Buckeyes Fight the Irish, Head Coach Niele Ivey Talks ND Women’s Basketball, & NFL Relationship Conspiracy Theory - EP 76

The two Notre Dame grads are coming off a disappointing loss over the weekend to Ohio State. Despite the mistakes made all around (mostly the coaching staff), Golic still believes in Sam Hartman and his team. Smetty is quick to come to her Fighting Irish’s defense discussing the ways in which they outplayed the Buckeyes; the game coming down to an electrifying end in the final seconds. What’s next for Notre Dame this season? They sympathize with Colorado and Deion Sanders losing to Oregon in a blowout game and Golic doesn’t want people to discount what Coach Prime has accomplished for the Buffaloes. Switching gears…Mike brings up the last three undefeated teams left in the NFL. Jess is going with the 49ers bandwagon out of that group, even after Miami put up 70 on Denver. Is there any fixing the Broncos defense at this point? Does Smetty have confidence in her Steelers to make a playoff run? Head Coach Niele Ivey of the Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team joins the show to discuss the offseason, gaining players in the transfer portal, and going up against Dawn Staley in Paris in November. The three discuss how the game has changed and why people are more invested in women’s basketball. Smetty asks Ivey who she cheers for out of her former players in the WNBA. Mike and Jess wrap up discussing the relationship that has taken the internet by storm and why Jess doesn’t quite believe the hype. See you next week!   Follow Mike and Jess on Twitter!
