What, your copy of NCAA '14 looks different?
The 2019 Sim Season has come down to this. One final fever dream from my XBox, victimizing two teams that, thankfully, Shane and I do not care about. I think I now have no choice but to check my XBox into rehab after this one. Enjoy! ...

Shane and I often say that our NCAA Sim is constantly on drugs, but I feel like a special delivery was made over the holiday. I'm not even sure how to describe this one beyond the fact that, as seems to be tradition, all your worst "Hold Me, I'm Irish" fears come through in this virtual mayhem. It's the last Notre Dame Sim of 2019, so buckle up and join us one last time as Notre Dame takes on Iowa State in the Russel Ath--err, Camping World Bowl. ...

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. ...
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?! ...

The Notre Dame NCAA Sim returns this week, bring Shane and a cold open back with it. With our virtual booth back to full strength, we turn to the most accurate of all prediction methods in sports to see just how much we need to worry about a ranked Navy team. After all, we've seen Notre Dame struggle against offenses deploying option concepts this season, so it's not like the number next to Navy's name is the only thing to worry about. We also discuss recent NCAA compliance cases featuring ...
Running the sim on Halloween seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. After all, it predicted, with far too much accuracy, the hell that awaited Notre Dame in Ann Arbor. However, this time around, dare I say it gave us hope?! Also in this episode a bit of chatter about name, image, and likeness rights for college athletes, plus an iTunes review that I somehow missed for over a month! ...

Remember every nightmare that you had as a Notre Dame fan about the 2011 Under the Lights game. Well, do we have a sim for you! (I'm sorry.) (But the chat went hard in the paint with the new ability to play drops and that makes it all worth it!) ...

Yes, there is three full minutes of a cold open in this episode. Clearly, we've had far too much success and smooth sailing, so everything came crashing back down in spades during our live recording. Those three minutes are a small sample of the sheer panic I had while trying to get everything working again. Thankfully, I managed to not just get the live stream audio fully functioning again, but somehow managed to edit a coherent (well, for HLS anyways) episode and sim....and now that the sim ...
The most accurate prediction tool in all of sports had…well, let's just say it had some surprises. There's really no explaining or even teasing this. It has to be seen or heard. ...
It's that time of the week once again. Time for the most accurate of all prediction and preview methods in sports today, the NCAA '14 Sim. For the second week in a row, Notre Dame finds themselves in the game that features the two highest ranked teams. After a rough road trip against Georgia (both real and Sim-wise), the Irish return home to face the #18 Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia may be for lovers, but the Sim has no love for anyone...especially when it goes on full drugs like it did ...
