Hey there, y’all! So, you wanna listen to them Notre Dame football games, huh? Well, it ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. Even this old gal figured it out, and if I can, you sure can. Let me tell ya how.
First off, the easiest way, and the way I mostly do it, is the radio. Yeah, the good ol’ radio. You know, that thing with the knobs and the antenna? Now, I ain’t gonna lie, findin’ the right station can be a bit of a pickle sometimes. They keep changin’ things up on us old folks. But you gotta listen for somethin’ called “Westwood One Sports.”
They’re the big shots when it comes to sports on the radio. They got all sorts of games, not just Notre Dame. They got the NFL, that’s the professional fellas, and they even got college basketball, men and women. So, if you hear ’em talkin’ about “Sunday Night Football” or “Monday Night Football,” you’re in the right place. Just keep listenin’, and they’ll get to the Notre Dame game eventually, Lord willin’.
- Look for “Westwood One Sports”
- Listen for mentions of NFL or NCAA games
- Be patient, sometimes they talk a lot before gettin’ to the game
Now, another way you can listen, and this is for you fancy folks with them newfangled gadgets, is on the internet. They call it “streaming” now, which sounds like somethin’ you do with a creek, but it ain’t. It’s listenin’ on your computer or your phone. My grandkids showed me how to do it, though I still mostly stick to the radio. Too complicated for this old brain.
You gotta search for “Notre Dame football live stream.” That’s what them young’uns told me. And then you gotta find a website that’s playin’ the game. Sometimes they have these things called “apps” too. I don’t know nothin’ about them apps, but my grandson has a whole bunch on his phone. He says there’s apps for listenin’ to the game too. Maybe you can ask your young’uns to help you with that. They seem to know all about this internet stuff.
Sometimes, them websites and apps, they’ll even tell you what radio stations are carryin’ the game. So, if you’re havin’ trouble findin’ it on the radio, you can look it up online. They call it “radio station info.” It’s like a cheat sheet for findin’ the game on the radio. Handy, I tell ya, real handy.
And don’t forget the local stations! Sometimes, if you’re lucky, a local station near South Bend, where Notre Dame is, you know, they’ll carry the game too. You gotta listen for them announcers talkin’ about the “Fighting Irish.” That’s what they call the Notre Dame team. If you hear “Fighting Irish,” you know you’re in the right place. It’s usually on AM and FM, whatever that means.
Now, they also have this fella, Tony Somethin’-or-other, who talks about Notre Dame all the time. He’s got a whole show about it. And he even has the coach on sometimes, Coach Freeman. My grandson says that’s a good place to get information about the team. If you wanna hear what the coach has to say, you gotta listen to that show. I don’t listen much. Talking heads, I say.
And let me tell you, there ain’t nothin’ like listenin’ to a Notre Dame game. The excitement, the roar of the crowd, even if it’s just comin’ through the radio. It gets your heart pumpin’, I tell ya. Especially when they’re playin’ a big game, like against Texas A&M. That’s always a barn burner!
So, there you have it. Radio, internet, local stations. That’s how you listen to Notre Dame football. It ain’t hard, just gotta poke around a bit. And if this old gal can figure it out, you sure can too. Now go on and enjoy the game! And don’t forget to have some snacks handy. I like some peanuts myself. Go Irish!
Key things to remember:
- Radio: Westwood One Sports is your best bet.
- Internet: Search for “Notre Dame football live stream” or “radio station info”.
- Local Stations: Listen for stations around South Bend, Indiana.
- Tony Simeone’s show: For coach insights and team information.
- Big Games: Don’t miss those big matchups!
And remember, even if you miss the beginning, it’s better to listen to some of the game than none at all!
