Sons of Saturday - Irish: A Notre Dame Football Podcast

The guys are back to recap Notre Dame’s 24-17 victory over the California Golden Bears. Winning is hard, but we finally got into the win column column. Tune in as we discuss the highs and lows of The Drew Pyne Experience, not being able to create turnovers on defense, improvements on the offensive and defensive lines, and ultimately, an Irish win. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe. 

The guys preview Notre Dame’s next matchup as they are set to host the Cal Golden Bears in Notre Dame Stadium. First, we break down some reasons you may not have thought of that we believe have contributed to Notre Dame’s 0-2 start. It starts with Pat Mulligan and ends with Brian Kelly. Then, break down everything you need to know about Cal on both sides of the ball before getting into some score predictions. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe. 

The guys are back. Notre Dame lost as a top-10 team to Marshall at home. Marcus Freeman is 0-3 as a head coach. We tried to talk about it. It was an exercise. Tune in if you need some therapy, too. 

The Guys are back to preview Notre Dame’s 2022 home opener against the Marshall Thundering Herd. They open the show with an impassioned attempt to reinstate faith in Tommy Rees and the offense, before letting you know all you need to know about the Thundering Herd. Finally, enjoy some banter about the rest of the college football world before the crew signs off. 

The guys react to Notre Dame’s loss to Ohio State in the season opener. While the loss was disappointing, there is still plenty on the table for the Irish and their expectations for the rest of the season haven’t changed. They break down why the offense struggled to move the ball, the impressive performance from the Irish secondary, and where the offensive & defensive lines can go from here.

The guys are back for the first game preview of the 2022 season. They’re joined by a great friend of the program, Ashton Pollard, formerly of blueandgold.com and On3. Notre Dame announced its captains for the 2022 season and released the two-deep depth chart since the last episode, and after reviewing the main takeaways from those announcements, they dive in to the match-up between the Fighting Irish and the Buckeyes by going over the keys to the game on offense and defense, as well as some under-the-radar difference makers that could have a big impact on the game. They close out the show with score predictions and a discussion about whether this would be the biggest win by Notre Dame in their lifetimes if they can pull off the upset.

The guys are back with a special edition episode. Join us for an exclusive interview with the new play-by-play host of Notre Dame Football on NBC, Jac Collinsworth, as we dig into his ties to Notre Dame, his relationship with Jason Garrett and his preparation in replacing a legend in Mike Tirico.

Tyler and Luke are back to recap the first full week of preseason camp alongside Tyler Horka, Notre Dame beat writer for blueandgold.com. We discuss the news everybody was waiting for all along - it will in fact be Tyler Buchner leading the Irish offense in Columbus as QB1. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bit of news from the past week. Avery Davis will miss the season with a torn ACL, leaving the Irish receiver room even more depleted. Tune in for Horka’s insight on how wide receiver coach Chansi Stuckey just might be the guy to handle that situation. In other news, Notre Dame starts the season at No. 5 in both the AP and Coaches poll. Jac Collinsworth and Jason Garrett have earned the privilege of calling home games for that top 5 ball club this fall. Tune in as we discuss all of this and more, and don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. 

The guys are back to preview Notre Dame’s 2022 Fall Camp. In exciting news, we’re expanding our social media footprint with a new YouTube channel. Make sure to watch and subscribe to the channel. In football news, we talk a little recruiting - both good and bad - as one of us implores our audience never to tweet at recruits. We then get into Fall Camp, which kicks off this Friday, August 5th. Join us as we get into the major storylines surrounding the Irish.
