NOTRE DAME, Ind. – UND.com is proud to announce the creation of its new blog, Irish UNDerground, which debuts Tuesday to coincide with football’s media day. Fans are encouraged to bookmark Irish UNDerground at und.com/blog.

Fans can get their daily fix of features, live chats, videos, photos, commentaries and news regarding current and former Notre Dame student-athletes and staff.

Each Notre Dame home athletic contest and selected special events will be covered with a live chat on Irish UNDerground which can also be accessed on mobile devices, bringing you closer to the the heartbeat of the Irish than ever before.

To help launch Irish UNDerground, join us Tuesday for a live chat throughout the football team’s media day at Notre Dame Stadium. The chat will begin at 9:45 a.m. (ET).
