A Notre Dame Football Blog
Another week, another victory recap episode in which there is very little to complain about for the Irish. The performance, especially in the first half, was as dominating as you will see in college football. Sadly, the no touchdown November streak died, Jack Coan had a bad interception, and the turf monster probably robbed us of a long TD or two. Despite all that, Notre Dame did what they needed to do to make their case to the playoff committee. Shane and I spend the second segment of the ...
With Thanksgiving approaching, Eddie and Shane were gracious enough to carve out time on Tuesday to get our usual podcasting done early. Below you will find both the picks podcast and the NCAA Sim podcast and VoD. Eddie and I are all tied up after I had a massive week. As usual, our $200 bet for Extra Life will go down to the wire. This brings us both to 86-60-3 on the season. Talk about going out with a bang in the last year. In fact, I'm so proud of the record, that I did a bit a ...
Who throws a shoe, honestly? (Screen capture from ESPN broadcast)
Loyal Listeners, you are (hopefully) wondering why your podcast feed is empty this morning. Because 2020 is still 2020'ing, Shane is still handling his situation that kept him out last week. I considered another solo episode, but I honestly didn't think I had a full episode worth of worthwhile content. Don't get me wrong, as you'll see below, there is a lot worth talking about, including some really hilarious peak college football. Without Shane though, if I'm going to riff by myself, the ...
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. ...

It's time to cut down some damn trees y'all. I run solo in this episode/NCAA sim that has an ending that you have to see/hear to believe. Oh, and I highly suggest having a stiff drink by the time the fourth quarter hits. Trust me on this. ...
Week 4 was the classic, under-the-radar choas week, but week 5 is chock full of top 25 on top 25 violence with two top ten matchups to boot. Oh, and Notre Dame just happens to be one of them. Come check out the picks and be sure to join the fun by filling out the form at the bottom. ...
Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame's strength of schedule (from USA Today's Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I'll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. ...
I was happy to turn the page on the new year if nothing else than to turn the calendar on one of the worst years of Notre Dame football that I can remember. Starting on New Year’s Day of 2016 and throughout the season it was seemingly one bad moment after another. Now with the national title playing out tonight, our long Notre Dame nightmare can end. Or can it? Since the end of this season, there have numerous coaching changes. When the Irish tee it up on opening day next year, the ...
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 ...
