Joshua, Jude, and Brendan bust out of the insane asylum and run directly to the first pod machine they can find to talk about Notre Dame's horrific performance against the Louisville Cardinals and to preview the Battle of the Jeweled Shillelagh against the USC Trojans... which is to say that the trio took a moment but they're here now. In this episode: HELLO! Fun facts to start your day. An amazing major league baseball conversation. Was the Louisville game more like Miami in 2017 or Michigan in 2019? Either way... it ain't good. Louisville was UP for this game. Notre Dame and the Worf Effect. Picking apart many moments from the game, but the 4th and 11 from their own 35 felt like an assault. A list of coaching criticisms. Marcus Freeman, Chansi Stuckey, Joe Rudolph, and Gerad Parker are all targets. The Earned 5-Star Top 20. Brendan previews USC and it's all very comforting. Jeweled Shillelagh rants. The weather is coming. Game picks. Greg Flammang drops in to give his rankings and analysis (and to roast Jude mercilessly). Plus much more weaved in and out of the show.Please RATE and REVIEW!

Jude and Brad were unable to join Josh on the podcast this week, so we brought back Greg from UHND.com to put a bow on spring football.* Ian Book and what he sees on the field.* The bad look from the "touch" rules and red jerseys.* Alohi Gilman and Jalen Elliott are captains... announce it.* Just about every aspect of the linebacker situation involving Shayne Simon, Asmar Bilal, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, and Bo Bauer.* Questioning the amount of Jack Kiser mentions.* How ridiculously important Khalid Kareem, Julian Okwara, and well... that whole DE depth chart is to this team.* Our LOVE of the starting WR's in Chase Claypool, Chris Finke, and Michael Young.* Cole Kmet should be a bigger piece if Book can see him.And plenty more. We dove deep, and we had to cut some things a bit short or else this would be Dan Carlin like in stature. It was... two guys fighting off helicopters. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.
