Spring practice has officially kicked off and the road to the Blue/Gold game has begun. Shane and I break down this first practice exactly how any long-time listener would expect that we would. Plus, we take a look at some interviews given by Jack Swarbrick and Brian Kelly in recent weeks. A lot of time is spent on BK's rather um...sudden change of heart and philosophy in this episode. In fact, this episode completely focuses on Notre Dame football this week. There's a lot to talk about and … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Down Goes Bama” Episode
Well, the unthinkable happened. Clemson took out Alabama to win the national title and put an end-cap on the 2016 college football season with one final upset. Shane and I talk about this incredible game which saw nearly 100 (!!!) plays run by Clemson and some of the ballsiest calls we've ever seen in a game. Plus, the Notre Dame coaching staff puts in some final pieces and we talk about how the Irish are looking heading in to the final stretch before signing day. Perhaps we will talk you off … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Don’t Miss the Bus” Episode
Yes, don't pull a Kiffin and miss out on a breakdown of the fun that was the New Year's Six bowls. Plus, we have more headlines from around college football and Notre Dame, and the final pick of the season with Eddie. Normally, this post is full of links of what is discussed; however, this post will bypass that usual practice for two reasons: (1) the day job kicked my ass and I absolutely won't have time to do and (2) we talked a lot of actual football so there aren't a whole lot of links … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Farewell to 2016” Episode
I don't know about the rest of you Loyal Readers and Listeners, but I'm happy to see 2016 go and Shane certainly shares those sentiments as well. Between the crappy Notre Dame football we witnessed, far too many pop culture icons kicking the bucket (especially within the last week, good God), and professional lives being summed up as "could have gone better", we will not miss this year at all. Hopefully your 2016 was far better and hopefully you are ready to end it with the last podcast we … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Skipping Bowls This Christmas” Episode
And no, Shane and I aren't just talking about Notre Dame. The first week of bowl games have been...well, not great for the most part. We found ourselves tuning out more than tuning in to most of the games this week. However, there were a couple of gems which we made sure to highlight on this week's show. The original plan this episode was to have a large discussion topic around the skipping of bowl games by NFL-bound players, namely Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffery. As we are want to … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Carousel’s at Full Speed” Episode
We have arrived at that time of year in which the first major wave of head coaching changes have fallen into place. There is a lot to cover and Shane and I spend the majority of this episode recapping the major moves around college football. Before we get to the usual linkage, don't forget that there are still a couple of charitable things happening around the Notre Dame family this holiday season. You have the Rakes-led effort for the South Bend Center for the Homeless as well as … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Notre Dame-Free” Episode
Yes, a Notre Dame-free episode might sound a little crazy to publish in this space, but let's be honest with each other. We need a break from talking about terrible ND Football things and you need a break from hearing it. Shane and I took this task so seriously that we did our damnedest to not even utter the words "Notre Dame" all episode. … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “We Don’t Know” Episode
There's really no better way to describe the feeling that Shane and I have on this week's Roundup than the title of "we don't know." From insane rankings to trying to preview a Notre Dame game that will feature two Jekyll and Hyde teams, we certainly try our best, but end up circling around to the same conclusion. So why listen to this show if we've already spoiled the conclusion? Because it's all about the journey...and jokes. The Roundup We talked about these on the recap, but had no … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Shamrockin’ It” Episode
I don't know about y'all, but I had one hell of a week. I must say that I really need a bit more levity in my life and recording this episode with Shane and Eddie was just what the doctor ordered. We talk about those other Tuesday night results--you know, the college football playoff rankings--and take a hard turn into as many of the fun and hilarious stories that we could find in the world of college football. But what to do about a bad Notre Dame football team playing a not very exciting … [Read more...]
Friday Roundup: The “Grab Bag” Episode
Facebook reminded me that, two years ago on this very day, I announced that the Friday Roundup would debut as an audio medium on the DFW airwaves. Quite a lot has changed since then. The show went from the radio to a podcast. From solo babbling to having guest pickers and then a permanent co-host. From staying clean to cursing like sailors. It seems fitting, to me at least, that this episode ended up being a complete episode of randomness. This college football/Notre Dame podcast ended up … [Read more...]
