Welcome to the show.

Glad to have you with us.

We are back after a whirlwind set of vacations.

I'm Sean Stiers.

Jesse Stiers is here as well as we head into the crunch of summer. We've been off for a week. Did miss a lot

other than some minor Brian Kelly drama. And now we're back with 17 days to go until the start

of Notre Dame football training camp. And as I always say, Jesse, that's the real line of

delineation that we're looking at.

That's the, that's the mark.

Everyone wants to talk about the start of the season, September 6th and all that.

I know, I know that's when the real football begins to play.

But we actually get eyeballs on the team 17 days from today.

And I, for one, am excited about that. You sound very excited.

It was a great week to take off if you ask me. There was really nothing going on.

Completely agree with that. Except all the Canadian wildfire smoke in the air. I think all of that has cleared up.

It got really bad over in Cleveland.

I know it got bad in South Bend as well.

But yeah, 17 days.

I can't believe we're already here.

It feels like those dog days are far behind us.

And the content is just going to be flowing.

It is. It's going to be flowing. It is.
