[@greglismonjr1368]

Tom Zbikowski!! One of my all time favorite Notre Dame players!! I remember watching him perform that punt return against USC and I went crazy!! Great Interview

[@Pilney35]

Zibby's punt return TD against U$C in 2005 was all grit and determination.

[@markcarter7974]

We need more Zibby's on this current team. A kid with amazing passion and character

[@manuelbelmontes7039]

I hope Marcus see this ! ZT is a legend for Notre Dame football. The reality in the toughest he would pray would be great for a program!

[@dbrasco22]

One of my favorite players a true big time playmaker in big time games. I always wanted to play like him when I played fearless tackler timely playmaking

[@SpartanB88]

TZ is the real deal. It’s easy to be disappointed by your hero’s, and this guy actually lives up to your expectations. So cool. I truly hope he’s back in SB one day coaching.

[@thomasjeffries6884]

I’m 32. Life long ND fan. Zibby is my all time fave player. He shaped me into the player I tried to be in high school. So many great fun memories. And best green unis ever haha

[@robertbishop4094]

Tommy Z.... my all time favorite ND captain!

[@rodneysciba3152]

I literally still own my green #9 Jersey. It is a replica of the jersey worn for the 2005 USC game, and I bought it because of Zibby!

[@willieporter1491]

I still have that jersey too

[@woznite]

Ha was a personal friend of mine, I was blessed to lead his non profit, the Kronk Gym Foundation as its chairman....

[@timmaus8911]

Gotta have jimmy clausen on the show soon

[@azteclegendlit]

I love this guy. My only ND Jersey

[@garyb2392]

So awesome to get this kinda “personal” and very real interview with Zibby. Wish his nothing but the best.

[@kennygalli2208]

Hi everyone! Anyone remember Tommy Z ripping the ball out of the qb's hands and returning it for a TD vs MSU in 2004? One of many of his greatest plays! Love the channel and the content! Go Irish and God Bless!

[@porkchopexpress2437]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/paPNYZJrpd2Dfa8 38:47 mark. One hell of a play! Goolsby out there battling too.

[@kennygalli2208]

@@porkchopexpress2437 Thanks my friend! My Notre Dame Subway Alumni Podcast is coming out in February. Ill give you a heads up when it's out! Thanks again!

[@RickeyHaynes]

I met Tom and Jeff Samardijza night at a restaurant in South Bend it was the hoghtlight of the teeenage years❤

[@nicklassandro3227]

Great show! Would love to have Lake Dawson on the show.

[@Mike-126]

One of my favorite shows. Loved it.

[@porkchopexpress2437]

Two Illinois HS legends.. JCA and Buffalo Grove HS... I still remember Zibby in East Lansing as a sophmore I think, taking the ball right out of the hands of the MSU RB and taking it to the house for a 70 yard TD.. Like Charlie Weiss said.. Tommy is "All day tough".. Hell of a player. Great to see him after all these years. Good work Mike and Mike. 💯

[@michaelursone2037]

One of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen!

[@blakehaun972]

Tom is my favorite player off all time! I have a tommy Z ravens jersey. He was unbelievable. Wish he went to a team that played more of a defensive scheme he flourished in. The colts were gutter trash and the ravens didn’t utilize him.

[@coreynorman2316]

This is the type of content I would pay for

[@me36391]

Just listening to Z you can hear it in the voice of fire and passion that you just dont hear anymore. Shame, Know he could probably suit up and bowl over most in CF today. A man among kiddies today.

[@localsource3012]

My all time favorite ND player!! Zibby!!

[@WooRidersDg]

The nostalgia of watching zibbs and GOOLSBY, I got a great idea for this podcast we need to bring on all former Notre Dame players from all different era's, and let the football players just talked about their past experiences why they were in college playing football as teammates that would be podcast gold

[@NotreDameFightingIrish]

We had some technical issues getting Zibby on. If you want to skip to the 7:30 mark, that's when we're able to get him on

[@woznite]

This is an awesome conversation, lets schedule some more of these!!!

[@armandgallanosa]

Wow. Just wow. Thanks for great work !!

[@TRockett55IRISH]

Greg Mattison would be epic , how about one of his LB mates Derek Curry or Courtney Watson???? Jeff Faine on of the best Centres to play for the IRISH . Just an outstanding episode thanks for this boys .

[@WooRidersDg]

Zbikowski top-10 player all time for me to watch at Notre Dame, man he could return for touchdowns , just a heck of a player to watch

[@kevinfagan24]

Great show guys ☘️☘️ Ziby, your an all time fan favorite brother. Best of luck with your coaching career 🍻🍻

[@jeffslattery9158]

Zibby is one of my all time favorites. Tough as nails. Still have my green #9 jersey. Would love to see him back at ND as a coach some day.

[@williamperri7896]

Thank you guy! Julius Jones!!

[@rrydan4278]

Zib the effing man. Loved watching him play!

[@ndn4203]

I’ll never forget that osu vs notre dame game. I didn’t think y’all got you’re ass handed too you like tcu or us vs bama. Y’all fought hard af and a huge changing point I’ll never forget is when that osu player fumbled the ball and Tom took it to the house. Then they said he didn’t have control of the ball. To this day I call that a bullshit call. That was a huge changing point and I still think that was a fumble to this day.

[@kmack3571]

sorry I missed the live, Ziggy was always a favorite. Tough as nails.

[@matthewgaskey4954]

This was amazing!!!!!!! 🍀🍀🍀

[@timekeeper0712]

The 2005 Tennesee game was my first game ever attended. What a magical experience and an amazing game and yes we were in the end zone when Zibby returned punt. Great show guys keep up the good work. 👍

[@geoffcos]

Outstanding interview on both sides with these ND legends!

[@westword6558]

Great listening to TZ ! And shout out to KZOO ! Love to buy him an Oberon

Zibby I live in Kzoo it would be fucking sweet to have you on staff at Western Michigan ! I Wish you all the best !

[@BoogyRider]

I would have liked to hear more about the culture change when the head coach changed from Willingham to Weis.

Get the Shark. Jeff S.

[@jj-np6kd]

Shit Zib made an impact on me when I was growing up. I'd love to buy a few 9 jerseys from you to get some retrospective NIL

[@RK-fh7fx]

It’s amazing to me how so many supposedly top level coaches miss something that’s literally as plain to see as the nose on your face. Unfortunately for Tommy Z all the great coaches he had in major college football and the NFL missed what Tommy did best in a football uniform. Let me explain. I watched Tommy Z grow up. My son’s played ball with the Zibby boys. The younger one was on the same high school football team as Tommy. His high school career was legendary. He was easily the best player on the best team in the state of Illinois his senior year. He played quarterback but he wasn’t really a quarterback. He was an option quarterback running wizard! The ball was in his hands every single play and when he decided to run with it, which was quite often, his ability to make something out of nothing was beyond exceptional. Which brings me to my point. What position in football requires a courageous, tough guy mentality along with great open field running and make something out of nothing potential? Punt Returner. Ironically his greatest and most memorable play was THE punt return (against USC). Yet because he mishandled a punt or two the Ravens stopped giving him the opportunity. He had Devin Hester type ability as a punt returner. Many teams in the NFL coulda used a guy like that. The Ravens tried to use him as a kick returner but he never had the knack for that. Returning kick offs is quite a different skill set. It’s NOT broken field running, Tommy’s super power. He had a 5 year NFL career. About the average. It coulda been 10 and legendary if those guys “in the know” had only opened their eyes and looked at some tapes of his open field running abilities.

[@woznite]

Tom, do you remember Emanuel Stewart?

[@richd7178]

Autry Denson Julius Jones

[@mikewhit4298]

Taking it to the house against usc tommy z. And the boxing ko's a true gladiator

[@richd7178]

Wish list Tim Brown or Bettis

[@WooRidersDg]

I believe rylie mills has a chance to be dominant he has the size and freakish ability for his size.i want to see Alexander EHRENSBERGER get more playing time he's a senior now he is a workout warrior has the size has the length and I think he can be special at the defensive end position every time he's got playing time he's produced sacks and pressures play the kid from Germany he's wired different and I believe he could be a good asset to this team he has no ego when he's all about the team. Also there were a few Notre Dame walk-on players who are ballers just cuz they don't have the recruiting status this is about winning it's not a popularity contest come on coach Freeman do the right thing

[@ThrowLeather]

Nothing motivates you like a Power Point 😂😂😂

[@firebirdrivera8478]

T Zib!

[@mikedrosieko5]

Get Lou Holtz..... Reggie Brooks

[@kevinfagan24]

Brady Quinn

[@indyprostringers2051]

He was on the previous show. Watch it.
