There is never a dull moment for the USC Trojans or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Trojans hosted new rival Utah while the Fighting Irish were on a well deserved bye. We obviously start with USC and another consecutive loss to the Utah Utes. Things look bleak in Trojan country. The team is in shambles and many fans are beside themselves. It is always darkest before the dawn and Michael is read...

Rivalry week is over. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans faced off over the weekend, and inevitably one of us is sad. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish dismantled the USC Trojans and secured a 48-20 victory in South Bend. The Notre Dame defense made the USC offense look ill prepared and generally inept. Caleb Williams has a tough time getting anything going, and without him the Trojans...

It is finally here, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the USC Trojans in the greatest intersectional rivalry in all of college football. Everyone is excited for the game this weekend. Well, excited might be an overstatement. All we can talk about is the questionable USC Defense and the ineffective Notre Dame offense. Who will give in? Who will exploit their opponent? In a shock to no one, neit...

It was a wild week for both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. We dive right into Notre Dame's loss to Louisville. It was another terrible performance for the Fighting Irish offense. Nothing worked and the plays that were called left much to be desired. Sam Hartman had 5 turnovers! It was a rough night all the way around for Notre Dame. When we switch to the Trojans all we could re...

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans were both victorious this past weekend, and yet both teams left many things to be desired. We start with some light housekeeping and Greg's new foray into other Notre Dame sports. Then we get right into the Trojans and their embarrassing win against Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes. It was another leaky sieve performance for the USC defense....

It was an exciting weekend for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans, so we start the podcast talking about Taylor Swift. That was sort of a joke and we do get right into Notre Dame losing at home to Ohio State in heartbreaking fashion. Greg is despondent as we add this loss to the list of big games where the Fighting Irish come up short. We try to figure out who to blame and if Notre...

The wins keep rolling in. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated the Central Michigan Chippewas this weekend, while the USC Trojans were on a bye. With only one of our vaunted teams playing last week we start with Notre Dame and their victory. It was another big and easy victory for the Fighting Irish. Sam Hartman has looked great and so has the rest of the offense. With this speed bump out of the...

The wins just keep on coming for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans.  Notre Dame beat NC State in a lightning storm, while USC beat the pants off Stanford. We start with the Fighting Irish and their electric win, and congratulate Greg for his great prediction about this game from the last episode. We talk Hartman, receivers, tight end touchdowns, Marcus Freeman, and more. We also re...

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans were both victorious this past weekend. Why would we get right into either team's winning ways, when we could start the pod by talking about the movie Rudy and Greg's unexpected thoughts on Rudy and his dad's relationship. When we finally get to football and Notre Dame's victory over FCS Tennessee State, there isn't really much to talk about. The F...

Football is officially back for the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Both teams had relatively easy Week 0 games. The Trojans beat a San Jose State team that scored a few too many points, while the Fighting Irish sunk Navy. We start with USC, and Greg repeating his questions from last week, asking if anything from the San Jose State game could sour Michael on the Trojans. Spoiler ale...

Football is finally here for both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans, and we start the 2023 season in the most logical place, beard talk. Michael firmly believes that a quarterback with a beard cannot win the national title. When we finally get to our respective teams, we discuss what exactly would be a successful season for Notre Dame and USC. The Trojans have higher aspirations th...

The upcoming college football season is finally here and has the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and USC Trojans gearing up for action, prompting us to release our season preview podcast.

Shifting gears, our focus turns to the Notre Dame team preview. Greg's enthu...

It may be the offseason for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans, but we are back with recap of the 2023 NFL Draft as it relates to the two schools. USC had the first pick of the night and the most picks over the three day event, but like most things Notre Dame USC things were pretty similar. After a draft rundown we talk a little about what the departing players mean for the teams. T...

Bowl season has come and gone with mixed results for both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. It was more of the same for the Trojans, lots of points on offense coupled with lots of points given up on defense. This loss was especially bad since USC had a seemingly insurmountable lead with 5 minutes left in the game against Tulane. This lackluster defense performance is probably the...

After a long hiatus with no games, it has still been an exciting time for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. Awards season was a giant success for the Trojans, while the Irish felt snubbed. There is transfer action for both USC and Notre Dame, with some exciting players tied to both schools. Early signing day came and went. The Trojans signed the top player in the class and Notre D...

It was a sad week for the USC Trojans and a mostly quiet week for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. We start with USC's Pac-12 Championship game loss against the Utah Utes. There are so many things to talk about after the Trojans' second loss to Utah this year, like what does this loss mean for Lincoln Riley's coaching resume, Riley's game management, should USC quarterback Caleb Williams continued t...

The greatest intersectional rivalry in all of sports is finally here. This past weekend was rivalry week and the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish played each other, with the Trojans earning their first victory over the Irish in a few years. Before we get into game action, Greg regales everyone with tales from the press box, and Michael talks about his viewing experience at home. As fo...

Rivalry week is finally here, but before we get to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. the USC Trojans we have to talk about the games from this past weekend. Notre Dame beat up on Boston College and USC beat cross town rival UCLA. We start with the game against Boston College. Greg was able to cheer on the Fighting Irish in person from the press box. It was a cold, but fun senior day, and a great t...

Its victory season on the podcast, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans just keep on winning. We start with the Fighting Irish and their win over Navy. Things started out great, but Notre Dame had to hang on to win. The triple option is always a bad time, and Greg thinks the series with Navy should be stopped. With Navy out of the way the Fighting Irish have their final home game of t...

The wins just keep on coming for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. Before we get into Notre Dame's dismantling of Clemson, we have to talk about Greg's constant trolling of Michael's beloved Trojans. Once pleasantries are restored, we all revel in seeing a sad Dabo and how the Fighting Irish beat up the Tigers. Notre Dame is rolling into the end of the season.  USC on the other ha...

It was a good weekend for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. Both teams secured victories, and made it a happy Halloween for Michael and Greg.  We start with holiday talk, discuss costumes and trick or treating, then get into Michael's forget full Saturday and let Greg gloat about his Arizona Wildcats and their potent offense. That leads into game talk. The Trojans successful third...

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish cruised to victory this weekend, while the USC Trojans were on a bye. It what seems like a low key week we find more than enough to talk about. Things start off on the melancholy side, with Michael still bummed over the Trojans loss to Utah. Though the season outlook hasn't changed much for USC, a lot of the fun has left the building. Before we shift to actual footbal...

It was a bad weekend for both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. However, a bad week on the football field makes a good week on the podcast. It's another freewheeling conversation, this time on both the schools' losses.  A perfect weekend for Trojan fans was ruined by Utah. USC just couldn't score enough points to get past the Utes. There was a similar problem for Notre Dame agains...

Another week of college football, another win for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. After eight seasons of podcasting, the Trojans are finally nationally relevant, and the media, including Greg, have been making unnecessary comparisons of Caleb Williams and the USC offense. The podcast starts with a rousing discussion about the Trojan offense and how they have performed over the s...

Another week of college football, another USC Trojans' victory. While the Trojans were busy winning the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were on their bye week. We start with USC's victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils. The office was rolling like usual, but the Sun Devils were able to keep the game relatively close. In the end Caleb Williams and the rest of the Trojan offense was just too hard to st...
