One Foot Down: For Notre Dame Fighting Irish Fans

Jude and Brendan threw a pod party and Joshua had to leave early. No worries as we tagged friend of the pod, Greg Flammang ( @greg2126 ) to really break things down on the dance floor. Breaking down the 27-13 win by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the Duke Blue Devils The offensive line and the issues of the day. Ian Book's pocket presence. Kyren Williams had a nice day. Searching for receivers. Michael Mayer is Baby Gronk and we're just going to have to deal with that name. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah's greatness. Kyle Hamilton's injury and what to do about it - if anything. The lack of spring football and the oxidation of the team. Isaiah Foskey is other people's problem. The ACC logo issue/non-issue. And much much more throughout the podcast. We tried to present a more rational approach to the way we judge this particular game, so let's not burn down the Golden Dome just yet - the Irish are 1-0 (1-0). Please RATE and REVIEW!

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan don't miss a beat after last week's MEGASODE. Whether you think college football should be played or not this season, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are working hard towards a championship level season. In this episode: A Michigan Wolverines website published an article that BASICALLY says Notre Dame saved the 2020 season. An unnamed source told them that Notre Dame (against better judgment as academic paradise) wanted a season and helped guide the ACC to play while simultaneously throwing a dagger in the back of the Big 10 - or something like that. Time to start putting down specifics to the season. We play the "Who, Which, Over/Under, Does, Pick Game". WWOUDP for the initiated. And plenty more weaved in and out of the show.

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are ready to talk about the 2020 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football season, and within this 3+ hour podcast - we get around to it. In this episode... We asked for questions because we have all of the answers (and then some). From Brendon Clark to Home Run Inn - we covered it all. We address the coronavirus situation at Notre Dame, and have some words about Father Jenkins. Season preview time. And that's all the energy left after 197 minutes of recording. You don't need a bunch of show notes this week. Throw this in your ears and finish up whatever outdoor project you have. We're here for you. Please RATE and REVIEW!

Joshua and Jude broke out the podcast machine for an emergency session following the huge announcement from the ACC about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. For the 2020 football season, Notre Dame will be an ACC member and will be eligible to play in the ACC Championship Game. In this episode, we talk about: Notre Dame got a running back commitment so we cover that real quick. Money. The absurdity of it all. TV Deals. The ACC / ND relationship is not contentious. Louisville drive-time radio. Miami fans having no idea what they're talking about. Other than Clemson of course, is the ACC even good? Bruce and Stew and what they're wrong about.

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back in the studio together for the first time in a few weeks, and the college football world tossed us a softball to talk about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In this episode: The report about the possibility of Notre Dame playing a 10+1 schedule as an ACC member in 2020, and a path to the ACC Championship game. Atlantic or Coastal?

Josh and Brendan disrobed and stepped into a @celebrityhottub with Banner Society's Ryan Nanni. In this episode: Ryan talks about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hate, and explains why they haven't been annoying enough to the college football universe. Dealing with ND in the college football playoff. The U and their bullshit. Going into a coma in 2003 and waking up in 2020. PJ Fleck and his "greatness". Michigan's clown, Jim Harbaugh. Notre Dame as a villain - can they get there? Be more like Steve Spurrier, except Indiana isn't Florida. The missed opportunity of no Notre Dame vs Alabama in 2020. Settling on "Tommy". The biggest Stanford Cardinal fan on the internet... well it's over. Will there be a fall football season? Sure. The best appetizer for the table and the best appetizer for yourself. Jack Swarbrick made some comments. The disrespect of Kyle Hamilton. Insert other safety... licking their chops. Still defending Donte Vaughn. Lance Taylor and the propaganda for the T-Formation. And

There's no way of getting around the coronavirus when we talk about the upcoming season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and college football as a whole. One of the biggest things that will be gone in 2020 - other than a game against the USC Trojans - is the college football culture that we have come to know and love and embrace in our lifetime. Here's 30 minutes of me explaining that thought and what it means to me. In the show I begged for your thoughts about it all and I do that again... let me know what you think about this.

Joshua and Jude team up for a relaxed fit / alternative topic for this week. Brendan had "all hell break loose" at home and was unable to join us this week, but we know he'll be sharpening his blades for next week. In this episode: The sweet strangeness of the 1995 & 1996 seasons for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans were noticeably absent. Dealing with home and home scheduling. The table was set in 1994. Losing to the Northwestern Wildcats. The Ohio State Buckeyes as a nemesis. Lou Holtz magic. To the Orange Bowl! Thursday night miracles. Breaking the Texas Longhorns. John Cooper had some players. Kryptonite and the Washington Huskies. When you can't run the ball against the Air Force Falcons. 5 beatdowns. The departure of Holtz. Of course the USC Trojans ruin things. Being too good for a bowl game against the Auburn Tigers. Bob Davie gets his Independence. A little bit on Rocco Spindler and recruiting. A TikTok moment. Jude and Josh give

The game versus the Wisconsin Badgers is now cancelled with the news that the Big 10 is moving to a conference-only football schedule for the 2020 season. It has many fans wondering what might happen with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After a brief appearance to just argue with Jude (basically) Joshua had to bounce back into a burning hellhole. Brendan and Seymour took on the task to discuss the matter at hand in much more depth. There's a lot going on right now, but until all the Power 5 Conferences make a decision, these predictions are mostly projections - for now. Please rate and review!

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan celebrate their post 4th of July dad duties with another podcast episode about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program. It's STILL rivalry week on SB Nation, so we definitely get into some of that. In this episode: The perfect Red Bull. Jude's Addiction has become a problem to his wife, but perfect for all of us. The commitment of Joe Alt. Comparing Mack Brown's situation with the North Carolina Tar Heels to Brian Kelly's at Notre Dame is asinine and we go in depth about it all. Some favorite rivalry moments with the USC Trojans (sort of). Are the 2012 and 2018 wins against USC overrated? Rivalry Trophy talk on steroids. Make a new rivalry for Notre Dame with hardware. We get cute with other college football rivalries. We give Jude the greenlight for another podcast and declare the OFD Podcast as officially a Cincinnati adjacent podcast and a Last Kingdom Podcast (because this is what happens now). Wear a mask. And plenty more weaved in and out of the show. Please

On this OFF THE RAILS episode, I wanted to make sure that everyone knew my true feelings abut the Notre Dame Fighting Irish rivalry situation. I'm fairly certain that many of you were throwing a wee bit of a fit this week. Navy apologists lost their damn minds because of something I don't care about, and many others had a wide variety of other opinions about it all. You want to know something funny? IT'S FINE! Rivalry thoughts and attitudes will vary from fan to fan, so it's okay to disagree - even with me. Please rate and review! All reviews left on Apple Podcasts will be read on the next OFD Podcast.

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan embark on a journey to try and explain the complicated hierarchy of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football rivalries. It's a topic that can get outright controversial in some respect, and we do our best to lay it out (as we duke it out). In this episode: Somehow Notre Dame's "The Shirt" makes an appearance and Josh's blood begins to boil. We discuss the recent news about Under Armour and the UCLA Bruins and if any of that will affect Notre Dame. Brendan gives the HOTTEST of takes on the rivalry with the USC Trojans. Historical rivalries and if the Navy Midshipmen belong there - or anywhere. The Michigan State Spartans as a BIG R. How the Penn State Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Panthers fit as rivals. The Michigan Wolverines and it's exit from BIG R status. How we view the rivalry with the Stanford Cardinal. Did the Boston College Eagles make the list based almost solely on their hatred for Notre Dame? A future rival in the making? And an insane amount of MORE weaved in and out

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back together while still maintaining hundreds of miles of social distance. In this episode: We interview Mike Singer from Blue and Gold Illustrated and he breaks down the Notre Dame Fighting Irish recruiting effort during the coronavirus pandemic. What is Notre Dame doing well? What in the hell is a "virtual visit"? And what does Notre Dame need to do better. We also get further understanding on how the ranking system works with camps - during the time of NO camps. We dive into the rally at Notre Dame on Juneteenth and marvel at Daelin Hayes once again. Notre Dame only had ONE player test positive for COVID-19. We talk about what this means for Notre Dame and what it could mean for the college football season. Mike Brey made some noise this week with his views on transfers and how the NCAA operates. We enter the Catholic portion of our podcast. And a ridiculous amount of other things weaved in and out of the podcast (yes, Hot Dog VS Corn Dog continues). Please rate and rev

Jude, Brendan, and UHND's Greg Flamaang got in front of a microphone on Monday night to bring a high-quality podcast about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Joshua was out of the office and in an industrial hell hole, and the show must go on (and Greg is always super good). In this episode: Everyone gets a DJ name. Thoughts on the latest Brian Kelly Zoom press conference. The Chuba Hubbard situation. Notre Dame's players and their amplified voice. Stalking Kyle Hamilton. How digital school went for everyone. Ian Book 4 Heisman - MAKE THE BANNER! How good is the Notre Dame offensive line? Chris Tyree and the running back room. Kyle Hamilton on offense? (Remember that Greg is on the show). Thoughts on Jordan Johnson's possible impact as a freshman. Houston Griffith or Isaiah Pryor? What will Notre Dame's graduate transfers do for the Irish in 2020? Hot Dog VS Corn Dog. Greg thinks Julian Love is a 5-Star END GAME. The most exciting stadiums the Irish will travel to in the future. And a fair amount

Joshua, Jude, Brendan were able to step away from their wives and children once again to bring you the best conversation about Notre Dame Fighting Irish football that you will ever find while not looking. We still have many questions about the 2020 season, and we bring up a lot of questions that kind of pertain to the situation. Kind of. In this episode: We dip a toe into the conversation surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement. Ryan Barnes CROOTIN. Getting back on campus. How to make Notre Dame football different. Best and worst coached games. Most dominant opponent mascots. A 5-Star THROWDOWN. A college football playoff committee debate. HOT TUB TIME MACHINE. When were we the MOST wrong about ND football.
