taking Notre Dame win I'm taking the Notre Dame win right now and and when it came down to it when Notre Dame needed to do it they did it y they did it how about it we haven't seen Notre Dame do this since since LOL since L we haven't seen not win a game when they needed to win game since loles it was man it was just so nice to see us making those plays when it comes down to it those few plays you need to make a game like this go one way or the other and we made those plays I'm happy for everybody man what a hardfought battle even those linemen that were struggling they gave everything out there they're going to get better they're going to grow from this everybody we grinded it out whatever it was ugly there's a lot to clean up but we did what we needed to do it's just a big win man I'm happy for Freeman he needed this so much Pat he needed it no I I I John I totally agree it's it's it's it's a it's a program win it was it was not it was not the uh I we're we're I I I'll just it's not we're better than SCC win but it's a program win everyone predicted Notre Dame to lose I I I didn't watch game day but I read the articles about game day picks I read I saw all the betting picks I saw Vegas I saw what Vegas was picking they did not pick Notre Dame to win everyone saw Notre Dame losing this game what did Notre Dame do they won this game they won this game it's about time Notre Dame won this game yeah it's uh it's a beautiful thing man it's really really good to come out on top of one of these uh the the SEC part's a big deal that's going to be a good team that's going to get a lot better you're going to run into them a year from now at our place it'll be a different Dynamic um but I got to say man all the worries we'll deal with it tomorrow and we'll deal with it getting into next week the the the biggest thing was just getting the win you needed to get it's the biggest thing and we got it and so for tonight everybody just needs to be happy and we'll worry about everything else tomorrow tonight needs to be all about happiness that we finally succeeded in one of these moments right right let's hey I it and Andy Nation NY Nation let's be happy tonight let's be happy tonight my dad got mad at me about the when I was was I was cursing at the the Michigan commercial all right but it it's still the Irish won tonight it wasn't the prettiest game they had a lot of penalties there's a my dad my dad is literally standing up above us listening to me [ __ ] about him the Irish came out today and they they won a football game and honestly it was it was I was I was kind of I was a little scared I was a little scared I was a little scared scared Johnny you should be you should be because you're the one that said we needed to blow him out 80 to nothing so just shut recr shut up does that that the outcome of this game doesn't change what I called we needed to blow him off for recruiting but you know what Notre Dame won this game and the road to the playoff is a hell of a lot easier being one and0 than being one and you know what else Pat there's a lot of respect gained from this everybody knows it wasn't pretty everybody knows how hard it is to play there there was a lot of respect gained by Notre Dame today around the country uh everybody watching Notre Dame came up out on top they outlasted them they made a couple more plays they hung in there in that environment um everything going up against them a good job man I'm I'm thrilled um just I couldn't be happier man I we needed this one I had this big game change and you you don't get a gold chalice and not use it we needed the win to be able to use it you can't use a gold chalice against Northern Illinois it's got to be something bigger than that it's got to be bigger than that Pat so again you know what totally and you know what here's here's you know what I'm having hey John you remember Jimmy you remember this is Jimmy you remember Jimmy Jimmy C kicked you in the face yeah I

grounded how about that he's 16 he could drive himself to his room you're grounded pal hey Johnny Johnny I got I gotta say I gotta say John you know what the defense the I said Notre Dame Notre Dame is not going to give up more than 17 points against A&M I I what did I I said 24 to 13 to 17 or no 24 to 10 to 13 but they give up 13 yeah so there you go man you're right at my range I had 246 I put in the in sports illustrator we were right in that ballpark there defense in there man the defense held in there I tell you what the offensive line the offensive line as much as as much as I can complain about the offensive line when it came to the Run game when it came to the Run game when we needed it they did it that guy those guys they they they they put their heads down and they pushed and they opened holes and then and Notre Dame scored Notre Dame scored that's that's that's what I want it wasn't the prettiest game but they did what they needed to do when they needed to do it yep yep they got it man this was the win we needed Freeman needed it the fan base needed it the media needed it Notre Dame needed it now you got it everybody could fly home feeling good about themselves

if you guys see ever see uh if you ever see somebody in a leprechaun at all all dressed in a leprechaun outfit at all of our events that's who that is uh people are saying they're calling and they're not getting through the pack so that means you got to wait for somebody to drop off in the call sheet log and the hold log and when somebody drops off you could drop on keep trying to call and it'll uh it'll come back 815 980 where do you want to go welcome to the show John this is Joe molter first of all I love you uh secondly I texted you earlier and you said they need to change the narrative I that's exactly what happened tonight yeah um that's the game that usually happens to us like that's what Ohio state did to us two years ago and we did we walked in there 104,000 people and we did it to them we had a terrible offensive line offensive line wasn't very good but that second half they really showed what they can do and they took they took that game from like that's usually what happens to us yep that was awesome to see mistake but they did it man as I texted you they can't win a game of circumstance you know Jabo yell a kid they don't win that game you know there's Elco there's Leonard there's everything they went in there with a crappy offensive line and took it from him's never done that Joe you're so right man there there's so many of those moments in these big games where you feel it slipping away from Notre Dame and then it just goes full away from Notre Dame we run out of steam the other team makes a couple big plays you know late in the game that changes it it was really really just nice in this moment for us to be the ones that made those plays it was just really nice man it was a good change of pace and again my main theme Joe Freeman needed this you needed like a statement win you could really hold on to spike a flag in the ground and go we got this win we did the now you're ahead of the schedule now it kind of feels like you got a game in your pocket for the play off here now you could get to work now you could get to work what in the world hold on something happened with the phone line oh give me a break what happened give me a second you guys give me a second hold on something's going on with the phone lines yo Pat you still with me yo Pat all right guys hold on yeah there's something going on with the phone lines give me one

phone lines and they all crashed you know what Johnny Johnny and I would fully expect for you to overwhelm the phone lines because the Irish did something the Irish don't do and we need to acknowledge this and accept it and be like holy cow we are finally in a position to say man nordan went on the road and they beat a team that everyone thought they shouldn't beat and we're on the other side of it and holy cow we got a road to the playoff I mean I'm just telling you all right I'm trying to do uh get us back in you guys be patient I want Jim to get his own show my my dad yeah I think it's great

the game what' you hear Let's go Irish is what you hurt yep Y and we we shut them down you know very quick at the end and John great to see I know you you've lived it forever I've lived it forever is a great one I don't think A&M's gonna be that great but that's a game we always lose y exactly we're celebrate this one the'll take it Joe it's the moment in the circumstances M it made it bigger than whatever you think of of A&M as a team it's the moment and the circumstances and where Freeman in this program or position right now he needed to get over the hump and get ahead of things and a win like this does that and I'm just happy for everybody and it gives you a pep in yourr step to go improve and get better next week when we go back home this is the pro the program win everybody needed

is the one we needed this is the one Freeman needed the fan base needed the program needed we all needed it and we got it it's a beautiful thing Nick now we all need an apology from Kent because he was talking all that smack about three or four months ago how hot it was going to be how CR up all our players were going to be I didn't see any of our players having cramps I didn't see our quarterback running off the field puking nickel even more you did it not seem like their guys were the ones with more cramps than we had they were the ones laying there getting stretch out it really did feel like they were the side cramping up more than us am I wrong or did I just miss it I didn't I didn't see any Notre Dame players cramping up I might have missed it I might have missed a couple but I saw three or four of their guys cramping up now where's Kent where's he where's he at saying oh I'm sorry you guys you guys prepared better you guys did better I don't get it yeah where you hey I'm not gonna let Kent bring you down and you know what no Kent's in here giving us a hard time he I'm gonna expose Kent right now on on something good Nick he he's in here now kind of trolling he emailed me something really nice before this game like personally emailed me and said John I know what a big deal this is to you you know good luck and whatever I know what a big deal this is to you and your people so Kent you could be mean in the chat but you actually sent me something really genuine and nice before this football game started so he's gonna troll but I know he literally sent me a really nice message before the game I'm just throwing [Music] that well I'm just I'm just trolling Kent because he always trolls me he always tells me I don't know ball he always tells me I don't know nothing he always tells me OSU is the greatest team in the whole wide world right well they beat us twice I admit that I can live with that because that's what happened yeah but can't you give us a little credit every once in a while hey um that's all that's all my point is Nick I'm just so happy right now we got this win nothing's gonna bring me down man nobody poo pooing the wi saying it isn't a big deal nothing I'm not letting anything bring me down um I'm just this is the one we needed you could just it's a big exhale I feel like my blood pressure is down off the stroke range just from

me the whole time oh ND names they look good against an SEC team boy we fold it out this what happens when you play week one right when you play a real opponent week one this is what happen you look shaky on offense but we'll figure it out that's what I'm talking about yeah it was uh it was it was a uh it was a really really just a good way to start it was exactly what we needed it was exactly

on game day five minutes till it was over watched all them Knuckleheads Pat mcae he can suck the big one I am gonna go NRE Dame from here on out and he flip flopped forget him forget all those guys this was awesome forget all the people telling you we got a lot to clean up and all that what l HS always say the team improves the most from game one to game two I ain't worried about nothing we're going 12 and0 we're gonna make it to the final four and we'll see what happens after that I'm telling you man does it not feel like Notre Dame's got one in their pocket to play with now that's the best part about this is not playing with nothing John we're going 12 and0 baby man but but that's what I'm saying now you have one in your pocket to where you got over the best defense you're going to a face all year you just faced you managed to pass that test on the road and and I'm just saying should you need it I think you have one game in your pocket here to still be able to line up all of what you want to line up for the playoff that's what I'm saying and that's I love it this is just a great night it's the happiest you're ever gonna find me I'm never gonna be happier than this they're gonna be number five at the end of the season they're going to get the home game the week before Christmas just like you said forever it's going to be cold it's going to be snowing and I hope we get LSU so bad I want purple face to be real purple face because it's so faking cold right yeah and I'm telling you John I'm telling you what about Cozy going up and fighting for that ball we got some receivers on this team but everybody you know marked them down on their grades we when the ball was on target how many balls were dropped zero yeah it was receivers can catch the ball if the ball is thrown to them that's a good that's good progress for us that there's receivers that can catch the ball when it's thrown to them I'm glad we're on the winning track now that the guys could catch it when we throw it to him listen man I'm just happy for the whole operation I'm happy for that defense that they held in there all night I'm happy for Riley Leonard imagine all the pressure on Riley Leonard I know he got a lot of money but all that pressure coming over from duke and the whole pressure of Notre Dame lands on you and you got to deliver what a good job man like I'm just happy for everyone I'm happy for Freeman he this takes a big monkey off his back I'm happy for a lot of people in a lot of ways oh dude Freeman my wife and I were sitting out on the back deck having a drink and when we heard Freeman got the job we both hugged and cried said good for him and his family yeah that is awesome for him I'm sorry I get a little emotional about this stuff I'm a big family men but dudee good for Freeman good for that program yep it's about time we took took out the checkbook got some good assistant coaches and I hope Notre Dame knows what it's all about now and we stay

no redeem blah blah blah blah blah blah the dick riding SEC commentators on ESPN douchebags they all right they all dick write the SEC man I've said it to you since I first met you okay and like I

see you bye later oh man this is beautiful oh it's such a beautiful thing hold on a second here oh Tom what's going on buddy it's been a while what's up oh my God hello John Kennedy the the Northwest side of Chicago my neighborhood is gold bananas it was like the almost like the Blackhawks WN in the the last Stanley Cup dude I love that you're so chicagoyoutube like that is the aura that you that is the aura you give off when you're engaged in anything with me is I just feel like vintage Notre Dame winning Tom that is your Vibe and I love you for it bro well thank you and here's here's my takeaway so I told you earlier in the week that the that the um the difference was going to come down to the defense the discipline the kicking game and the running back the discipline was lacks on the offensive line but the defense stayed there I was so glad I mean just and and what you noticed a caller a little while ago was talking about were they cramping up what why weren't why wasn't Notre Dame cramping up and A&M was because they were rolling they were three deep on the defense that's huge yeah I haven't seen a defense like the last defense I saw that was close to this was 93 and 888 that's why I'm psyched up um you make those kind of mistakes on the offensive line and have a 100 yards of penalties and you still come out with a W in that hostile environment I listened I I turned off uh Fowler in herb Street and I listened to the game on the radio and Ryan Harris kept saying he thought the the uh the Press Box was going it it wasn't shaking it was swaying he thought that the joists were going to give out and they were going to go down that's how loud that place was man so you know what great job just everybody everybody involved man just to get through this moment and get what you needed as the bare minimum which is any sort of win and we can all move forward and talk about everything that needs to be cleaned up and the penalties and everything else um this was just it was a pro it was the win the program needed in this point in time Tom and and I'll be damned if we didn't get it we went and got it this time yeah and that and that's what and you know what the difference was the halftime adjustments that loomed so large that and the fact that Marcus Freeman had the stones to go for those two4 in shorts and we got robbed on the second one I liked it I I liked it he said and then the timeout that they took on field before uh Jeremiah loves uh last touchdown Y and they got those offensive linemen together I don't know if you caught it but Den Brock came out on the field and he got into every one of their faces and he says don't you make a goddamn mistake stay disciplined and we're gonna take this baby home man that really got me going I looked up to the heavens I said Blessed Mother thank you very much oh th what a way to close it out on the road man what a I love it oh what a great environment and everybody's watching and you know what else makes me very happy Tom is we're happy and we got what we needed but there's a lot of other people that are so mad tonight they're pissed off because they hate Notre Dame they hate all of us and they're just mad that we're in a good mood they're mad they were counting on Old Notre name failing again and instead we're one and0 and it's a beautiful thing and there's no nothing anybody could do to bring me down tonight like I'm riding High tonight this as good as it gets no no and and and look you know we know just like you said with the mistakes and we all watch the same game we're not we're not sugar coating it or anything but it it was it was magnificent to see him right now it's a building block now the next four weeks getting ready to go into the to Louisville come and let's take those sons of we're gonna win every game going into Louisville and then that's the next big game yep I can't wait to pay those sons of [ __ ] back from last year and you know what God bless them they they were ready and Notre Dame wasn't you know they're coming to our place and it's gonna be a different vibe it's gonna be a totally different vibe and and we're at home and we'll be hopefully feeling good and undefeated whatever man I love it yeah and the the a couple of last things though uh that once he the the one adjustment I saw when they when they decided to throw vertical and he got those two nice tou uh those two nice passes to Cooper Flanigan down the middle that opened it up that's all they had to do now if he can get that ball vertical a little bit more and start incorporating it I I I agree with a lot of the comments during the game that those those flat passes and stuff like that I know what he was trying to do he was trying to take you know easier blocking scheme for the for the for the offensive line but you know what they they got to engage and and you know what the left side of that offensive line grew up in the fourth quarter I was so happy to see that yeah man I'm happy just for everybody they survived the moment and that's all we were asking them to do we knew there was going to be some tricky issues here bad matchup are you know with their strengths and some of concerns all you had to do was enough to get through it and then we'll move on and correct what we need to correct Tom big win for Freeman big win for Notre Dame as a program B wi big win for all of the fan base and I'm happy for all of us and I'm happy for you representing Chicago brother thank you I hope I get Tom I hope I get to see you in a few weeks at the tailgate buddy I I'm gonna bust my stones to get down there I I I won't know until probably that uh Wednesday before so hey everybody uh go Irish God bless Johnny thank you I'll talk to you during the week have a good one I'll dude uh beef stick you got to chill out over here man these comments are uh I know everybody likes Lauren's presence but gez beefstick you uh you're dropping the uh the hint there 818 what's going on Welcome to the program what's up Rodney Rodney Rodney don't do this to me you're not going to be able to yell at Pat blame him for another loss what are you doing Rodney oh come on Rodney it was it was your time to shine and not be able to say uh blame Pat for another loss oh come on man 409 you're on the line what's going on hello hello you're on the air I'm on the air oh let's go John the legend Kennedy man ah dude so great to be here hey got a few things I want to say hey first off listen you on patreon it's awesome got a few things to point out one gby Jeremiah love can save us he did save us right there at the very end you know what big win for the Freeman era love it and you know what I'm going to say this I don't know how many people are going to be a fan of it but honestly Bo Collins catching that pass from the side line tough catch tapping the toes tough catch gets up shoves the DB in the back I gotta admit I like a little bit of the edge yeah I like being a little bit dangerous like that I want my guys to have some Edge I want some I want my guys to be like hey you know what you can't cover me and I I love it I love it yeah I don't know if it's gonna be popular I mean I get it could have been 15 yards could have been really bad we got really lucky in that spot big spot but you know what hey you know what this is an emotional game an emotional place and you know what hey everybody on Game Day whole nation everybody picking against us Vegas we're dogs you know what we ain't dogs no more we well we are dogs but we're not underdogs that's for damn sure yep man you go in there happy to be on god dude that the contested catch you're talking about I think about that from patreon 2 ghouls always talks about he says John where are our dogs that are going to go up and fight for a ball in a contested catch he ghouls be always hammers it he goes John where are he always does he says where are the dogs when that ball gets thrown up and the game is on the line I need our guy to go fight for it and either catch it or bat it down from the other whatever and then you got it and it was just a beautiful thing to see he's right hey go up there hey make a contested catch it's not going to be on the money every time but you know what hey little behind you little ahead you know little low little high you can still catch it you can still get your hands on so do it Bo Collins went up made a play he flexed on the DB a little bit I love it thank God we didn't get penalized for it but you know what I don't care I love the fact that we've got an edge now yeah that edge was dude I'm with you I like that edge too he could have got a penalty for it but I love that uh I love that he did that man in the moment I don't even think I would have cared if he got flaged I probably would have if we didn't have losen the game but you know you know hindsight's 2020 doesn't matter now yeah but at the end of the day it's like hey I don't care like you know what everybody else does it we it's been so long since we had a receiving core that can go up and make a play like that and then flex and be like you can't cover me yeah so the fact that we got to see that I was so jacked in that moment like I said thank God no penalty is what it is but you know what hey carry that edge through the season yeah you know let's be dangerous let's take chances I love the fact that Freeman fourth and one go for it fourth and one again go for it got screwed on the second one is what it is but you know what hey he's he's he's B he's not gonna sell his Laurels a season he's like hey this is the team this is when we make a run we're gonna do everything we got to do win every game do what we got to do get to that playoff win as many games as we can and I'm here

for next game but for tonight nobody's bringing us down this is the type of win we need and usually just fall short of getting and it just means the world to me that we were the ones that overcame it and made one more play and won this damn we were hated on by college game day damn near every single person except the goat Lee Corso like and we won and we prove all them wrong especially Desmond you know he can you know I don't know but you know he's a certified hater but oh he's definitely a certified hater we'll make it to the playoffs for sure this year I'm feeling great year yeah it's uh man it this is it does it makes me feel like Notre Dames got one in their pocket it really does I feel like this gives you leeway that maybe you could even drop a stupid game somewhere and still be in a really good position to to host one of those playoff games um and it's just a it's just a great moment man Notre Dame needed this Freeman needed this he he's gonna feel like a brick house weights lifted off of them flying back to South Bend and I'm happy for everybody involved with the operation um there was a lot of pressure here a lot of pressure and they did a really good job oh yeah definitely I feel like I feel like like Riley Leonard did his job like jaran price did his job I feel like our defense did their job like we played really really well and I'm just I'm just super hyped we got you know this this dub over you know Texas A&M which is a really really tough place to play at you know away you know it's a really loud environment I'm I'm just super you know hype that you know we got this yeah man it was just such such an important moment and uh man and we just we'll go on from here and we'll worry about stuff tomorrow but for tonight this is a Notre Dame celebration

lose you oh yeah no problem John I'm just I'm just really glad you know we won the game you know I I have some things about Riley Leonard and you know like when he when he throws the ball it's kind of like he he doesn't really like look around that much like he kind of just throws like where he should and it's kind of a problem but you know at least we got the dub and know I'm not tripping but thank God you're drinking out of that golden chalice because I love that hey I the the thing is man I had the golden chalice sitting there and but you can only do it for a game like this if you win so it I it was sitting on the table and all night I kept looking at it like am I gonna get to bring out the gold chalice and the big the big game chain or not and I wasn't going to and but we won it so now I can it's a beautiful thing oh yeah 100% we definitely deserve that after all of college game day decided we that you know they got Texas A&M for going for it but yeah you know we proved them all wrong like I think we're really them this year so I'm I'm super hyped about that I think I think we're gonna do good things this year yep it it was uh it's a really really good start man uh hey thanks

970 welcome me well I've listened to you a long time John I'm a I'm a big uh Irish football fan the game you said uh he didn't care how as long as they got the job done and they did that and they deserve credit um I could come on here I could talk about a lot of things I could talk about penalties I could talk about how Marcus Freeman deserves credit I could talk about Al golden I could talk about how we need to see more Mitchell Evans I could talk about Adon Scher getting the big pick I could talk about a lot of things talk about Jeter the ker because the legs of this operation deserve some credit bro I do not mean to cut you off but your phone is sounding like RoboCop or something what do you John it's really nice to talk to you you sound like RoboCop I don't mean to cut you off but it sounded like a like you were shooting gamma rays or something I didn't mean to do that to you I liked what you were saying but you sounded like Robocop and outer space I I don't mean to do that to you bro but it sounded bad like I wasn't trying to do that but it and Rodney I still need you to call back 574 Brandon is this you tell me this is you Brandon Brandon yes sir what's up baby what's going on let's go Brandon we getting l l tonight oh Brandon I'm so happy how are you doing are you down in Atlanta celebrating or what oh yeah I was out the noran bar tonight bunch of nor fans out there and we're having a great good time oh Brandon this is such a big win I'm so happy for all of us I'm happy for your family I'm happy for my family our whole group I mean this is uh man we needed this I love it bro this has got to be the wi in my lifetime for sure you think so yeah I don't know what else would be yeah dude I don't I mean it's and all these are situational and they have their own little different feel you know like like they just there's different feels to different wins depending on the circumstance and the situation my point is where Freeman was at in his tenure and at this point of where this whole program's at this is the kind of when he needed to stabilize things and show people there's a higher level here to this stuff and he did it and it it's just a beautiful beautiful thing yeah there's a mid tier SEC team but still an SEC team at the end of the day so that looks like a good win for Marcus Freeman so yeah and it's season start off strong and you're so right and it's just the moment that it is and being on the road like it's just a lot there's a lot that goes into it and um I just think Freeman needed it man in the recruiting has not been going like all your way the last couple months of the the summer and I just kind of feel like he needed this to stabilize things that's how I'm feeling he needed this to stabilize things yeah now we got a few few uh easier games to get everything tightened up and we'll roll into Miami of Ohio and get the all Irish tailgate going and go on from there oh man I can't wait so you're you're coming I want you and the whole family I want everybody there yep we already got the tickets booked so we'll be there oh man it's going to be beautiful anything else or are you going to just party all night in Atlanta

is this Kent is this Kent yeah yeah this me what's good big dog can't man don't be bringing me down I just I feel good man I feel good I feel good about things don't be bringing me down at about midnight don't be bringing me down in Midnight cat listen you gotta let me talk Hey listen hey hey first things first I want to congratulate y'all I really do I want to congratulate y'all you know Big Win quarters but my main thing what really got me was was at the beginning of the game you know how they showed everything you know how everybody come out when they come out the tunnel yeah when they show Marcus Freeman and he was talking to the crowd or whoever he was talking to and I show how he was pumping up the boys I was like oh yeah they ready they ready oh really oh really oh really they're ready they're ready Kent Kent really they're ready a different side of him oh now Pat's coming at you that was a different side of him Kent no see I can't I well let me turn my phone up because I had to turn my TV down watch Washington State and whatever state Washington or whatever well um I couldn't hear what Pat said but um what's wrong I mean I was gonna get to the BS but I want to congratulate y'all first I want to tell you how the demeanor was what I seen in the team and all that like that that was awesome like I seen a team that was ready to play a sec like the last caller said midlevel SEC team you play a team that I felt like wasn't good at all I mean be honest you handled your business but for four quarters playing that team I feel like it should have been maybe a two touchdown like going back to kind of what Pat said earlier maybe a month ago couple weeks ago maybe not a blowout but maybe a two touchdowns win maybe maybe me feel a little bit better about it but I'm not going to take the win away from but my thing is how like I'm GNA get to the point because like it's a lot of callers my thing is relax calm down I mean like it's a lot more I expect you guys to win that game it was the game one I yes I guess you guys want to get the monkey off your back but to me like relax because you got if you guys are you guys got bigger games to be worried about you know what I'm saying like a bigger fish fried later on down the line somebody like a Louisville somebody somebody like a don't up Florida this is Notre this is Notre Dame football no he didn't he's lying he's lying he said we would lose this game don't relax don't give me relaxed I get it be excited get be excited you played at Texas inm it was 107,000 they said that's a lot of people like Riley L said that's something like you can still see the crowd going to the sky like I I get it huge win I'm not taking from y'all all but what I'm what I'm saying is me that's not a sec team that I thought that could beat y'all from watching it from watching they receivers watching their skill players compared to your skill players on defense like like I told you like I told you what that guy name is gray Christian Gray yeah he made one good play at the end of the game John and I told you he he got he got Abus a little bit to me to me he got abused a little bit so of course he going he gonna get better over time time players were no match compared to your scared players on offense and defense like the last couple callers said AG go B Collins great pickup Chris Mitchell didn't see him Faison I hope his leg good great house you know what I'm saying like those guys there like they they chip in here and there but where was the boy 83 Thomas I didn't see much of him like though that kind of bothered me a little bit and the running back situation like Jeremiah Love and and gud price yes they broke off big runs but they really was bottled up here you know what I'm saying they was really bottled up and and I'm G get to my last Point not to bring the show down but the running game on their behalf they had nobody but number eight M and they literally was letting him run the ball and catch the ball out the back field they had over a 100 rushing yards on y'all now if you playing somebody like I won't say me because everybody don't like me so you ain't you you ain't you you ain't Ohio State you say you're Ohio State Ohio St ion even say me I'll say somebody else and joy somebody let's say you get to the final you get to the final four let's say you get there when you can you hold it up you know what I'm saying like if you guys I'm not worried about that I'm not worried about that right now let me have one night one night one night one game one night one game John one night one game you know Kent's here always doing what Kent does spitting [ __ ] [ __ ] I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry you're not gonna bring me down not tonight I understand your concerns but you're

the man in the back I like all that good like that [ __ ] was nasty I like at all I like the Freshman actually holding up the left tackle he did that defensive line is not what everybody tried to make it out to be that's me also saying that they defensive line was gonna get like five sacks I like but I watched the game I was like well damn what they saying when you watch the game that ain't what's going on the boy blocking these boys so good [ __ ] y'all got something going over there y'all will have a good another good offensive line this year um um Evans will come back and be good um so it's

it away from me it's just a saying give me a break when I'm saying can I just be happy for a night it's not literally hanging on his answer to that question five doll all will he be hardan personal problem can't answer that I'm bigger stronger smarter and leaner than Kent more of a man too easy to do admittedly get bent Kent hey at least that rhymes I like that I like that that rhymes okay let's see oh boy we're gonna run through as many more calls as we can we're getting close to the 2hour Mark I'm going to try and go through these let's see what we could do oh let's see 832 we're talking to you what's going on hey John how's it going it's going fantastic I'm in a great mood Notre Dame got the win they needed baby yep they did I'm actually on my way home I was actually at the game wait a second you were at the game this is f absolutely fantastic why don't you share with us I want to know about the noise I want to know about the drama I want to know everything I was how was the fan base to interact with give me some of the details this is beautiful let me know yeah so the fan base was actually kind of really great to us we were there all afternoon went to different restaurants and stuff in the area it was everybody was like welcome to Agy land and everybody was uh you know welcome and forthcoming and uh you know there's a ton of Notre Dayan fans out there even you know like I know you saw most of green on TV but there were some wearing white and some were wearing blues and stuff like so you couldn't really get the full effect I don't think on TV is how many of us were actually out there and so it was pretty cool in our section um we were down in the lower section 116 and there were little group of Notre Dame fans that were holding together amongst the the the boosters and all this other stuff that was all behind us and whatnot it was great in the beginning of the game and then as things started you know to uh kind of break apart folks behind us were getting a little agitated and whatnot but um you know other than that it was it was fantastic the crowd noise how loud was it for real how loud was it and and okay not only do I want to know like when you hit a high pitch Crescendo how loud is it but I want to know like the ongoing loudness it seemed pretty loud throughout like what was it how loud was it really how loud was it really yeah it was almost like like if you go to like a rock concert whatnot like you're near this speakers and stuff like that it's it's pretty loud um and you know uh we you know we were down down low you know like when the band was out there I guess you call the the nail Che cheerleaders and stuff were so you know like they were doing the their call uh multiple multiple times yeah you wouldn't you wouldn't see that on TV because they were doing it on every break man so and uh you know my wife my wife came with me she said that it was like the one of the coolest environments she's ever been in so how many Notre Dame people were there like I don't expect you to have a head count but were there decent pockets of Notre Dame people around town and in the stadium like did you see a decent amount yeah I was I was talking to my wife about that I would say there probably close to 20% or 20 you know between 20 and 25% of what I what I came across it's just the thing is they were scattered uh some on the lower bowl so like there was a few in our section which was in the end zone there was some that was right behind the Notre Dame bench and then there were some that were uh over where the insurance was where the uh where teams came out in between where A&M came out and where um M Dame came out but then there were some on the upper bowls gotcha so you were like all together you there'd be a pretty good section man just what a good what a good win for Notre Dame band just a tough gritty hardfought hard-earned win to open the year in a tough place to play a a tough mat matchup offensively with their defense and what they present I just can't get over this is a this is all we needed it to be just not the prettiest thing not a masterpiece but the win in a tough hard earned one I love it well and I I got some pictures and stuff I I'll send you from because I I I got pictures of warm-ups and stuff like they were dialed in like from the start it was it was really cool got to see the quarterback warm up in our In The End Zone by us we had the defensive line uh they were pounding like crazy uh during warm-ups so they were they were very zoned in um you know what else let let me ask you this um I don't know where you were sitting and the angle you had people are talking about when Freeman came out of the tunnel he was kind of pointing up at the crowd and was all like getting excited and showing all this emotion and it was actually pretty refreshing to see Marcus come out there and showing that emotion right when they're coming out of the tunnel I really enjoyed that I don't know if you could see it from your angle but he was like kind of Pumped up when our guys were running out and I loved it I was here for that action boss yeah that was in the other endone from the other end where I was at I was at the opposing end um and because that's that's where the the other pocket of fans and they did the all the modern Step at that other end and uh actually my father-in-law sent us a picture he had a picture of whenever price ran into that touchdown you can actually see me as they're running in there with my mouth wide open basically and shock and excitement as he's coming in so it it pretty cool like I said overall yeah just man we just we needed this so bad the program needed it Marcus needed it um and now you can really calm into the year here refocus look really where you need to really get a lot better and more efficient offensively this offense should get a lot better as we get further down the road the old lines gonna settle in more you got what you needed any sort of win and I gotta credit you for being willing to go into a hostile environment and represent Notre Dame and do all that credit to you man that's loyal Notre Dame fanhood I love you for it and I got to tell you it was really cool when you go across other noted there's not one that didn't go by I said go Irish it was really cool it was like a it's like a family basically yeah and you it's like you all are in it together against the world kind of you know what I mean and it's just kind of us against everybody um what a beautiful thing man hey I appreciate you giving me a call thinking of me when you were uh uh leaving the game and doing all give me a call again sometimes thanks for representing us down there bro all right we'll talk later have a good one oh man it's a beautiful thing Pat I think the chat thinks Lauren looks better on the screen than you do does that offend you I didn't I figured it's a compliment figured it wouldn't offend you I mean I mean John she is so you know you know she said to me she goes I'm gonna get up and walk away I don't want anyone to know I like you so just sit down as I get up that's fair that's

sounded really good I tell you what man what you guys had an all right game tonight man but I wish you all luck the rest of the season but you know what when you go to bed tonight I want y'all just to

voice that you could do a lot with give me a call again we have fun here thank you all right all right all right all right all right you know what if it wasn't for the fact that he's so cool I've been

like all all right all right yeah we cheated but you know I'm cool I don't we oh it's so funny it's just like oh well whatever you know I don't know 360 you're you're on the show what's going on hey John you there I am there how we doing tonight I'm doing quite well this is about as happy as I'm ever going to be uh I'm in a great mood how how do you feel man I love it I I'm pretty calm I'm pretty calm because we gota win and if everybody that's concerned you can go look up it's on all the NY stuff did Mike El or not Mike Elco uh our defense or our offense coordinator from LSU yeah sorry terrible with names Den Brock he he was yeah Den Brock was talking he was like oh yeah I got an earful from my old coach all the way back the plane ride from Alabama because we only put up a couple yards of passing but I was trying to tell him that you know he's getting used to his receivers used to the the calls and stuff but he but he ran and we got the win you know or maybe they didn't at that time I don't know but we got the win tonight yeah and yeah and you can go look that up because I I'm not one with a photograph of memory so I can't recall it completely but you go look up Den Brock talking about Kelly chewing his ass I remember that all the way back yeah remember story and and and guess what he ended up with the number one offense the Heisman Trophy and two guys that went to the NFL now were they talking that before game one were they talking that was anybody talking that no yeah just relax a little bit with with with Riley Leonard and this offense just relax did you see all that movement all those different formations the different [ __ ] that was going on come on yeah that wasn't that wasn't I'm sorry to say Troy's new coach offense but um another thing let me just switch gears real quick because this is a really good point [Music] another deposit just for your show but the guy said guys let's ride about that Notre Dame speed running away from the SEC defense and the Notre Dame conditioning wearing down the SEC boy in their own house yeah everybody was so so this was going to be our train rack for Notre Dam no no we sat in there with the slug f it was it was game one with Den Brock who loves notan players yeah it's uh man it just such a good night yeah sorry no that's okay man thanks for calling I remember that story about Den Brock too um but he's home now he's he's home now he's in he's in Old s and he's co on with the win and and and and what's coming what's coming huh more wins hope a number one offense in the in the you know and some some top receivers man you would a hope you would hope that this would uh help bu I don't have to I don't have to hope Den Brock did it at LSU he's gonna do it here you don't hope on coaches who've done what they said they're GNA do well there you go there these coaches and and that's what Freeman he he's put himself with two two guys who have coached head coaches they've they've been in the top dogs of the top programs and now they're there loving their positions coaching yep uh it's it's a beautiful thing my friend it's a beautiful thing and that's why we're going all the way it should it should get a lot better too they settle into the year here it will it'll grow it grow because there's there's things that we went down to ACC we went down to and we won yep yep we certainly did hey man thanks again give me a call give me a call after another game thank you hey love you John love you John appreciate it thank you very much my friend I appreciate it very much 574 give me some more local what's going on John you could not have seen a better South Bend than tonight and I mean that why was it popping around town or what what do you mean fill me in oh I was at my parents house my voice was is gone I have said a lot of things to the universe most of them swear but that's why I'm going to church tomorrow but I thought I'd jump on and make sure that here to tell you how I feel about this game and I have to say this right now and you might be a little annoyed or upset but that's okay the whole Narrative of this game was the Tex A&M's defensive line but you know what they forgot John do you know what they forgot that we are o line you and we rebelled hey man they hung in there they hung in there and there was going to be certain issues with certain things they hung in there like seriously that's all you could ask them to do um they hung in there they put a couple Drives together they needed to you got through it they'll they'll develop um it was uh it was good to see you got Gilmore was in here and he was on the line and then dropped off but couldn't get to him in time uh but he was around here um but yeah man they they're going to be a good offensive line in a couple years they're young they they fought that's all you could ask for you knew it was going to be a tough battle match up for those guys and they fought and they ended up doing just enough good for them so the reason why I said this is the happiest I've seen South B is why was because me driving home with my cousin I was taking him home because we were watching games all day today and every I saw people out on the out on by the streets hold now Notre Dame Flags people yeah that would be the one probably yeah that always argue this is better than this game yeah when you think about it like i' I've thought about it that was literally the last win that kind of felt like this to me going to a tough place to play you're on the road blah blah blah that it all kind of lines up that was in my mind too and you know what now the narrative has completely changed after this game because all day and all week everybody was saying this is a tech A&M team with Mike Elco there are going to destroy Notre Dame because Notre Dame's overrated every year they shouldn't be allowed in the top 10 now what is do you see the messages online oh surprise surprise overrated Tech S&M oh the tm's gonna go 4 and8 this year that's why narrative hasn't changed that's why narrative joh it never changes yeah and you know what though I'm fine with it because if it flips and now everybody's saying this isn't that big of a win A&M isn't what we thought blah blah blah blah blah they people could say that all they want it doesn't change what Notre Dame did and and now lines thems up for so that narrative on social media or people poo pooing this what let him do it but it doesn't change that they're one and0 and have the inside track toast the playoff game people can say whatever they want to say A&M's gonna win and lose whatever they're gonna win and lose they're gonna bring a good defense every week that's gonna bother people um but hey man I will uh I will take this win and be happy about it and I'll work about what we got to improve on when I get up tomorrow yep and I will say this too is that to every single person and I know there was a guy I heard this week say I didn't question I don't think Marcus Freeman's the guy he was on your talk he was on your radio show this week he better call in and damn apologize for his comments this week hey because Freeman not only got got in that Stadium not only got his men ready but he play showed us a defense that we haven't seen in Years Years John and I tell you anybody who tries to compare him again to Brian Kelly better stop talking because Kelly you know damn well he would have walked in that Stadium lost by 40 oh man I love it I love this energy and you know what I need Freeman to keep developing this was a huge step for him a big feather in the cap he's got to keep developing now there's some confidence a proof of concept in one of these bigger moments uh and we could grow from there man but dude it means the world to me to hear that that South Ben was popping for an away game I love that I I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't see people waiting at the airport for our boys to come home oh man that's uh that's I don't know about that but it's it's a good moment man it's a really really good moment yeah the old waiting at the old train Frank or a rock is that what they're going to do it's not exactly beating Army but I'll in the old days but I'll take it man uh thanks aot lot man give me a call again will you absolutely like I said I'm proud of Marcus Freeman's uh show today I told you he's always gets his guys ready week one sometimes we don't play the best but today we played like Champions and that's all that matters oh it's a beautiful thing thanks a lot buddy oh man uh oh boy P what do you think we're over two hours now couple more calls and then I got to get right got articles right I just want I you know what Johnny I just want to say like I've I've heard I've heard a lot of comments and I I'm all on board with fandom Notre Dame fandom this this this was huge this win was huge this was Notre Dame doing something they haven't done in 30 years all right so I'm I this is huge it's it's the projector Lauren I'm I this this was huge I'm I'm very this is very this is not not Notre Dame like all right we got to take a deep breath this is an eight we beat an 8 and4 football team tonight it's an eight Tom okay Kent junor why don't you back no no no I'm not I'm not dismissing it John I'm not dismissing it but I'm ju I'm just saying that it it reality is reality John reality is reality and you you deserve to wear the Big Chain because Notre Dame won a big game they finally did it everybody was against Notre Dame play but tomorrow tomorrow's a new day tomorrow let me worry about now there's a bullseye now there's a bullseye John good oh people are like Oh No Name wait a second wait a second wait a second we gotta look at this team from Indiana and that's what we want that's what we want now now you have to look at us yeah now we have to play yep well it's a good spot to be it's the spot we've always wanted agree I totally agree we it's a spot to be take your calls

but still hyped up even with all that I'm telling you it it's just it's exactly what everybody in this fan base and around the program needed everybody needed this this is the one we needed and we got it it feels great don't it oh it feels amazing like I will I will walk my words unlike during the game but and that was something and I will say something I haven't seen anybody talk about yet Kristen Gray he played amazing tonight no one has talked about him specifically they were trying to pick on him all night I noticed it and then when we needed him he came up with a big play yeah man it's just so many times we've been in these moments and the other team makes the one or two plays at the end of the game to just get ahead or change the momentum or make that one extra play to wrap a game up or whatever it just just felt really good that it was us this time damn it you know it's about time we were the stronger team we outlasted the other team we made those couple plays on each side of the ball and it was damn good to see it feels good good for everybody involved I was at the Ohio State game the last two years so finally seeing us finish the job oh it felt so good yeah uh it it's a beautiful thing and and now you know Pat's right we're going to get back to business we're going to sober up after all this realize where we need to improve um you know should have a couple hopefully manageable games in front of us and then the schedule gets a little tougher again and we'll we'll have another big measuring stick but for where we're at right now this is a beautiful beautiful night
