  • Patience/friendliness

    If Tyler mocked the fans a little less that would be great. I get it, fans can be, well, FANatic, and you get tired of it, but they are also why you can have a podcast. So, show your frustration with them/us a little less. Thanks.

  • The opposite of hard hitting

    This podcast is the opposite of hard hitting. They offer fluffy non critical analysis. They did the same when Kelly was the coach. They only got “tough” on Kelly after Kelly left for LSU. Irish Sports Daily and Irish Breakdown and more hard hitting and really tell you how things are.

Football Never Sleeps: No. 1 Miami is coming to town. Will Notre Dame meet the moment?
Q: Are we prepared to stop the running game?
Hansen and James expect Notre Dame to be capable against Miami's backs, but stress that the passing threat can make the run game harder to contain and that linebackers must cover backs out of the backfield.
Football Never Sleeps: No. 1 Miami is coming to town. Will Notre Dame meet the moment?
Q: How big of a loss is Bowen? What does the Irish need to do to make up for it?
Hansen says Bowen's leadership, versatility and understanding of the defense will be missed, but Villamuasa's return gives Notre Dame another experienced linebacker and eases the impact.
Third & Gold: Jack Soble on Notre Dame's BYU fallout and the issues that must be addressed
Q: What is your level of confidence that Marcus Freeman is going to figure this out?
Soble says his confidence is high because the BYU loss gives Freeman, the coordinators and players a clear opportunity to learn from correctable mistakes and use the setback as a wake-up call.
