The Earned 5-Star Podcast: A Notre Dame Podcast

Sono onorato e grato che tu mi abbia invitato al matrimonio di tua figlia... il giorno del matrimonio di tua figlia. E spero che il loro primo figlio sia un bambino maschile. Prometto la mia fedeltà infinita.

You guys have perfected the “sports bar hang” style of podcast and have great knowledge of the game. I am a diehard ND fan but learn constantly from you guys, also appreciate the convos about other ND sports… now onto the important stuff. After 37 years of heartbreakingly wonderful fandom, I will finally be seeing ND in person in Notre Dame Stadium, taking on Virginia! Bringing some friends who are also college football nerds for 3 days, Fri-Mon, staying in town. For the umpteenth time, I am asking you to share advice on must do’s for possibly a once in a lifetime visit (live out west). Only ask for the true highlights as I don’t want to crowd or overwhelm the trip. Also need tips for tailgates, places to eat, and where to watch NFL on Sunday. Our Lady of the Lake, bless us. Thanks in advance and GO IRISH! I don’t eat frozen pizza and have nothing left in the tank.

Love the show fellas! Keep up the great work. I have a few “finally” items to bring up. First, we FINALLY saw the Riley Lenard we thought we were getting this past Saturday against The Cardinal. If we can continue to see the improvements, the team stays healthy and we see this version of Riley Lenard, we’ll be in good shape. Second, I read Josh’s article on the rivalry trophies and couldn’t agree more. We FINALLY see some semblance of pettiness by drinking from the trophy. As college football heads towards being NFL lite (as you mentioned), I hope we don’t lose the pettiness we all love (i.e. the stupid Purdue drum from a couple of years ago). Stay petty my friends! Lastly, my wife was out of town a few weeks ago so I FINALLY got to try Homerun Inn pizza for the first time. Love, love, love it! Thanks for the recommendation! Keep up the great work you guys do! Go Irish!

Reviewing again because it’s needed. 5 Stars. How is this possible? I had no idea that ND was filming a season of M.A.S.H. We have more stricken humans than skid row, downtown Portland, and Detroit combined. This turf has to go. I have no idea how to do it, but if they want to pay me $50k a year, I will work 12 hours a day and keep the grass pristine. Love the POD, stay professional.
