Jude was able to sneak out for lunch and brought Greg Flammang onto the show from UHND and the Untitled Notre Dame USC football Podcast. Here's what they chit-chatted about: - USC Trojans season so far and how that's mirrored expectations - Update on their quarterback situation - How the Trojans offensive line may not handle the Irish's defensive pressure - Wide receiver threats for the Trojans and which defense Clark Lea should DEFINITELY NOT play - The return of Jafar Armstrong - Matchup problems for the Trojan secondary against the talented Notre Dame Fighting Irish wide receivers - How the Irish offensive line should be able to handle the Trojans defensive line - Greg recounts his tense family experience during the Georgia game - Greg gushes about Kyle Hamilton (of course) - Score predictions We thank Greg for taking the time today, and you can read his work over at UHND and hear more of his delightful voice on the Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast.

In this OFF THE RAILS episode of the OFD Podcast, Josh gives his annual plea for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to join the rest of the college football world in the promotion of their rivalry trophies. More specifically this week (and it really only has to be this week) the rivalry trophy with the USC Trojans... The Jeweled Shillelagh. Why doesn't Notre Dame bring this thing to the field to be won or lost? Why are they so casual about the trophy? Brian Kelly is running around at every chance he gets to talk about the trophy, and it has been promoted heavily with the trophy case and other videos showing the thing off - so why not let the student body get a little taste? WHY ARE WE CONTENT WITH HAVING THE MAIN IMAGE OF THIS STICK ON THE INTERNET BE OF CARSON PALMER HOISTING IT UP IN TRIUMPH AFTER THRASHING THE IRISH? Shouldn't we want more  from this? I think so - and will never stop saying as much (and more probably). Please rate and review y'all! Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/

Josh, Jude, and Brad sat down and recoded a beautiful podcast on Sunday night full of wonderful insights and knowledge bombs about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, their win over the Bowling Green Falcons, and the upcoming rivalry game against the USC Trojans. Sadly... something happened. Without getting technical, something technical happened and the saved recording file is now lost to Tron and his ilk. It was an hour and 15 minutes of glory - and it's all gone. Sorry. You can listen to us actually say "sorry" in this short podcast. Sorry Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh, Jude, and Brad sit down to preview the upcoming game between the #10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and #18 Virginia Cavaliers. What actually happens is maybe not exactly that. Among the many things we talked about that had nothing (or very little) to do with the game: *More Georgia talk. *David Pollock. *Fake injury myths and the bullshit artists that spin them. *Cable TV delay. *Brady Quinn in the booth but actually in a studio. *The Boston College game. *Michigan analysis. *Jim Harbaugh's crutch. *SkyCam. *NBC as a puppet of Jack Swarbrick. *Probably more? I mean of course we talked about the upcoming game, like: *The offensive line. *Running the football. *What Chris Finke and Michael Young mean this week. *Probably not a word about Notre Dame's defense. *Virginia's linebackers. *Predictions. *And we went an hour without bringing up something that is probably important (and then Jude got mad). It was a different show - which is really saying something. Maybe don't rate and review this show.  GO IRISH! Le

Due to terrible schedules, Josh was unable to scream and rant on this podcast episode. Jude and Brad were joined by fellow OFDer and Georgia transplant, Bobby Norell.  GEORGIA RECAP - Accentuate the positive. What did you like? - Now to the negative. What didn't you like? - Why doesn't Notre Dame seem to win these types of games ever? - Look into the crystal ball. How does this impact Notre Dame's chances of making the CFP, if at all?

Josh is joined by fellow OFDers Pat Sullivan and Bobby Norell in an attempt to trash the Michigan Wolverines. The Notre Dame Fighting irish are just a little over two weeks away from its game against the Louisville Cardinals, but it's always a good time to stick it to those bastards up north. WARNING...

The OFD Podcast trio is back together for the first time in weeks, and we came together to put a bow on the Notre Dame football offseason - and kill it with fire. It's not like the offseason had all sorts of foolishness surrounding it - but with fall camp (in the summer) right around the corner... it's time to turn the page. So, we talk about a wide variety of things, but it gets real interesting when Jude (numbers person) and Josh (full heart can't lose guy) debate the Shamrock Series.  It was our last chance to lay the BS on thick, and we didn't fail [crosses fingers]. There is a tad bit more cussing than usual (just to give you a head's up). Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
