Summary
Mike Golic Jr., one half of the GoJo podcast and former Notre Dame offensive lineman, joins Pete and Matt to discuss the Marcus Freeman era at ND, the Fighting Irish's o-line versus Ohio State, and Tommy Rees and the offense. Mike also pulls back the curtain on Notre Dame's 'Hangover' inspired uniform reveal that he acted in. Before all of this greatness, the guys catch up on CFB news, namely, the expanded CFP. Does a 12-team format help the Irish?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the latest episode of the Shamrock. I'm Pete Sampson. |
| 0:14.0 | Joined, as always by my co-host Matt Fortunu. We're no longer atop Ohio Stadium after midnight, |
| 0:18.4 | trying to make sense of Notre Dame's 2110 opening week |
| 0:22.1 | loss to Ohio State to help us further in that processing we Michael at |
