Sportsbeat: Eric and Darin Hour 1 - Thursday

Notre Dame Football Talk.  InsideNDSports.com's Eric Hansen discusses the best matchups for Notre Dame in round one of the playoffs, Madden Farimo and the impact Mitchell Evans could have in the post season.

Leprechaun Lunch - USC

Stop me if you've heard this: Notre Dame needs to beat USC (the bigger the point margin, the better) to make the College Football Playoff. Not just get a home game. They need to beat USC to even make it. Matt Eberflus has been fired about five weeks too late.

Leprechaun Lunch - Army

A YOOGE Notre Dame sports weekend is upon us. As long as the #6 Irish remember to push #19 Army around, that 100-year anniversary party for the Four Horsemen will be great! The voice of Notre Dame women's basketball, Sean Stires, joins in the second segment (23:36) to talk about the #6 Irish women'…

Leprechaun Lunch - Virginia

Virginia comes in feeling pretty high after beating Pittsburgh. Why? Pitt's a fraud! Do I really have to root for Georgia on Saturday night? Buyer beware on my NFL picks.

Leprechaun Lunch - Florida State

Remember when this game was supposed to be "THE GAME" and was going to decide some things for both sides? Yeahhhhhhhh, those were the days....

Leprechaun Lunch - Navy

Jim needs to find something better than ESPN to put on in the morning. It only makes him cranky. A high school team in Pittsburgh had to play with only 11 players... AND WON 68-0. Jim thinks he's turned a corner on his picks, which can only mean abject failure will soon rear its ugly head again.

Leprechaun Lunch - Georgia Tech

Jim talks Notre Dame/Georgia Tech. We still don't know which Irish team is coming out of the tunnel at 3:30 PM. WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON! Also, super-league proposals are coming out of the woodwork. There's also bets to made!

Leprechaun Lunch - Stanford

Jim Irizarry says that Notre Dame could have just as easily been in Stanford's shoes at 2-3. Stanford's play-by-play announcer Troy Clardy adds a touch of class to the show today to talk Cardinal football.

Leprechaun Lunch - #15 Louisville

#15 Louisville might be coming into South Bend better than the team that laid the wood to the #16 Irish last year. The Notre Dame defense could be the difference, but if they come out sleepwalking at home again, no dice. Also, bets!
