🏈 FOUR NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL DADS. ONE STAGE. REAL STORIES. NO FILTER. ☘️

The Two Sports Dads Podcast went LIVE from Brothers Bar & Grill in South Bend, Indiana, for a special Notre Dame Football weekend edition!

Hosts Quincy Faison and Jeremy Bowen sat down with four Notre Dame football dads for an inside look at what it really takes to raise athletes competing at the highest level.

🎙️ Our Special Guests:

• Leonard Moore's Dad – The journey behind one of Notre Dame's standout defensive backs.
• Tionne Gray's Dad – The road from Oregon to Notre Dame and embracing a new chapter with the Fighting Irish.
• Jaden Greathouse's Dad – The sacrifices, expectations, and family support behind a Notre Dame playmaker.
• Luke Talich's Dad – The hard work, determination, and family values behind the Fighting Irish journey.

From recruiting battles and family sacrifices to the pressure of game day and the pride of watching their sons run out of the tunnel, these dads share stories you won't hear in a typical postgame interview.

This isn't just about football. It's about fatherhood, family, sacrifice, and raising young men who represent something bigger than themselves.

From overlooked recruit to the winningest starting quarterback in Notre Dame football history — Ian Book’s story is about betting on yourself, earning your opportunity, and WINNING when it matters.

On this episode of Two Sports Dads, Quincy Faison and Jeremy Bowen sit down with former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book for a conversation that goes far beyond the stat sheet.

Ian takes us inside what it was REALLY like to be QB1 at Notre Dame — the pressure, the quarterback competition, the criticism, Brian Kelly, the College Football Playoff, and one of the greatest nights in Notre Dame Stadium history: the double-overtime victory over #1 Clemson.

We also talk about his journey from being overlooked as a recruit to becoming Notre Dame’s all-time winningest starting quarterback, making the jump to the NFL, and the lessons he learned along the way.

Ian Book arrived at Notre Dame without the hype of a five-star quarterback.

He left with 30 wins as a starter.

But the records only tell part of the story.

This is the story of the competition, doubt, pressure and mentality behind those wins.

This is Ian Book — unfiltered.
