a WGN report; after all this is the organization that allowed the nation to enjoy Harry Caray. This Irish are preparing to face Stanford this weekend, and this development could certainly have a huge impact on the contest.

 Golden Tate - WRNov. 21 - 11:30 pm et
Notre Dame wide receivers Michael Floyd and Golden Tate both went over 100 yards with a touchdown, but it wasn't enough as the Irish lost to Connecticut.
If you don't care about the Charlie Weis watch, I suggest not watching ESPN all week.  He's probably gone, but I guess it's not over until the portly coach sings.

 Jimmy Clausen - QBNov. 18 - 5:30 pm et
"Oh no, I don't think that any decision's been made because I probably would know, and I don't know," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday about the possibility that he could be fired.
Unfortunately for Charlie, the guy that gets fired is usually the last to know.  Weis has been on the hot seat after dropping the last two games.
