Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back together to preview this week's fun between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Navy Midshipmen. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back on the rise after last week’s dominating victory over the Clemson Tigers. The win took the Irish from being unranked in the College Football Playoff rankings to #20, and it also provided a path to a good season (double digit wins) when mediocrity was all that seemed possible. The Irish look to continue to rise this week with its annual game against the Navy Midshipmen. Notre Dame is back on the road, where despite any other troubles this season, they have been an incredibly good team. It’s another NOONER! Please RATE and REVIEW!

While we strive for a thorough discussion of Notre Dame Football on the OFD Podcast, every once in a while I forget to inject a crazy thought here and there (I know - how is that even possible?). This is what the Off The Rails Show is built for. In this episode, I want to kick around a thought exercise that I kind of mentioned in this week's OFD Podcast. What if Notre Dame's football schedule this year would have had Marshall and Ohio State flipped around? Would wee think anything differently than we do right now? Would the results from the two games be different? Is there any glimmer of hope for the 2022 season? Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple Podcasts will be read on the next OFD Podcast.

With a college football program as long and as storied as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, there are an incredible number of dates and games that are talked about year after year. Whether it’s a day of great joy like in October 1988 against the Miami Hurricanes, or a few months later when the Irish took down the West Virginia Mountaineers — these are days of great joy that are celebrated all the time by the fanbase and the university. On the flipside there are the days that were gut-wrenching like in November of 1993 against the Boston College Eagles or the theft that was the 1991 Orange Bowl against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back in the podcast machine for another round of Notre Dame football schedule madness. In this episode:

HELLO!

The most controversial tweet of the week.

Diving into the announcment that Notre Dame will host Tennessee State in 2023.

Notre Dame botched the announcement by allowing 24 hours to pass until a really good press conference.

A lot of the Twitter takes were bad because certain assumptions were made.

Basically... your real issues with Notre Dame's schedule are because of Navy whether you realize or not.

Putting things into actual perspective (we hope).

2023's schedule is more interesting than you actually know - it's full of villains and henchmen and fun times.

Ending the year in California is stupid. Please stop.

Iowa Preflight is always on our minds.

October weather in South Bend,

Brian Kelly keeps showing his ass.

We breakout the SEC schedules.

A new defensive tackle from the Ivy.

We are going OFF THE RAILS here as we continue to prep for another OFD Podcast during the spring football season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I made some very strong comments about Brian Kelly's tenure at Notre Dame a few weeks ago. A lot of that stems from a topic I've had on my mind for a while... what is the most interesting decade in Notre Dame Football history? The most interesting doesn't have to be the best or the worst even though they can definitely can be for any individual out there. What's the decade that draws you in with good vibes, or insanity, or rage, or whatever? Take a quick listen to the podcast episode in the player below, and give me your thoughts. Do you agree?

There is an extraordinary amount of NIL related stuff that I and plenty of Notre Dame fans still don't fully comprehend. It's okay! The world of NIL is an extremely messy and complicated thing, and it can make even those with a deep understanding of collegiate athletics scratch their heads. It's why I asked Matt Brown to come on the show and talk to us about all of this. Matt is the publisher of the Extra Points Newsletter, host of the Going for Two Podcast, fellow Homefield Apparel lover, Ohio State alum, and definitely maybe the guy behind the Notre Dame went 4-8 memes. He's also completely devoted to the behind the scenes action of athletic departments around the country, and offers us a clearer look into what is happening all over the country - which certainly impacts Notre Dame. Take a listen as Matt explains what NIL is supposed to be, how it is actually working right now, the future of NIL, and maybe some things that might put the minds of Notre Dame fans at ease - at least a little bit.

Welcome to another episode of the Off The Rails show on the OFD Podcast. We are all gearing up for the first season of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football under Marcus Freeman - which means comparisons will be made. We are all aware of the 3rd year prophecy for Notre Dame football coaches - if they are going to win a national championship, the third year is when it's going to get done. While that's all well and good (and maybe an outdated thing) what about the other side of that prophecy? What does a non-title year mean for the head coach and for Notre Dame? I take a quick look back at the last 100 years to see what a non-title year might mean. Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple Podcasts will be read on the next OFD Podcast. Go Irish!

On this Off The Rails episode on the OFD Podcast, I continue the tradition. Before spring football in 2020 (or what we had of it) I did a “big-little” preview for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Merry Christmas! Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are taking a little bit of a breather this week, but we decided to once again RE-GIFT a fantastic episode for all of you Notre Dame Fighting Irish fans to enjoy. Now it’s a tradition. Christmas Eve marks the 13th anniversary of Notre Dame’s 49-21 win over the Hawaii Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl. Not only was it a tremendously fun game to watch, but it also finally ended Notre Dame’s bowl losing streak that stretched back to their last win in January of 1994. We sat down to watch a one-hour cut-up of the game and this is the podcast... us commenting all the way through. In fact, there are two versions of this podcast. This one has the game sound with it to follow along, and the other version has no game sound - which can be found by searching the OFD Podcast. The one with no game sound is available so that you can watch a video of the same version of the game while listening to us riff all over it. That YouTube link IS RIGHT HERE. We hope you enjoy whatever version you choose (why not both?) and from everyone, over at One Foot Down, have a bright and loving holiday season. Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices.

The cat is out of the bag and the new college football playoff model that includes 12 teams is all but assured moving forward. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will certainly be included in this new format, but for the first time, their access is not on the same level as the other blue blood programs. So let's talk about it. Let's talk about what this is, and more importantly, what it isn't. Basically... do you understand how tournament/playoff systems work? This isn't a hot take machine.

Moose was comically giddy to see practice after a loss.

Joe Moore was talked about quite a bit - but not nearly enough.

Merry Christmas! Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are taking a little bit of a breather this week, but we decided to RE-GIFT a fantastic episode for all of you to enjoy. Christmas Eve marks the 11th anniversary of Notre Dame's 49-21 win over the Hawaii Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl. Not only was it a tremendously fun game to watch, it also finally ended Notre Dame's bowl losing streak that stretched back to their last win in January of 1994. We sat down to watch a one hour cut-up of the game and this is the podcast... us commenting all the way through. In fact, there are two versions of this podcast. This one has the game sound with it to follow along, and the other version has no game sound - which can be found by searching the OFD Podcast. The one with no game sound is available so that you can watch a video of the same version of the game while listening to us riff all over it. That YouTube link IS RIGHT HERE. We hope you enjoy whatever version you choose (why no both?) and from everyone over at One Foot Down, have a bright and loving holiday season. Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices.

There's no way of getting around the coronavirus when we talk about the upcoming season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and college football as a whole. One of the biggest things that will be gone in 2020 - other than a game against the USC Trojans - is the college football culture that we have come to know and love and embrace in our lifetime. Here's 30 minutes of me explaining that thought and what it means to me. In the show I begged for your thoughts about it all and I do that again... let me know what you think about this.

The game versus the Wisconsin Badgers is now cancelled with the news that the Big 10 is moving to a conference-only football schedule for the 2020 season. It has many fans wondering what might happen with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After a brief appearance to just argue with Jude (basically) Joshua had to bounce back into a burning hellhole. Brendan and Seymour took on the task to discuss the matter at hand in much more depth. There's a lot going on right now, but until all the Power 5 Conferences make a decision, these predictions are mostly projections - for now. Please rate and review!

On this OFF THE RAILS episode, I wanted to make sure that everyone knew my true feelings abut the Notre Dame Fighting Irish rivalry situation. I'm fairly certain that many of you were throwing a wee bit of a fit this week.

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back at it - as we all seem to be around this time each year. It's the offseason, so of course there's an article or podcast or radio bit or television broadcast that trips over itself to question Notre Dame's Independence. In doing so, it usually triggers a response from fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and we step in to help with that conversation. In this episode:

We take on Chris Childers' takes from the Full Ride.

We are moving forward with Notre Dame's Greatest Coaches by Steven Singular and Moose Krause - even if that means in a different way. After some bad takes, I finally decided to just read chapters 12 and 14. Within those chapters, we get a reveal about Ara and his particular coaching style. There was a tremendous amount of intensity that Parseghian put out, but it was controlled and used for singular purposes. Hear how Ara's determination to win lead to innovations for him as a coach that ultimately lead to a lot of victories for Notre Dame. There's also some very flowery language about the University of Notre Dame, the football program, and a call to violence.

Frank Leahy becoming the head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Frank's coaching style - a bit medieval

My bad attempt at an Irish brogue

Dick Rosenthal is basic, but that's okay

How Moose got his name - both of them

Moose's first year at Notre Dame and his temper

Some stuff about a guy named Knute Rockne

That Rockne guy made people cry - like A LOT.

And some other good stuff weaved in and out. Please rate and review (mostly on the actual OFD Podcast) and leave some comments on the post for this episode on One Foot Down. I'd love to know what you would like me to dive into with these bookcast episodes, and if you think I'm doing a fine job - well it's always nice to hear a kind word or two. Go Irish!

Josh (uwa), Jude, and Brendan are ready for some real social distancing by talking about some of the greatest Notre Dame Fighting Irish football heroes of all-time. We all need an escape, and we're here to help. In this episode (without actual names to spoil it)...

2002 was just incredible if you think about it

Notre Dame's dominance over the United States Military

So much Sparty shade

Ghosts

Thick thighs

The best breakfast for public transportation

There's a lot in this episode to digest

On this OFF THE RAILS episode, Josh talks about the recent news about the unhappiness of the USC Trojans and their life with the PAC-12.

Should the Trojans join the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in football independence?

Would this move benefit the Irish?

Is this something the Trojans can actually pull off?

How would this work?

How does NBC fit into this?

Will any of this actually happen?

Josh, Jude, and Brendan jump into a phone booth and dial up another podcast for Notre Dame Fighting Irish glory - EXCELLENT (here ends the Bill & Ted references). In this episode:

NON-football talk because Women's lacrosse is awesome.

Irish hockey and basketball has some work to do.

Pete Thamel's latest article about Brian Kelly and what it means.

Talking hypotheticals and in doing so... well we jump all over the spacetime continuum so much that Doc Brown drives a Thomas the Train power wheel off of a bridge. WARNING: Some talking over in all its might.

NFL Combine talk - mostly concerning Chase Claypool, Troy Pride Jr., Chris Finke, Khalid Kareem. Julian Okwara, and Tony Jones Jr. At no point did we ever mention Cole Kmet.

And other things weaved in and out for Jean-Claude Van Damme would find just cause to haul us in.

On this OFF THE RAILS episode, Josh goes through the position groups to help set up spring football for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Josh is joined by Carter Karels, the South Bend Tribune recruiting Insider. Karels was down at the All-American Game in San Antonio, and CROOTIN is on the mind. I didn't mean for the entire podcast to be about recruiting, but it was a really good conversation. In this episode we discuss:

Merry Christmas! We know there is a lot going on this week with the holidays and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish still have that Camping World Bowl date against the Iowa St. Cyclones - but we have something a little special to give to you. Christmas Eve marks the 11th anniversary of Notre Dame's 49-21 win over the Hawaii Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl. Not only was it a tremendously fun game to watch, it also finally ended Notre Dame's bowl losing streak that stretched back to their last win in January of 1994. We (Josh, Jude, and Brendan) sat down to watch a one hour cut-up of the game and this is the podcast... us commenting all the way through. In fact, there are two versions of this podcast. One has the game sound with it to follow along, and one version has no game sound. The one with no game sound is available so that you can watch a video of the same version of the game while listening to us riff all over it. That YouTube link IS RIGHT HERE. We hope you enjoy whatever version you choose (why no both?) and from everyone over at One Foot Down, have a bright and loving holiday season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh and Jude were joined by Brendan to talk about the firing of Chip Long by Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and we speculate (with care) about the possible rise of Tommy Rees. The conversation stayed amazingly on topic for most of the episode, but this is a something that is a little more complicated than what lies on the surface. (Seems like there is A LOT of stuff here). They don't claim to have all of the answers here, and in fact, they probably raise more questions that need to be answered. It is what it is. A few of the non Long/Rees/Kelly topics:

John Shannon

Todd Lyght

A wee bit of recruiting

We continue to ask that you consider giving to one of these fine charities this holiday season. Each one is organized by one of our fellow Notre Dame Twitterati members, and a great way to get those awesome feels during the Christmas season.

Airing of grievances... we list the many wrongs the AP and CFB Playoff committee have committed with the Irish over the last six weeks. We really dug deep here and yeah... the Irish got hosed.

Feats of Strength... we shed some positive light on this years team and the situation they find themselves in.

Josh and Brendan are in the Christmas spirit and that means Christmas movies are flying into the VCR/DVD/Blu-Ray Players and streaming services. The best Christmas movies have iconic villains, and so here we are with an internet connection and a microphone talking about some of the biggest villains for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the last 30 years. Josh is 41 and Brendan is 35, so no... we ain't talking about Anthony Davis - although the USC Trojans are well represented. We obviously didn't get to ALL of them, and the lightning round at the end made us crazy since some of them are MASSIVE Irish villains and they were relegated to just a quick mention. Even after that, there is still a LONG list of villains unmentioned.

This weekend's game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Boston College Eagles is going to be a weird one (at least visually). NBC is offering up what amounts to be a "homer broadcast" on NBSCN, and word is that they will be celebrating Doug Flutie's Hail Mary against Miami at halftime. Seriously. Something else has bothered me for a few months about this game, and it's something that I've already put out there into the universe. Why is Notre Dame wearing 1988 throwbacks to celebrate 150 years of college football? Why aren't they celebrating Frank Leahy - especially given the ties to BC and Under Armour?

Josh welcomes very good friend of the podcast, Greg Flammang from UHND.com. Throughout the show we both try to talk about the upcoming game against the Virginia Tech Hokies - but we kept circling back to the Michigan game. It's hard to know where the Notre Dame Fighting Irish really are right now, so it gets a little messy with a discussion that touches a lot of different things. The future of this season is also talked about in great length. What these last 5 games mean, and what constitutes a "good season." The recording is a little off from the usual. Josh was at a different location and on equipment that he normally doesn't use. The dedication should be noted. Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Josh sat down for an OFF THE RAILS episode, and it's kind of a grab bag of a show. There are rants, opinions, and declarations - and might actually make some sense if you turn the lights down low, put a dope beat on in the background, and crack open a dozen PBR's (which would be incredible for 30 minutes). The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have the Virginia Tech Hokies in just a few days... so we kind of need to get over our butts hurting and move forward.

Stats that matter and those that don’t coming into Saturday’s game.

Michigan’s preseason strengths haven’t materialized.

Turnover margin is a real strength this year for Notre Dame.

The damage that past Michigan games have done to Irish fans’ psyches.

Betting line at Michigan -1. Does that feel right?

Why this game might play out like the last time Notre Dame played a ranked team in the state of Michigan.

More specifically this week (and it really only has to be this week) the rivalry trophy with the USC Trojans... The Jeweled Shillelagh. Why doesn't Notre Dame bring this thing to the field to be won or lost? Why are they so casual about the trophy? Brian Kelly is running around at every chance he gets to talk about the trophy, and it has been promoted heavily with the trophy case and other videos showing the thing off - so why not let the student body get a little taste? WHY ARE WE CONTENT WITH HAVING THE MAIN IMAGE OF THIS STICK ON THE INTERNET BE OF CARSON PALMER HOISTING IT UP IN TRIUMPH AFTER THRASHING THE IRISH? Shouldn't we want more from this? I think so - and will never stop saying as much (and more probably). Please rate and review y'all! Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 ilk. It was an hour and 15 minutes of glory - and it's all gone. Sorry. You can listen to us actually say "sorry" in this short podcast. Sorry Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Some stuff in here: Stadium experience against Virginia. The monster that is Julian Okwara. Awesome linebackers flipping the script. Ian Book's performance and awareness issues. Josh refuses to pronounce Phil Jurkovec's name the way Jude wants. Some Chris Finke angst. Mad love for Tony Jones Jr. and his big day. Shaun Crawford's bad luck and heartbreak. We kind of trash Bowling Green's performance this season. HUGE spread. *There was laughter. As well as all sorts of other "stuff" mixed into the show. Please subscribe, rate, and review you guys!

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 booth but actually in a studio. The Boston College game. Michigan analysis. Jim Harbaugh's crutch. SkyCam. NBC as a puppet of Jack Swarbrick. Probably more? I mean of course we talked about the upcoming game, like: The offensive line. Running the football. What Chris Finke and Michael Young mean this week. Probably not a word about Notre Dame's defense. Virginia's linebackers. Predictions. And we went an hour without bringing up something that is probably important (and then Jude got mad). It was a different show - which is really saying something.

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.

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 Chuck E Cheese, and the deeper sadness he brings. KFC's slick move into the chicken war with the nuclear option. Why the movie Rudy is the real, best, and only Rudy. Some thoughts about Notre Dame's win over Louisville and how things look moving forward. A little inside baseball with heat. Why Notre Dame refuses to use its speed (or looks to do so on purpose anyway).

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...

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 when Jude (numbers person) and Josh (full heart can't lose guy) debate the Shamrock Series. It was our last chance to lay the BS on thick, and we didn't fail [crosses fingers]. There is a tad bit more cussing than usual (just to give you a head's up). Go Irish!

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 you how confident we actually are in those predictions. Along the way: The Louisville Cardinals and tricky openings. The New Mexico Lobos and a proper spanking. The Georgia Bulldogs and OH MY. Are the Virginia Cavaliers a real trap? The Bowling Green Falcons and Satan. How can the rivalry with the USC Trojans be great with another beatdown? MASSIVE disagreement with the Michigan Wolverines. The trouble with the Virginia Tech Hokies. Revenge and the Duke Blue Devils. Oh look, the Navy Midshipmen. The Boston College Eagles on senior day. Breaking the streak against the Stanford Cardinal. *An interesting bowl game?

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 technicality prove that Notre Dame may be closer to greatness than detractors would lead you to believe? It's a crazy thought - but it's like 105 degrees outside, so this is what happens.
