The Earned 5-Star Podcast: A Notre Dame Podcast

Josh, Jude, and Brad sat down and recoded a beautiful podcast on Sunday night full of wonderful insights and knowledge bombs about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, their win over the Bowling Green Falcons, and the upcoming rivalry game against the USC Trojans. Sadly... something happened. Without getting technical, something technical happened and the saved recording file is now lost to Tron and his...

Josh, Jude, and Brad sit down to talk about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and their latest victory over the Virginia Cavaliers - as well as a little bit of chat about the Bowling Green Falcons.

Josh, Jude, and Brad sit down to preview the upcoming game between the #10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and #18 Virginia Cavaliers. What actually happens is maybe not exactly that. Among the many things we talked about that had nothing (or very little) to do with the game: *More Georgia talk. *David Pollock. *Fake injury myths and the bullshit artists that spin them. *Cable TV delay. *Brady Quinn in...

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are involved in another Top 25 matchup this weekend against the Virginia Cavaliers - and they could very well be the best team left on the schedule. I invited Caroline Darney to talk about the game this week. Caroline is an editor at Streaking the Lawn 9SBN's UVA site) as well as one of SBN's College League Managers (translation: BOSS).  A bit of what was discussed: *...

Due to terrible schedules, Josh was unable to scream and rant on this podcast episode. Jude and Brad were joined by fellow OFDer and Georgia transplant, Bobby Norell.  GEORGIA RECAP - Accentuate the positive. What did you like? - Now to the negative. What didn't you like? - Why doesn't Notre Dame seem to win these types of games ever? - Look into the crystal ball. How does this impact Notre Dame's...

Josh and Jude hit you with that DOUBLE J HOT SPICE for this week's preview for the big battle between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Georgia Bulldogs. We march along in a fairly erratic fashion - so here's some of the things we hit in no order at all BECAUSE CHAOS WILL WIN THIS THING! (This episode is heavier than usual with cuss words. Just wanted to let you know; that I noticed, kept goin...

Josh and Jude sit down to preview the upcoming game for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish... the dangerous New Mexico Lobos. *Jude actually did his homework and has quite a bit of information about New Mexico. *Bob Davie stealing our joy by not being in South Bend on Saturday. *Trash Michigan a little. *The second tier work of Notre Dame. *Brian Kelly is a BOSS. *We discuss the terrible new song from...

With the Notre Dame Fighting Irish rolling into week two of the college football season with a bye (what kind of bye is up to you), the OFD Podcast is running short on bodies but high AF with talent. Carter Karels from the South Bend Tribune joins Josh on the show to break down a wide variety of topics. *The cultural appropriation of Notre Dame football in the fast food industry. *The sad tale of...

Josh is joined by fellow OFDers Pat Sullivan and Bobby Norell in an attempt to trash the Michigan Wolverines. The Notre Dame Fighting irish are just a little over two weeks away from its game against the Louisville Cardinals, but it's always a good time to stick it to those bastards up north. WARNING... A little bit more than normal with the NSFW language. This ain't the family friendly episode yo...

Josh and Jude (Double J if you will) welcome Ty Hildenbrandt from the Solid Verbal Podcast to the show. Ty is a lifelong fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and we're giving him a chance to break from the shackles of a national show, to taste that sweet, sweet freedom of going full homer for an hour or so.

The OFD Podcast trio is back together for the first time in weeks, and we came together to put a bow on the Notre Dame football offseason - and kill it with fire. It's not like the offseason had all sorts of foolishness surrounding it - but with fall camp (in the summer) right around the corner... it's time to turn the page. So, we talk about a wide variety of things, but it gets real interesting...

Josh and Jude picked up the clock and threw into into the river. Instead of doing a 3 part Notre Dame football preview covering the schedule as planned... we trucked right through all 12 games and even into bowl season. It's a bit lengthy - sure. But it's still July and we all have a few weeks until fall camp that happens in summer - happens.  Game by game, we offer up score predictions and tell y...

We stay true to this show's name and go OFF THE RAILS for a few minutes. What if DeShone Kizer and Jaylon Smith had returned to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team for one more year in 2017? Technically, it could have happened. Would the Irish have beat the Georgia Bulldogs, Miami-Florida Hurricanes, and Stanford Cardinal that year? Would they have won a playoff game? Does this technicalit...

Josh is flying solo on the OFD Podcast today, so to keep from being lonely and to have a meaningful show... we brought back friend of the show, Greg Flammang from UHND.

In this OFF THE RAILS episode, we take a look at Notre Dame's 2020 recruiting class, and the almost complete lack of options moving forward. The Irish are at 17 commitments, and we think 20 is the number they are targeting - but where are those other 3 going to come from? Is it important, or is this something that the Irish roster is currently built to withstand? 2020 Commit List 2020 Scholarship...
