Happy Friday, College Football Morning Announcements Style

2002 Miami vs. Florida State brought back all of the memories for me last night.

Congrats, you’ve made it to Friday.

I’m not sure if you’re working from home, still having to go to your place of employment or if you haven’t stopped going into work but you’re almost to the weekend and sometimes you just have to give yourself a small pat on the back for making it there.

Last night I was working on a couple things and scrolling channels, only to come across a college football game from when I was 16.  It took me a bit down memory lane with the NFL talent that was everywhere and it made me really want to go back to my parents basement and play NCAA Football ’03 with my high school friends.

That game is the basis of most of this Friday’s podcast.  Enjoy some discussion on the great Florida State vs. Miami rivalry, Sean Taylor and Greg Reid love and please tell me how a certain Hurricane was so loved nationally.

We’ll be in touch on here with a few things throughout this Friday but enjoy your weekends.

Recapping All Notre Dame NFL Draft Picks

Cole Kmet “stays home” during quarantine and lands with hometown Chicago Bears.  Just how bad have things gone at tight end there that he’ll be counted on to fix?

This weekend saw six players from Notre Dame selected in the 2020 NFL Draft with another hand-full being signed to free agent deals.  Who landed in the best places to find success and which of the later picks or free agent signings will have the best chance of making a roster?

In our podcast with myself and Jeff Feyerer we discuss the landing spot of every Notre Dame player this draft season.

Cole Kmet “stays home” during quarantine and lands with hometown Chicago Bears.  Just how bad have things gone at tight end there that he’ll be counted on to fix?

Did Chase Claypool get selected by the best franchise in football to get drafted by if you’re a wide receiver?

How much did Julian Okwara’s injury effect him falling to the third round and how many stories were better this weekend than him getting to play pro ball with his brother in Detroit?

We also analyze the rest of the picks:  Troy Pride, Jr., Khalid Kareem and Alohi Gilman before breaking down all of the undrafted free agents as well.

What Was the Biggest Takeaway from the 2019 College Football Season?

But what did we learn about college football in 2019 that will apply in 2020 and beyond?

The 2019 season has come and gone and when we look back on it we’ll remember various things:

Nationally it was the Joe Burrow and LSU show as the Tigers reworked their entire offense in one off-season and came back with the best offense the game has ever seen.

For Notre Dame it was a year that saw 11 wins and a dominating bowl victory but it’s obvious the bar has been raised for the program after the lack of excitement from the fan base that would have killed for a season like this just a decade ago.

But what did we learn about college football in 2019 that will apply in 2020 and beyond?

Myself and Pete Fiutak of College Football News recorded our latest episode of the College Football News Podcast mid-week and discussed exactly that.

In this episode you’ll hear us discuss the LSU offensive overhaul, how the transfer portal improved college football in 2019 and how the importance of elite quarterbacks at the collegiate level has changed in recent years, a conversation that very-much applies to Notre Dame’s wishes for 2020.
