Welcome to August 12, 2020.
Notre Dame football is officially back.
Sort of.
Whatever the case, Notre Dame’s football team will hold it’s first official practice ahead of the 2020 season on Wednesday and that’s about all the information we have for you.
A time of the practice is not known and there will be no media availability via Zoom call or anything else with any player or coach, including Brian Kelly once practice concludes.
According to 247Sports, ACC referees were in attendance at at least two member schools Monday for conference practice sessions. The report adds that ACC referees have assignments for the first three weeks of the season which is slated to start September 10.
A day after the Big Ten and Pac-12 both cancelled their football seasons, Notre Dame officially begins their first as a member of the ACC. It’s easy to get swept up with the news of the sport in recent days but hey, it’s here!

It feels like the start of no season any of us have ever seen and hopefully unlike any we’ll ever enter again.
But after a trying spring and frustrating summer, Notre Dame football is back today.
Here’s to hoping for what would feel like a considerable upset at this point and Notre Dame, along with the entire ACC, getting their 10 scheduled conference games in this fall.
And Notre Dame winning a trophy in what is hopefully the only season they don’t play as an independent in my lifetime.
