One Foot Down: For Notre Dame Fighting Irish Fans

Josh, Jude, and Brad are back for another OFD Podcast and this week... it's all about VERSUS MODE.

ALSO... We are very sorry about the sound quality this week. We couldn't tell while recording, but Josh's internet connection was basically trash. He did not turn into a demon at several points during the show - the recording just dipped down for the connection. Again, we do apologize and are taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again (basically Josh is going to go TF off on his internet provider on Monday). Thanks! Learn mo
