This is probably my favorite college football podcast. They dive into some of the more technical things about football instead of surface level stuff. This is a good podcast for fans that have a football background beyond just playing. Only downside is would say is Bryan sometimes dominates the conversations. But ultimately I respect everyone’s opinions on Notre dame topics here, even if I don’t agree with them.

Ostermann is described as “a political scientist who studies state capacity, law and regulatory compliance,” but she has also placed much energy in recent years to promoting abortion and to denigrating those who oppose it.

These guys are so convinced they are right about EVERYTHING. One guy was a low level D3 assistant and the other guy was a HS JV coach. This show opined that ND should move All American, Nagurski Award winning safety X Watts. back to WR. and Phil Jurkovec (BC & Pitt QB Wash out) should have been QB1 over Ian Book.

Feisty, data-driven breakdowns of Notre Dame football coupled with wide-ranging college football hot takes. Episodes routinely dive into player evaluations, recruiting momentum, offensive/defensive schematics, and coaching decisions, often comparing Notre Dame to national rivals. A standout is the granular film- and roster-analysis from former coaches and analysts, along with timely recruiting updates and NIL implications that appeal to serious football fans, analysts, and industry listeners who want more than surface-level commentary. The show also features long-form discussions on strategy and program-building, with occasional guest interviews that broaden the perspective beyond Notre Dame's campus headlines.
