In this week’s episode, we dive into the highs and lows of college football, with our usual hyper focus on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans. Although the episode dropped a bit later than usual, the energy is still high as Michael grapples with the Trojans’ recent loss to Penn State, while Greg revels in Notre Dame’s impressive victory over Stanford.

The discussion kicks off with the Trojans, and it’s a mixed bag. Michael is understandably downcast after USC’s second consecutive loss. Yet, there’s a glimmer of optimism from the “glass half full” crowd, who point out that younger players are stepping up and gaining valuable experience. On the flip side, the “glass half empty” fans are already looking forward to the NBA season, lamenting the Trojans’ struggles. With the rest of the season ahead, the hosts ponder what to expect—likely more ups and downs as the team navigates its challenges.

Transitioning to the Fighting Irish, the tone shifts to one of celebration. Notre Dame delivered a resounding win against Stanford, but the victory came at a cost: the loss of All-American cornerback Benjamin Morrison for the season. This injury adds to an already lengthy list of sidelined players for the Irish. Despite this setback, the hosts discuss how Notre Dame stacks up against other top teams, and the outlook is surprisingly favorable.

As the conversation unfolds, the hosts take a light-hearted detour to discuss the universally shared frustration with officiating in college football, sharing amusing anecdotes that many fans can relate to.
