Interview – Get to Know the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with Dan Sullivan

Listen here.

We all know that there’s a big game coming up at Wallace Wade what with Notre Dame coming by to get exposed to a real college football environment. Sticking with our theme of the season, our guest Dan Sullivan gives you a chance to get to know the Irish. Dan is a fellow attorney and good friend of mine who grew up watching Notre Dame and is my source for information regarding the Irish. During our interview, we discuss how Notre Dame has done this season, the loss to Ohio State and how Duke will match up with the Irish on Saturday. We tell some stories about cases we tried together and what a jerk I apparently was early on in our professional career. I think I was just misunderstood. We also talk about conference restructuring, my overall thoughts on the Blue Devils so far this season and we get a game prediction from Jay Pelosky before checking in on things in Richlandia.

Interview – Get to Know the UCONN Huskies with Graham Chamberlain

Listen here.

To get ready for Saturday’s road game, we sat down with Graham Chamberlain of UCONN Rivals. In this almost hour long discussion, we cover the recent history of UCONN football, discuss the challenges the Huskies face in building a program, listen to a few voicemails and give our prediction for the game. The episode starts out with a brief recap of where Duke is so far this season before getting into the upcoming game. We also take a few shots at UVA because why not?

In addition, we discussed the future of UCONN football and The ACC going forward. I give my opinion on adding the three new schools and how the conference will look over the next decade. You will hear me tell UNC, Clemson and FSU to shut up and stop whining about money if you don’t want to add SMU at no real cost to The All Coast Conference. Seriously, guys, stop complaining about money if you aren’t going to take that free pile of cash the Mustangs gave you.

Interview – Get to Know the Northwestern Wildcats with Louie Vaccher

Listen here.

To get ready for Duke-Northwestern on Saturday, we’ve got an interview with the editor of Wildcat Report, Louie Vaccher. During a very informative discussion, we talked about the Northwestern hazing scandal, the associated lawsuits, listen to a few voicemails and, hey, we actually talk about the Wildcats and the Blue Devils! We have some game predictions from me, Louie and Duke running back Joe Ajeigbe! We also check in on Richlandia.

Interview – Get to Know the Lafayette Leopards with Charlie Berman

Listen here.

Charlie Berman, the sports editor for The Lafayette, stopped by to talk about Duke’s second opponent this season. The Leopards are in the process of a turnaround under second year head coach Jim Troxell. Lafayette’s strengths are defense and running the ball. Given the short week that the Blue Devils have after a Monday night game with Clemson, expect a lot of early punches from this Patriot League foe. We also detour into Boston College’s week two matchup with Holy Cross.

Both me and Charlie give our picks and, sure enough, Dad calls in with a prediction. We have a few other voicemails, too, and a reaction to the win over the Tigers. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode.
