  • Sports beat

    The show is not the same without Eric Hansen the true Notre Dame football insider.

    I am sure I am not alone but I no longer listen.

    I have emailed the station manager. It’s a budget issue.

  • Awesome job guys

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past 9 years. During the Irish football season, there is no team better. Love the banter Eric and Darin (even when they disagree). Off season I don’t mind the talk about other ND sports or even local sports. I grew up in South Bend but haven’t lived there in years. Listening to these guys brings me back home. Thank you.

Q: What was the situation with Matty Augustine before his injury and how did it affect the competition for right guard?
Rudolph described Augustine as a strong competitor who was actively in the mix for the right guard spot, creating depth behind the presumed starters; his injury opens the door for Sullivan Absher or Ashton Craig to fill in and reshuffle the interior line.
Weekday Sportsbeat: Marcus Freeman Talks Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers And More
Q: What does QB2 look like going into camp with three other quarterbacks in the mix?
Freeman described an intentional practice structure to give meaningful reps to Noah Grubbs, Blake Hebert, and Teddy Gerard, with game-plan specific installs guiding weekly decisions on who starts or contributes at various points during the season.

Weekday Sportsbeat: Kaden Henderson Update And More Notre Dame Football Recruiting
Q: What was the latest on Kaden Henderson's decision and which programs were in the lead?
The latest: Henderson is expected to commit on the Pat McAfee show, with Texas A&M leading the pack and Notre Dame still pursuing aggressively, suggesting Notre Dame will stay in the fight regardless of the outcome.
