A Notre Dame Football Blog
I wasn't planning on releasing a podcast. In fact, the interviews that you are about to hear were initially planned to debut during my 24-hour Extra Life marathon. But then Chip Long and Notre Dame decided to break up. In a happy accident, one of my guests, Ty Hildenbrandt of The Solid Verbal, already had a scheduled interview just a mere 24 hours after the news broke. So it seemed rather appropriate to get our thoughts on the situation in your podcast feeds ASAP with the added benefit of ...
The regular season has finally ended, the playoffs seeded, bowls assigned, and coaches shit-canned. Come join Shane and I as we discuss a rather chalky championship weekend, initial reactions to the bowl slate, the silly season, and Notre Dame's upcoming matchup against Iowa State in the Camping World Bowl. ...
We've finally hit the final week of regular season picks. After this, it's bowl season, but before we move to that chapter I have to find a way to pick up one more game on Eddie to finally beat him head-to-head. There's a lot of fun football on the slate and some final chances for chaos. Don't let the moment pass you by and join us at the altar of GAMBLOR one more time. #HAILGAMBLOR ...
The final week of the college football season never disappoints. Notre Dame's easy win against Stanford certainly didn't raise too many eyebrows, but to be fair it's hard to compete against Ole Miss losing because of a dog urination celebration and Nick Saban losing due to have twelve men on the field. We have loads to discuss this week, including multiple coaches showing their asses in post-game pressers, finding the true definition of accepting mediocrity, and discussing the start of the ...
What, your copy of NCAA '14 looks different?
It's the final Notre Dame NCAA Sim of the regular season. We got rain. We got crosswinds. We got a stadium that neither virtual or real Brian Kelly has ever won in. Will the streak of nightmares continue? Or will ND exorcise multiple demons? Come take some time out of your turkey hangover to come find out as we close out the sim season. ...
We've finally arrived at both the greatest and saddest time of the college football season. It's the week in which everyone around the nation stops pulling their scheduling punches and goes all-out--the final week of the season is upon us. The Iron Bowl. The Game. Bedlam. The Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe. And that's just scratching the surface. Oh, and Notre Dame needs to end a freaking decade-long streak of failing to beat Stanford at the farm. It's the final regular season trip to the ...
As we mentioned on the Notre Dame/Boston College recap show, the holiday season is here meaning that it's time to adjust the regular podcasting schedule. As such, we are bumping the usual Wednesday/Thursday schedule up a day, with the Picks podcast tonight and the Sim on Wednesday night. Typically, this wouldn't necessitate a full post; however, with both Christmas and New Year's landing in the middle of the week some advanced planning needed to go down. After all, Shane, Eddie, and I all ...
While this week typically doesn't have wall-to-wall excitement, it was far from boring. A top ten team fell, some games got spicier than expected, and even Notre Dame's blowout of Boston College was elevated by the fantastic, and Flutie-free, Notre Dame Fan Feed. We hit the major stories of the week, including some additional opining from yours truly about a couple Texas teams. Plus a look at the ND/BC game that might just talk more about the broadcast than the actual game. ...
I'm not sure if there is a more frustrating combo for a Notre Dame fan than to have to deal with than consecutive weeks featuring Navy and Boston College. The Navy sim eased fears and was a solid predictor for a good time this past Friday--perhaps we run it back again? There's only one way to find out. Come join us in the most accurate prediction method in all of sports, the NCAA '14 sim. After all, it's senior day against BC, what could possibly go wrong?! ...
This is always the toughest week of college football to find decent and entertaining games to put on the board. Shoutout SEC for your FCS habit and damn near every other conference working overtime to skirt rivalry matchups and fun. Despite the frustration, it's still college football y'all. There are only two Saturday's of full season goodness left to consume. Don't abandon it. Cherish it and come with us to the altar of GAMBLOR as the good Lord intended. #HAILGAMBLOR ...
