Summary
Pete Sampson of The Athletic joins Andy and Ari to discuss the state of Notre Dame football heading into Marcus Freeman's second spring practice. As we record, the Fighting Irish still need an offensive coordinator to replace Tommy Rees. But they have a new QB1 in Sam Hartman who is happily deadlifting away. Can Notre Dame make a jump in Freeman's Year 2? What does Rees bring to Alabama? Pete gives his two-cents on Tuscaloosa's newest OC. Plus, Brian Ferentz's new deal makes Iowa must-watch TV.

Yeah, no offense, Pete, but, you know, I don't hear what it's, yeah, I don't, yeah, but okay, fine, let's just get that out of the way and then we can dive in, because I've got a lot of takes to get off on that. And they're probably the same takes as everybody else's, you know, nothing special, but I think I've got.
