The Irish Illustrated team has its finger on the pulse of Notre Dame transfer portal news, recruiting, coaching staff moves and more after the Irish lost to Ohio State in the CFP National Championship

The minus-20 wind chill didn't deter some fans from celebrating Notre Dame football's return home from Atlanta on Tuesday.

Notre Dame didn't accomplish its biggest team goal of 2024, but did take huge steps in moving the program forward despite a national championship game loss.

Notre Dame fans flocked to local establishments to watch their beloved Fighting Irish play for the national championship.

Notre Dame captain Jack Kiser was understandably emotional following the Irish loss in Monday night's national championship game.

Notre Dame is an independent but plays four other ACC schools. The dates for those games have yet to be set but the opponents are: at Pitt, at Boston College, North Carolina State, and Syracuse. The Miami game is scheduled for Hard Rock Stadium on Aug. 30 but it could move anywhere from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1.
