In this OFF THE RAILS episode, Josh talks about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football recruiting effort - and specifically during the time of the coronavirus pandemic.

April 06, 2020OFD Podcast: Notre Dame's 1993 and 2005 football seasons were basically the same
The OFD Podcast spread the fun about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program all over on Sunday.
Josh and Jude talked with Greg Flammang from UHND ( @greg2126 on Twitter) about some thoughts he had after Saturday Night's game watch between the Irish and the Florida State Seminoles.
Greg lays out the crazy similarities between the 2005 and 1993 seasons
Stats are involved
Uwa has his mind blown, and Jude brings up other similar things from the past 25 years
Josh and Brendan then got together to lay the rest of the podcast out:
Reaction to Greg's theories
Brendan has a point of contention
We're swapping Notre Dame celebrities
Some Big "R" and Little "r" talk
The USC Trojans and a different future

April 03, 2020OFD BOOKCAST: Notre Dame's Frank Leahy was a crazy genius
The OFD Bookcast returns as we get deeper into Notre Dame's Greatest Coaches by Stephen Singular and Moose Krause. In this episode I discuss the next three chapters of the book which include:
Frank Leahy becoming the head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Frank's coaching style - a bit medieval
Changing greatness for MORE greatness
Moose's role in the Leahy regime
Why Frank is THE MAN
My bad attempt at an Irish brogue
Fear and respect, and the obsessiveness to winning
Straight up brawls
The 1992 loss to the Stanford Cardinal and Moose's response
And a little bit more weaved in and out. After recording, I really feel like I fell short of explaining the brilliant madness of Frank Leahy - which in the 1940's would have meant that Moose would be allowed to just hit me over and over again for like an hour. So... be sure to read the book.
