Yes it is. They discuss football, and make predictions. I love when Lee Corso puts on the helmet. I love the enthusiasm of the crowd as they get ready for a long day of football.

No one is forcing you to watch it.
AG only watches FoxNews and InfoWars.

Ignorant post. Rockne was never afraid of them. It was Feilding Yost who refused to play them after losing to Rockne, and basically had them blackballed from the Big 10.
Actually, it was a Frank Longman coached team that beat Michigan in 1909. This was particularly notable as Longman had played under Yost.

Yost got so pissed that he canceled the 1910 game while the Notre Dame team was on the train to Ann Arbor.

And while Yost hated Rockne (and vice versa, I am sure), Rockne did not come along until later.

ND didn’t blackball Nebraska. And Navy wasn’t exactly a slouch program back then either. And the reasons ND still plays navy have little to do with their relative strength.
Notre Dame quit playing Nebraska when Knute Rockne's wife got upset at how the Irish were treated in Lincoln. It was at her suggestion that Notre Dame started playing a team further west. It was originally going to be Cal, but ended up being Southern Cal.

My bad. I knew that and forgot to delete it. But Rockne never ran from them. He never got the opportunity to play. Although I believe both Yost and Rockne coached track where Yost continued to accuse Knute of cheating and basically trying to make his life miserable.
