  • Best Notre dame podcast there is

    My wife recently suggested podcasts over the summer as I was was putting around the house. I didn’t find many great ones, however, I did find this one. The detail by actual recruiting experts, former football coaches, and reporters who have contacts at Notre Dane, all combine for the most information a Notre Dame fan can ask/hope for.

    If you care at all about the fighting Irish and how they do things, from a higher toe to than what you get on the telecast (which is not deep analysis and not me... more

  • Fluff

    If you’re looking for positive reinforcement and ultimate optimism about Irish football this is a great podcast with lots of new content and regular updates. If you want to hear honest opinions about what’s really going on and what would benefit the Notre Dame football team, other podcasts and other outlets are a better option. I certainly understand employees following the direction their supervisor gives in an effort for self and job preservation which is what this seems to have outside of Se... more

  • Finally hit my breaking point

    I had to stop listening to this podcast, which makes me sad because I spend a fair amount of time in the car and try to consume as much ND football related content as I can. I understand Bryan and Trevor don’t like Joe Rudolph, and he deserves criticism for the Miami game, which every other ND podcast has given him, but when they blame him for Amil Warner’s poor technique in getting turned around at the end of the Miami game I draw the line. It quits being analysis and starts becoming their axe ... more

  • The guys over at Irish Breakdown are top of the line. They go about doing things the right way and share their love and passion for Notre Dame football. They are straight forward and honest in their reporting and while any podcast of a specific team will have a bit of homerism, Bryan and the rest of the staff are usually pretty level headed not just on ND but any team they look into. They take the time to research opponents and the college football landscape, rather than just rely on generalitie... more
