Customer Reviews
They are who we thought they were!
And we let em off the hook! Transfer QBs at ND are overpaid and underperforming.
It’s a long one, and I did it for you to make up for the lack of reviews you’ve been getting lately. Take your time reading it. You know what? Read it twice if it makes you feel better about the listeners’ fingers being broken lately.
Would you rather have Shane Falco at quarterback, or Eddie Martel? Because that’s what we’re doing here with everyone clamoring for Riley Leonard to start over Steve Angeli.
What’s it going to take to win? Heart. Miles and miles of heart. Nobody has heart like Angeli diving to the pylon to win a meaningless spring game. He sees that red pylon and he goes after it like a bull. Not to mention he never complained when he rode the bench behind a lacrosse player and a guy with a sad Christmas tree for a last name. Now he’s supposed to sit behind a guy that gets hit by Howard Cross, and can’t WALK it off? After Angeli gave Notre Dame a Tony the tigers sun bowl victory over OSU? Let’s not forget a transfer QB has never won a bowl game for ND, especially not one over OSU in a bowl game.
My point? Transfer QBs are trash in disguise. The beat writers hype them up and put all the lipstick they can on these pigs just for them to be...well, pigs. All the experts said “Ian Book isn’t an elite QB. If he was maybe ND wins playoff games” but also said “Sam Hartman is an elite QB” and ALSO said “if Ian Book starts against Ohio state/Louisville/Clemson ND probably wins that game.” You can’t tell me Angeli doesn’t have a little Ian Book in him. He has also been with this team for 3 years, Riley won’t practice with the team until 3 weeks before the season starts. Neither of these guys are NFL QBs, so let’s stop treating them like they are, no matter how much Eddie Martel got paid to WALK away from Duke.
Angeli knows the offense, he knows the team, he knows how to navigate up and down stairs before the spring game, and he has a Brendan peanut butter Angeli time meme burned into all our hearts. Which by the way, huge miss by the students that design “the shirt” to not put that on there to actually sell 10 times more than they usually do while getting Angeli some NIL money on the side. At least the shirt is peanut butter colored.
Angeli should start, Leonard should be a fine backup. Because if we’re being honest, Angeli, with a 221.4 QB rating with a 77.3% completion percentage, was better than Hartman, and is miles and miles of heart better than Leonard’s sad 116 QB rating and 57.6% completion percentage.
PS. Same thing for kickers. Just go recruit a kicker. I’d rather have 4 years of Yoon or Doerer or Brindza than 1 year of “Awww WHY ARE WE TRYING A FIELD GOAL! WE KNOW This guy is stinky!” Every time that guy with a huge leg misses one by 20 yards to the right and 20 yards up into the stands. Burn the scholarship or two going for a solid consistent kicker. It’s not worth playing with fire in the portal every year. I have hopes for Mitch Jeter but he’s not making any game winning field goals against V Tech with laser pointers in his eyes.

Your average 5 star review
Love the content. You’re my podcast to listen to while drinking in the garage. I wanted to quickly defend “the shirt”.
Several weeks ago I was wearing the 2023 shirt at my local grocery store. I wear “The Shirt” pretty often on the weekends especially if I’m doing yard work. As i’m paying for my groceries the very cute girl working cashier asked me about my shirt and said it was cool. As much of a middle aged, married, father of two I am, I’m also still the same dorky teenager who’s afraid of girls. Suffice to say it’s now my favorite of “the shirts”.
As fellow dads and husbands you guys are super relatable and make me want to be even more of an advocate in my kids lives like Josh “hang the banner!” Vowels.
Seriously love everything you do. If there’s room for a question- what’s the oldest item of clothing you guys own?
Sorry for the long review. Go Irish!
