Bald, Bold & Gold

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are the only team in the country to have 2 wins over currently ranked teams entering October. The handsomest podcasters in the whole universe team up to discuss the first month + of the season, the somewhat thrilling and sloppy win over Louisville, and whether Ryan Williams and Alabama are human beings or aliens.

The season is on the line this week and we needed to bring in a ringer. No, he has never played tackle football at the high school level or beyond, but he is an MBA Candidate. Come listen as Danny Felton takes our jumbled podcast and turns it into the menacing Cohort of the Correct Takes on Notre Dame Football. We address everything from how design thinking can be applied to college football progr...

A bit of a switch up this week! Ian was unable to join due to scheduling conflicts, but no worries BB&G fans -- we were able to plug the gap with our esteemed West Coast Correspondent, Jack Doyle. Jack joins Alex and Tom to recap the Irish handing Purdue the worst loss in their 130+ year history and take inventory of what this season could look like after a big bounce back. We take a spin arou...

So, the picture for the 2024 Notre Dame Fighting Irish looks a lot different than it did just 1 week ago. What the bleep happened? Who can we blame? Where do we go from here? Is Marcus Freeman The Guy? Is Riley Leonard.. The Guy? Who is The Guy? All that and more...

No better way to start the season than 1-0. All 3 members of your favorite podcast were down in College Station and will be giving you their first hand accounting of the Irish victory. Week 1 across CFB didn't lack for drama elsewhere, and the fellas hit on Brian Kelly, Clemson and FSU failures, and other top storylines. Get rich at the end!

Another year and the college football landscape has changed once again. From the new 12 team playoff, conference re-alignment, Riley Leonard, and Mike Denbrock, the guys are back once again to tell you everything you need to know about the 2024 edition of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Well, not much to report in the last week of ND Football other than the OC debacle, so we take a look at the college football landscape and playoff picture, coaching carousel, and preview the Titanic Tilt against the Demon Deacons.

Yikes... not what we wanted. Does last Saturday's performance leave an unremovable stain on the 2023 Irish season? Well, we may not really answer that, but we sure do love to record ourselves vent. Listen to plenty of that, and more (these guys will still make you money).

Must listen episode for any Irish fan. We were lucky enough to get our white whale, Colin Gutzmer on the pod for an awesome interview on his time on the Notre Dame football team. He tells us stories of what it was like to play for Marcus Freeman as well as Brian Kelly, his favorite moments, and gives his perspective as a former signaler on the Michigan cheating scandal. Of course, we also recap a...

What a Saturday in South Bend. The fellas recap the blowout over the Trojans, give a great overview of the ever-evolving college landscape this season, and help you make money at the end (seriously, you should really start listening to Dono and Ian, no offense Tom).

The once promising 2023 season has unfortunately flipped upside down after a dark Saturday night in Bourbon country. What went wrong? What's next for the Fighting Irish Program? Is Marcus Freeman on the hot seat? Tune in to find out.

A win is a win. Was it pretty? Nope, but this episode is. Andrew Zaback joins us for this one as we recap the (unnecessary?) comeback against Duke and preview the matchup with Louisville.

If you're reading this, you know what happened last Saturday. Come join the fellas for one last venting session before we move on to face the Duke Blue Devils in another night game.

We are finally here. Sure, watching the Irish start the season 4-0 was a treat, but this is the game everyone had circled to start the year. Danny Felton joins the usual crew to give a Big 3 Consultant's analysis on the upcoming Saturday night showdown against Ohio State in South Bend. Of course, we also recap the CMU victory, and outline the best way to line your pockets with cash at the end.

Johnny Pops? Yup, we got him. The Brother's HOF server joins us on the pod as we discuss his Notre Dame fandom, last weekend in college football, and of course, the 45-24 victory over the NC State Wolfpack. If you know Johnny P, you surely know of his gambling prowess, so stay tuned until the end for his locks of the week.

The fellas are finally back from overseas. Get everything you need to know on the first real test for the Irish as well as the (limited) takeaways from 2 blowout victories. Of course, there's a full college football gambling slate ahead this week, so tail us at your own risk.

Welcome. Back. Your favorite podcasters have finally gotten over their spat about "The Gap" and are back for ~the real~ season 3 of Bald, Bold, & Gold. This episode is absolutely loaded with everything you need to know about the college football landscape, the 2023 edition of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and this week's upcoming matchup against the Navy Midshipmen.

Pretty self explanatory title -- we're back for season 3 previewing the Fighting Irish and this weekend's top 5 matchup. Enjoy!

We have reached a crossroads in the Notre Dame football program. The Marcus Freeman era truly begins this Saturday against Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl. We preview the best team Notre Dame has played since Cincinnati, what the Irish need to do to win their first BCS / NY6 Bowl since.. 1993, and what we are looking for out of Marcus Freeman on the sideline. Of course, with bowl season in full...

In case you missed it... a lot has happened in the last 48 hours for Notre Dame. Everything you need to know is right here.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. What goes better with Thanksgiving than a trip out West for the Irish. After a nearly flawless performance against GT, Dono, Ian, and Tom recap the 55-0 beatdown before previewing Stanford. Of course, we all know that the real story surrounding the Irish is whether they will make the playoff. We discuss any and every possible scenario that will get the Irish into the p...

We are.. halfway through November? Another football season has flown by and the playoff picture is finally taking shape with the Irish still somehow involved. You want to know how we can make it in to the field of 4? Well, give this pod a listen. Of course, the fellas talk about the entirety of what happened last week in CFB (Texas, lol), recap the blowout of UVA, and in a special segment reflect...

College Football. We love it because it makes no sense, right? The beauty of the sport is that you never really know what is going to happen. Well, except when it comes to Notre Dame for the most part over the last 4+ seasons. We discuss both the easy and meticulous win over Navy and the upcoming game against a high-powered UVA offense. Lots of points coming this week.. Oh yeah, back to the part a...

Welcome to the Kyren Williams appreciation episode! Only kind of kidding. While we do talk about the star running back and what he means to this Irish team, we would be doing you all a disservice by only talking about that. We recorded right after the first CFP rankings of the season were released, and oh boy did we have a lot to say. And we're not even that mad about the Irish! Of course, we reca...

A beautiful day will inevitably lead to a beautiful podcast. That's the saying, right? Either way, all 3 of your favorite Notre Dame media members made it back to God's lot to cheer on the Irish as they handily beat up on Southern Cal.  And guess what, they had plenty of time on Sunday to watch the extended highlights from the other games around the country, so we recap that for you as well. Of co...
