A Notre Dame Football Blog
Back in 2014, I wrote what I felt was the perfect storybook ending to the Notre Dame/Michigan series. Attending that game is still my favorite memory inside Notre Dame Stadium. In fact, I became so consumed with Michigan's destruction that evening, I failed to take a picture of the 37-0 scoreboard before the six were tragically laid to rest (#RememberTheSix). Thankfully, my wife had my back on that one and it is her picture that lives at the top of this post. But this story isn't over. ...
I may be playing hurt and coughing up a lung but that doesn't stop Shane and I from bringing you the latest headlines heading into the 2018 college football season. Week one may be a little light, but we welcome football back with open arms. Oh, and Notre Dame has a big game as well. Check out the podcast below: ...
What, your copy of NCAA '14 looks different?
I don't know about you, Loyal Readers, but I'm ridiculously starved for college football. Generally, around this time, we used to be blessed with the presence of EA Sports' NCAA series until legal issues with player likenesses nuked the series (related: please pay athletes royalties and bring it back, kthx). However, a small group of fine folks over at Operation Sports, keep the series alive by updating the roster every year. Considering our new presence on Twitch, I pitched an idea to Shane ...

Unless you are one of those folks that keeps tabs on the Fulmer Cup, early July isn't exactly the time in which you expect college football news to break. Yet, here we are in the wake of Notre Dame's announcement that the Arkansas Razorbacks have been added the 2020 and 2025 schedules. Now, I understand that, even in this barren desert of Irish football news, you may find it hard to get excited for games that are three and eight years away. To be fair, I'm right there with you; however, ...
What an unexpected year! No one should have been surprised that 2016 followed 2015; but the manner in which it followed was surprising: Not so much as night follows day, but more as a troop of rabid baboons follows the tourist who went to relieve himself behind the bushes and missed the bus back to the safari lodge, all while having his pockets stuffed full of beef jerky and hard candies. The Fighting Irish 4-8: We began the 2016 season ranked tenth and widely expected to vie for a place in ...
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. ...

The nation will be glued to the TV tonight to see the only poll results that matter: The College Football Playoff. (Right? Isn't that what all the polling stations are for?) ...
This week, I feel that I have channeled my inner Clark Griswold. If something could go wrong, it has. This podcast is no exception. Not only have Shane and I seen or normal recording schedule go haywire, but I was in rare form in terms of podcasting screwups. Thankfully, this medium allows for edits to make the product sound much less clusterfucky; however, I felt like every loyal listener to the show deserved some insight into just how off the rails I went during recording in the form of a ...
