And just like that, coach speak is underway. Another edition. Woo-hoo! There's Corey, there, Asira. I am Jeff Ben. He's chopping the clips up. He's getting them ready. We are ready to go another week. More coaches. Angry, sad, happy, foolish, wise. We'll find out. Pat Narduzzi. Bit of a badass. I kind of like Pat Narduzzi. He's going to lead us off. Has he not been? Yeah, Pat and Arduzzi. It's been a while since we've been down to, up to Boo City, PA. I don't know if you guys remember that. Coach Speakers, but he had some interesting comments. We have a couple coaches on here who have some interesting thoughts on Notre Dame. So Pitt's getting ready to play Notre Dame.

This is Pat's thoughts on that matchup in the first clip. He's asked an interesting question.

And the second clip is a follow-up to what he said in the first clip. So stay tuned.

Absolutely not. You know, it is not an ACC game. I'm glad you brought that up. It's not an

ACC game. You know, I gladly get beat 103 or 110 to 10 in that game. They got a hundred

up on us as long as we win the next two after that. But again, our focus is on Notre Dame.

Clearly.

I just want to ask you about it off the bat.

On Monday, you made a comment that got a lot of national attention.

You'd rather lose a Notre Dame by 100 if it meant you could win.

You want to clarify that or follow up on that?

You know, just trying to take stress off our team.

I don't like pressure and I misspoke.

So that's what it is.

Next question.

Okay.

He doesn't like pressure.

That's interesting.

What a weird way to frame that?

That's funny.

Why do you think he thought it was okay to say I'd be fine losing 110 to 3 or whatever to do? I think I know, Ira. All right. I think he thought it was okay to say, I'd be fine losing 110 to 3 or whatever to Notre Dame. I think I know, Ira. All right. I think he's trying, A, obviously, I think there is a component of this, like, hey, I'd rather win the ACC, all that. That's fine. But I think he was trying to, like, kind of belittle Notre Dame a little bit. Like, it's not this big game that you guys feel that it is just because it's

Notre Dame.
