I friggin love these pods you’ve done with Jamie. Many thanks to you and him for putting the time and effort into these!
Chris, you and your team are absolutely killing it with the podcasts lately, and I thank you for that. The entertainment that this site has provided during the pandemic has been a welcome reprieve from all the other BS going on. I’m at the point where I’m looking forward to the podcasts almost as much as the games.
Loved this podcast...especially the info on COVID testing. Well done.
Just fantastic! Lots of insight on Covid and the B12 vs other conferences, Ohio State CHOSING not to play Illinois when they could have, etc. Great interview.
Someone with more notetaking time than me put into bullet points his Notre Dame trifecta, lol...i.e. why we'll win the natty next year with a heisman trophy winner
Going off memory, but I think here is how it goes.
- Notre Dame plays in a bowl against team X.
- If Notre Dame goes undefeated in the regular season in the year after the bowl game then the point below happens in year 2 after the bowl game.
- Team X wins the national championship and has the heisman winner.
- So ISU played ND in 2019. ND just finished 2020 undefeated on the regular season. So, ISU has a Heisman winner next year, and also wins the national title.
The trifecta (based on a sample size of 2) exists that every time Notre dame plays a bowl game in orlando, Notre Dame then goes undefeated in the regular season the next season, and then the following year the team they played in that bowl game wins a natty.
Notre Dame played FSU in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando. Notre Dame went undefeated in the 2012 regular season (losing to champion Alabama). FSU went undefeated in 2013, and won a natty and a heisman
In 2017, Notre Dame played LSU in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. In 2018 they went undefeated in the regular season (losing to eventual national champion Clemson) In 2019 LSU went undefeated, won a natty and a heismen
In 2019, Notre Dame played ISU in the Camping world bowl in Orlando. In 2020, Notre Dame has (to this point) had an undefeated season. In 2021, Iowa state __________

They are done with the regular season, I think. So they’ve completed step 2.
I don’t know how you can listen to Pollard and not be so freakin glad he’s in charge of the AD.
I found it interesting that Ohio State chose not to play Illinois and the decision was not Covid related.
It was covid related but they had enough people that the Big 10 would have let them play.
