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 ...

Morning Roundup: Sept. 12, 2016
Notre Dame improves to No. 18 in the coaches' poll, stays pat in the AP poll. Torii Hunter Jr. is coming back from injury. These stories and much more from the past 24 hours of Irish football below. ...
Friday Roundup: The “Game of Titles” Edition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SyTCWjjarw A song of wins and losses shall resume its tune next week. The weekly battles shall resume as shall the feasts, drinking, joy, and pain. Brace yourselves, football is coming. Lord Brian Kelly is looking to lead his once proud house back to its former glory. The house of DuLac was once an undisputed king of the north and their influence extended across the realm. The game has changed and Lord Kelly is trying to change with it in the face of a ...
Friday Roundup: The “RIP, Tex” Edition
Here's a recipe for disaster: have your NOLA bachelor party the weekend after you come back from a trip to Vegas. Oh, sure, it was a work trip to Vegas; however, since I learned how to run a much smoother trade show, I actually got to hang out with my coworkers and they are just as much a bunch of gambling/drunk degenerates as I am. The most painful of these nights was spurred by one of my bosses leading the way to terrible decisions. Needless to say, I had a blast. Now, by the time you read ...
Notre Dame Women’s Basketball: No Blood No Foul
Leading into tonight's championship game between Notre Dame and Connecticut (8:30 EST, ESPN), you should know that women's basketball isn't about kittens, orange slices and post-game handshakes. There are rivals and there is hatred. There are elbows and shoves and trash talk. When you think of classic sports rivalries, you probably think of Red Sox vs. Yankees, Bears vs. Packers, Lakers vs. Celtics, Florida vs. Georgia Southern. What you may not realize because your head is focused on ...
Why You Should Be Thrilled About Bob Diaco to UCONN
No, that title isn't click-bait. Notre Dame football fans should all be genuinely excited that yet another coach has been plucked from the ranks of Brian Kelly's staff. First, it was Chuck Martin to the "Cradle of Coaches" at Miami University and now, Bob Diaco is off to take the reigns of UCONN, securing a 5 year, $1.5 million/year contract according to Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports. UPDATE: Diaco's final contract is now a confirmed 5-year, $8 million contract. Diaco's contact also includes ...
Sweet Dreams in Pieces: Notre Dame Crashes Out
Much will be written about Skylar Diggins's legacy at Notre Dame in the coming days. Today, though, is for dissecting last night's disappointing loss to UConn in New Orleans in the Women's Basketball Final Four. UConn will go on to face Louisville on Tuesday, while Notre Dame will clean out their lockers, wonder what could have been, and what is to come. Sure, there are incredible bright spots on Irish horizons. Today, though, the seas between are disturbed. Coach Muffet McGraw's Fighting ...
