Wake Up the Echoes Notre Dame Athletics

It's been a wild first season of Wake Up the Echoes, Fighting Irish Fans! We can't believe we're at the season finale, either. Thank you for sticking around as we welcomed new faces, honored legendary ones, discussed big ideas, reminisced on coldest moments, and answered your burning questions. Here's to putting a bookmark right at the end of this episode for next year, just we know where we left off. We'll see you next season!

The University of Notre Dame will welcome elite international club soccer competition when England’s Chelsea FC and Scotland’s Celtic FC face off on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at Notre Dame Stadium. So naturally, Wake Up the Echoes welcomed two Legends on the show to talk about the "friendly" matchup. Speaking of legends, who better to send off our women's basketball team into March Madness than the clutch National Champion Arike Ogunbowale. This episode wraps up Coach Ivey's first season on WUTE, but that's only because she has some dancing to do!

We've officially entered March, and Notre Dame Men's Basketball hitting its stride at the perfect time. Micah Shrewsberry makes a compelling case (not that we need convincing) for Markus Burton to be ACC Rookie of the Year. A legendary Swan makes an appearance, and we're graced with his presence - and financial literacy & planning advice. Speaking of the future, tournament time is about to begin, and there's no better time for the Irish to be heating up.

Join us as we commemorate 16 remarkable years with the iconic Jack Swarbrick, the visionary University Vice President and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics. In this exclusive and heartfelt episode, we delve into the extraordinary legacy crafted by our fearless leader. Prepare to be captivated by untold tales, cherished memories, and the profound impact Swarbrick has left on the Notre Dame community. With surprise appearances from very special guests, this celebration is not just a reflection on the past, but a glimpse into the enduring legacy that will continue to shape the future of Notre Dame Athletics.

NBA All-Star Weekend is over... and we have some thoughts. Who's the second best shooter of all-time? What's the best basketball movie out there? Where is that photo of Coach Shrews as Jake Shuttlesworth?? One thing we know for certain: When talking about great hoopers, start with the great state of Indiana.

After an electric win over Virginia Tech, Notre Dame men's basketball joins the set of WUTE for an hour of good vibes all around. Former shot-blocker and current shot-caller Jordan Cornette joins us on set and shares a few stories that you won't want to miss. We hope this episode makes you just as happy as the crowd when Zona drains a corner three.
