  • E149.3: Orange Bowl Reaction, Does ND Immunity To Conference Pressure? & More!
    Jan 10 2025

    Sam & Tony are wrapping up the week with their take on the Orange Bowl!

    It was a classic battle that harkens back to the Paterno/Holtz games of the late 1980s and early 1990s!
    They are talking a lot about that, but also if the National Championship berth gives the Irish the ability to not give into the pressure of joining a conference!

    It's a great way to wrap up the week! ENJOY!
