OFD Podcast: Notre Dame Football Rivalries Part I

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan embark on a journey to try and explain the complicated hierarchy of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football rivalries. It’s a topic that can get outright controversial in some respect, and we do our best to lay it out (as we duke it out). In this episode:

• Somehow Notre Dame’s “The Shirt” makes an appearance and Josh’s blood begins to boil.
• We discuss the recent news about Under Armour and the UCLA Bruins and if any of that will affect Notre Dame.
• Brendan gives the HOTTEST of takes on the rivalry with the USC Trojans.
• Historical rivalries and if the Navy Midshipmen belong there - or anywhere.
• The Michigan State Spartans as a BIG R.
• How the Penn State Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Panthers fit as rivals.
• The Michigan Wolverines and it’s exit from BIG R status.
• How we view the rivalry with the Stanford Cardinal.
• Did the Boston College Eagles make the list based almost solely on their hatred for Notre Dame?
• A future rival in the making?

And an insane amount of MORE weaved in and out of the show. We apologize for a few technical difficulties that happened during the recording. Let’s just say it was because of solar flares and move on.
