@JohnDBrice1 @USATODAY @usatodaysports Outstanding!

PERSONAL NEWS: Excited, humbled to announce that I am joining @USATODAY @usatodaysports as College Sports Insider. Full-circle moment for me after starting in newspapers & reading USAT thru college & beyond. Many, including my great wife, Jess, have supported beyond measure. Doesn’t happen w/o the great experience @FootballScoop alongside Scott, Doug & Zach; great colleagues & men. Excited to roll later this month!

@AnthonyAnders11 @ndwbb You’re a local journalistic legend, Anthony. Thanks for all you’ve done! It was a such a pleasure working with you — a real pro.

I believe a magical @ndwbb season befitting of Irish Nation passion is about to tip. As for myself, a final horn of sorts has sounded ...

Well, the rumors are true: @mwanbaugh is leaving the South Bend Tribune. The going-away party at the only place fitting: Fiddler's Hearth. Thankful I got to work the last 14 months for a great editor and even better person.

.@NDFootball game week is here, which means a return of NDInsider's Pod of Gold podcast. New this year - listener questions. 👍 Post your question about this Irish team and this season.

Where does @sarhilde eat after winning @Olympics gold for @TeamUSA? Well, @McDonalds of course. It had been a while #Paris2024 @SBTribune @SBTsports southbendtribune.com/story/sports/o…

"Father John is a true North Star." The Rev. John I. Jenkins reflects on his 19 years leading @NotreDame. Here's my story for the @SBTribune southbendtribune.com/story/news/loc…

Great job Tom!

Grateful to be recognized by @APSE_sportmedia alongside some great journalists in @tnoieNDI, @MikeBerardino, @mwanbaugh and @gbell65. Special S/O to Tom for winning awards for his coverage of Mike Brey's departure from ND hoops!

It’s another 10-win season for #Notredamefootball with a 40-8 win over Oregon State it the @TonyTheTigerSB

Notre Dame leading Oregon State in the @TonyTheTigerSB 14-0 deep in the heart of Texas

Here we go at the @TonyTheTigerSB

Outstanding setting for a college football game. @TonyTheTigerSB #NotreDame vs. @BeaverFootball

About ready to go in Death Valley #NotreDame vs. #Clemson

It’s the “Icy Whites” for #Notredame football vs Clemson Saturday. Last time the Irish went all white was vs BYU in the Shamrock Series in Las Vegas last year.

Two great games. Two last-second disappointments for Notre Dame. southbendtribune.com/story/sports/c…

Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Jack Kiser save the day for the Irish - for now - stopping a handoff to Emeka Egbuka on fourth-and-1 from the ND 10.

The bracelet light show … then an 11-play, 96-yard drive over 6:28 for a 14-10 Notre Dame lead.

Fourth quarter time. Hope you took the under.

Notre Dame on the board with a 13-play, 75 yards with 7:39 elapsed, capped by a 1-yard direct-snap touchdown to RB Gi'Bran Payne as QB Sam Hartman split out wide. 10-7 OSU with 3:35 left in third.

Buckeyes take a 10-0 lead on 61-yard TD run by TreVeyon Henderson after Notre Dame turnover on downs. But WR Marvin Harrison Jr. helped off the field after getting his ankle rolled.
