Welcome to the latest episode of the Shamrock.

I'm Pete Sampson, joined, as always, by my co-hosts, Matt Fortuna in Chicago,

who went as Olaf for Halloween earlier this week.

And pleased to be joined by Grace Rainer multiple times South Carolina sports writer of the year.

Clemson reporter, recruiting reporter as well for the athletic race.

Thanks for making some time for us this week.

So sad that you will not be up in the press box with us so we can't do a live shamrock post

game on Saturday night slash Sunday morning but good to good to be with you and then talk a

little bit about Notre Dame Clemson part five of the modern era with Davos swimming oh I know I'm

bummed that we're not going to all be together I'm going to actually be in Knoxville, hanging out with some Tennessee fans this weekend.

So I'm very excited.

That could be either really, really, really, really fun or really, really, really dark.

You know, I'm slightly, I'm going to keep my head on a swivel.

I asked my dad, I was like, do you want to come with?

So I'm excited, but I am bummed that we won't be hanging out. I've been to Notre Dame once when I was a student, North Carolina played there and took an inexplicable 14 to zero lead at the end of the first quarter and then completely crumbled. And that was the only time I've been to Notre Dame. but that's a Marquise Williams game right throw rush and receive Christian McCaffrey we call it now

yes yes that was the Marquise Williams game, right? Throw, rush, and receive. The Christian McCaffrey, we call it now. Yes, yes, that was the Marquise Williams era. Fun, fun. Were you at the Syracuse-Clemson game? I know you wrote a couple stories after the fact. You were there. What, I mean, what? Nothing ever makes sense when those two teams get together and yet because it unfolded the

what this very specific way it did i feel like there's a whole rash of questions about clemson

now that we all thought were put to rest through the first seven games how has clompson dealt with

the hate to say fallout because it was a good thing and they won,

but how have they dealt with this, especially with the extra week to prepare for Saturday?

Yeah, I mean, as soon as DJ started playing poorly, I think nationally, it's kind of like,

is this guy falling at Clemson?
