“Been a loyal listener for 3 years and have learned a lot about frozen pizza, youth baseball in Hicksville (maybe the umpires ref ND games in the fall?), cellphone service at the JMA Wireless dome, and some serious resistance to reading Harry Potter.
My apologies for never leaving a review or 10. As a double domer family with both parents working, 3 kids with activities, and 2 dogs, we are in the thick of it.
I recall the moment when this podcast had me at “Hello”.
Was it when Brendan first starting doing the “this team is trash analysis”? One of my favorite bits during the season. . . Nope.
Was it when I first heard a prop bet episode and Jude called for Georgia Tech to score the most points on the Irish? One of the worst takes in history of takes, for which I give him credit for owning almost like a podcasting badge of courage, but no again.
Is it our Supreme Wardaddy well thought out and colorfully articulated weekly F-bomb laden rants about:
how the ACC is trash
refs are trash
and rankings are trash?
All correct takes, but another No.
Surprisingly, you had me on your winter Olympic takes. For three years after college I lived in Lake Placid, NY and got to know a number of winter athletes in the various sports. These people do incredible difficult things for the love of the sport and very little money. So it warmed my heart hear you guys geek out about this every 4 year spectacle. Especially when Jude threw in something about biathalon, an incredibly difficult discipline.
Major missed opportunity. It was awesome to see Homefield, homefieldapparel.com, come out with a Sam Hartman green shirt this week, just in time to deliver for the USC game!! However, Tell me why, after Big Dric eats a hot dog during a rain delay and then crushes an 80 yard score on the first play back from delay, that Jude & Wardaddy didn’t discuss or contact Homefield with the obvious “Big Dric Footlong” t-shirt? Make a green shirt and you would be selling thousands in the lead up to Ohio State. Feel free to use the tagline “Laying wood to the defense all season” How about a promotional Bachelor Party meme of Nick the D!ck (FYI Bachelor Party is Tom Hanks best movie, prove me wrong) also could see a “Who ordered the footlong?” From Dumb and Dumber with an Ohio State symbol. Boogie Nights? I don’t know you figure this out but make it happen.
Lastly I bring some requested future discussions on the pod for a bye week or off season pod:
A good friend of mine in college went down to Atlanta for Georgia’s first natty. He was at a bar pre-game and met JT Daniels’s parents. They mentioned that JT was all ready to sign with the Irish but shortly after his visit he met Kizer at a QB workout/camp as DeShone was getting ready for the draft. Kizer went off and told JT he would have chosen a different college after playing for Kelly. JT chose USC after that conversation. It’s a worthy exercise to unpack that situation from all sides.
The greatest QB and coach villians combo of college football all-time. Placed in graded tiers please.
Keep up the good work fellas. You fill my commutes with joy and happiness. . .
God bless & go Irish!
Parting shot:
I presently live in Chestnut Hill about a mile from BC’s campus. I liken it to Luke Skywalker and the Jedi temple on Ahch-to using a dark side anus hole to cover the light side energy. Don’t get me wrong, BC has the finest high school stadium in the Power 5, but I might be insulting high schools in Texas. I also use BC as a teaching point for my children. When they were little we drove by campus and one of my children asked, “What’s this place with all the buildings?” I responded, “That’s the place where you go if you don’t work hard in school. Most of them suffer from brain damage”. Since that day, my children get straight As.”
