    Love This Crew!
    I love IB and appreciate the amount of show you guys do everyday. I don’t think people appreciate how much more you guys have everyday compared to really any podcast where most are doing one show a week. Also love how Bryan, Sean, Vince, Jesse, and Ryan all bring different strengths and insights to their shows!

    These ads are brutal
    The number of ads completely ruin the listening experience. And I’ve listened to BD for years

    Love IB……but
    Everyone is great except Jessie. He really is bad. He doesn’t answer question correctly, he’s always arguing with his dad when he’s wrong, giving just an akward vibe about the whole episode. I love IB but I just don’t think Jessie should be on there and for goodness sakes Jessie it’s 85 degrees get your butt up and put in your ac in your home goodness.

    Hard-working staff with insight, authentic analysis
    This is the go-to channel for Notre Dame Fighting Irish football podcasts. Daily info. Daily analysis. Daily commentary. Daily everything ND football. Plenty of staff perspectives that prevent single-minded analysis.

    Irish Breakdown
    Great Stuff!

    Kelly rant
    Spending an entire episode ranting and bashing Kelly? Your hate for him is apparent, and it shows clearly. I don’t even like Kelly, but after this poor rant of an episode, it reminds me why I don’t subscribe to your site. He’s gone, why don’t you move on and talk about ND, not LSU
  • Baylor is awesome
    Ads
    I love this show and I think y’all are genuine people but the ads are killing me. If I have to hear “Don’t search, match with indeed…” one more time, I might throw my phone out a window. Great content though!👍
  • irishshane76
    Great podcast
    Awesome podcast however, wish there was a way to know if Bryan is actually on. Pretty meh minus Bryan.
  • IrishLegendJoeMontegna
    Great coverage
    The IB guys bring a tremendous amount of coverage with great insight. They are clearly connected to the program and recruits and have a good understanding of the game and break things down well. Thanks IB!
  • CPT Stubing
    Best ND Football podcast by far
    Been following ND football deeply for decades , this us by far the best, most insightful on the ND beat. Only one(other than Prister)that really knows player evaluation. Good recruiting coverage also. Some of these other Reviews are so stupid, they’re not worth paying attention to. If you’re a smart football fan that’s interested in learning about ND, this is easily the best
  • Steve 2288
    Opinionated but often wrong
    These guys are so convinced they are right about EVERYTHING. One guy was a low level D3 assistant and the other guy was a HS JV coach I think. Now please tell us again how ND should move All American, Nagurski Award winning safety X Watts. back to WR.
  • Ranch86
    Way too many ads
    Half of every episode is ads and quantity has taken priority over quality. Less episodes would be better, after an episode it’s like what did I actually get out of that
  • charliebird922
    Time filler
    Tons of content so a good time filler though out the day but repetitive. Also not a great listen from a recruiting perspective. BD says every guy is a 4 or 5 star so Georgia must be getting 9 star guys.
  • mmm, hmmm, uh huh, hmmm!
    There’s no “I” in “team” but there is one in Indeed!
    And if I hear that one more time I’m going to need a lot of Better Help Therapy.
  • NDGrad 76
    Disappointed
    As they try to fill more airtime it simply has gone way off track. Repetitive and boring. Time to move on to more crisp and succinct discussion.
  • Spillyman
    Great show
    Love to listen to this podcast. All the speakers are great. Shaun Davis is the lone one to skip over. Never adds much insight and is too long winded. The rest are phenomenal.
  • ErikThornton
    Great Overall. But…
    Incredibly informative and insightful. Love the analysis from football minds more educated than my own. At times find myself frustrated by Brian cutting his co-hosts off every. single. time. they open their mouths… Let these guys complete a thought man.
  • ND Sub Fan
    MAGA Show
    This guy spends half his time pushing far-right conspiracy theories and conservative talking points instead of talking about the team.
  • Byeeeeeeee for real
    Never a post-game pod
    ND grad here. There is NEVER an immediate post-game pod - audio or video - where fans (like me) can decompress after a horrible loss like this, or even a win. It’s your JOB to provide fans with your insight and reviews. Why take post-game time off? Because it’s a weekend? C’mon. This OSU loss is DEVASTATING and when will we get to hear what you guys think about the game including ONLY TEN MEN ON THE FIELD FOR THE FINAL TWO PLAYS??? we rely on you to help us make sense of things that don’t make sense. What doesn’t make sense to me is that football pods almost NEVER do an immediate post-game pod. Why is that?? Make sense and I’ll change the rating, because right now I’m mad at the world and you’re just the object my anger. lol 🤦🏻

    Slitting Shows into Multiple Episodes
    Love IB. Love IB Nation. Love the guys and their shows. Please recognize, I AM A HUGE FAN! That said, this is a review page so I am offering my honest feedback on the podcast presentation, not the content. HATE THE FEED!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure if the decision was made to split an individual show into multiple smaller chunks for the podcast stream to make it easier to listen or to try to inflate stats of listeners or downloads. Either way, it is killing my feed. I follow probably about 10 podcasts regularly using the Apple app. I’m not joking that right now there are exactly 18 shorter IB episodes at the top of my feed published in the last 2 days. I know it’s Ohio State week, and you have a lot of content, but this is ridiculous. It’s not just this week either. 1 typical show is usually split into 3 shorter episodes almost daily. Not only does this make it very difficult to follow my other podcasts, it also makes listening to IB very difficult. The publication order is often out of sequence and I have to start multiple episodes to figure out the correct order. I struggle to always know which different shows are which. I know I can limit downloads using the app, but then I miss shows or parts of shows. Like many, I cannot listen for 3 or more hours daily. So if I don't, and I limit downloads, I miss things when I try to catch up. Heck, there was even a possible incorrect stream in the feed once this past week. Host I have never heard that didn’t introduce himself interviewing another person I didn’t know. Maybe that was bonus content. Maybe it was a mistake. Either way, really hard on a listener. I am BEGGING the guys at IB to adjust their publication strategy and have mercy on this listener. 1 episode per show, clearly labeled and titled.

    Great Stuff
    A daily listen for me. Go Irish!
  • TwinsRobloxMusica
    Would be better if
    Great pod cast. I listened all off season. It would be so much better without the phrase in my opinion. It’s all your opinion! That phrase interrupts a great conversation.
  • kevin burkhardt
    BD talks to much
    I know I know , it’s his Company so he can do whatever he wants. I checked back in and it seems like it got worse in regards to him just rambling on and on. Be interested to see how long he talks vs Ryan in a 3 hour podcast. My guess 2 hours vs 1. There is very good info and analysis but just a good Back and forth discussion.
  • new rental
    IRISH BREAKDOWN IS THE BEST!
    The analysis is fantastic. I do admit, I am an Irish fan but Bryan Driskell has takes that are backed up by facts. He’s a huge college football fan and is fast to give kudos where it’s due. Great to listen to!!!!
  • New Men!
    Recruiting disadvantaged
    Bryan, as of today Georgia is #1 and ND is #6 in 247 team rankings. ND is 56 points behind Georgia. The distance between ND at #6 and Iowa at #31 is 56 points. The gap in talent not only for ND but for most teams outside of OSU/Bama is larger then people think.
  • Barbouncer71
    From Hyperbolic to Gun talk
    From using the word “ HYPERBOLIC “ every other sentence to gun talk this show has assorted talk now. Lucky Lefty PC reminds me of the movie Fridays with football talk ….. guys stick to Football
  • DOMER4LIFE
    Talks too much
    Podcast has some descent content but often times takes 90 minutes to provide 5 minutes of worthwhile info/opinion. If you having nothing better to do then I’m sure it’s fine, but many times it’s a whole lot of rambling!!
  • jdirish005!
    Thank you!
    The Chick-fi-la of ND analysis! Solid foundation in faith, family and then ND. Appreciate the hard work, honesty, and great overall coverage of our beloved Irish!

    Only Brian D. Would Talk Over Irish illustrated Guests
    Periodically I try to give this podcast another chance, hoping Brian D. will finally stop dominating people, stop continuously interrupting and stop taking over every single conversation. I thought when he had on the OG Tim Priester and later his colleague Tim O’Malley he would do whatever was needed to stop those behaviors. It’s beyond disrespectful to beat writers of that caliber to behave that way. Why have any guests on if all you want is to hear your own voice, all the while saying “I really want to hear your opinion on this X” but then completely take over. No you don't want to hear someone else’s opinion. You just don’t. Yikes. Thankfully Sean and Vince as well as Sean and Malik do their own shows so we can actually hear their voices and opinions. I cannot imagine why anyone would choose to be on the air with him.
  • IAmIkeaMan
    Karson’s Corner
    Phenomenal new segment! I love his enthusiasm!
  • Adrock04
    good stuff with one HUGE problem
    Shaun and Malik have something really special here on the LL podcast. But I can’t help but wonder why they don’t care about the incessant vibrating from their phones during the show. Would be really helpful if they put their phone(s) on a folded up towel or something to dampen the loud vibration sound that happens dozens of times each episode. Really waters down the quality of their product.
  • Fredripkenrules
    Best Irish info on the market
    I’ve been an Irish fan since 1985 and these guys have the best insight outside of the great Lou Somogy. Look forward to the daily YouTube live shows and follow the podcast for everything else. Great job by Ryan and The Boys!
  • JLinMI
    Most Informative ND Football Site
    I’ve been an ND fan since 1972 and have followed since including reading many different websites over the years and subscribing to the old BGI newspaper. The Irish Breakdown podcast and it’s message board and website give me better information on the team and program than anything else I’ve used. Bryan has built a strong team who are knowledgeable and complement each other. Thanks for the great work Bryan, Ryan, Sean, Shaun and Vince.

    Irish Breakdown
    I love Irish Breakdown, I listen or watch them every day after school.
  • James A. C.
    Knowledgeable and Objective
    In depth knowledge, passionate and yet objective. Great production quality. Expert and detailed knowledge comes from experience playing and coaching so you get a great understanding of the Xs and Os. Also in depth knowledge of recruiting and the coaching. Good job keeping the main thing the main thing and focusing on what they want the show to be and growing.
  • Joshua D. B.
    The Perfect Imperfect Show
    IB is unrivaled in their ability to get inside intel (on the premium message boards), more or less objectively banter on ND football, their strengths and weaknesses as a program, etc. Listening to IB has given me a broader understanding of ND and CFB as a whole: it’s about the coaches and the players, not merely the players. Now, most of the 1 and 2 star reviews have some validity to them: Bryan does a lot of the talking, has some smugness, talks/interrupts Vince, etc. However, (1) no man is perfect and (2) I’ve seen Bryan grow a lot in each of the aforementioned things just in the year that I’ve listened to the show. There is no perfect show (we live in a post-Genesis 3 world), yet Bryan has put together a great staff with the additions of Ryan, Shaun, Brian, Devin and others that is unrivaled in their ability to breakdown ND football from the players and coaches to the X’s and O’s.
  • Casey Reece
    I want to be on the show!
    Bring me on!! Live!!

    Your Go-To Source For Notre Dame Football!
    This podcast covers all things ND football: Recruiting, pre-game and post-game analysis, team and coaching staff strengths and weaknesses, etc. and does so in an objective and knowledgeable way while having fun.
  • ndsince88
    Long time listener, first time caller
    I have been listening to this podcast since the Rona days, and after hearing a couple episodes this became my go to for Irish football content. You won’t find a better x’s o’s analysis anywhere, and I have to say I’m impressed at the way this group has grown into the powerhouse platform it has.
  • Subway Fan 4 Life
    By far the best platform for accurate Notre Dame football coverage!
    Bryan Driscoll is the most knowledgeable, passionate, and hard-working journalist covering Notre Dame football today. Each member of his staff bring something unique and very necessary to the platform. This is definitely my go to platform for Notre Dame football coverage.

    Great Podcast
    The #1 source for ND News!! The best recruiting, news and breakdowns going. The whole staff is great
  • NFLguy2017!
    Might be your kind of show.
    Do you like Twitter trolls and faeux positivity? This show might be for you.
  • tedbaland
    Not grounded in reality
    These guys talk with their own “pet” storylines and not with their brains. I’d look elsewhere for intelligent ND commentary.
  • Jmax60
    These guys are the real deal!
    I am fairly new to the IB boards and podcasting but I can’t live without this show! I have become an avid listener and love the intel. I really enjoy the shows where Brian and Ryan go back and forth. Keep bringing us Irish fans the best!!!!!
  • Dtrudie35
    Notre Dame Football
    These guys are the best, from Coaching analysis to recruiting and everything else ND
  • Ccrosby002
    Amazing!
    If you love Notre Dame football this is the place to be. Bryan and Vince are awesome at breaking games down and Shaun and Ryan kill it being on top of the recruiting trail. No nonsense or click bait, just honest analysis.
  • mccrog
    Great job great content

  • Oronhey
    Notre Dame Junkie Fix
