Welcome to the show.

Glad to have you with us here today. It is Budweiser's Weekday Sportsbeat with Irish Breakdown.com. I'm Sean Steyers. I am joined by Jesse Stiers tonight. We have an abbreviated show because we've got Notre Dame men's basketball versus Duke coming up at 6.30, the pregame anyway, tip off at 7 o'clock

at Purcell Pavilion. Our old buddy Tom Noy is going to join us in the second segment of the show

tonight to talk a little Notre Dame men's basketball. Are you fired up, Jess? We've put this off for so long. This is the first time

we've had Tom on this year. I had to sit back and think about it. And I'm like, we're running

out of time. We've got to have him on. Yeah. And I think this is the most crucial time to have Tom on

because depending on how you judge the season and Micah Shrewsbury,

I think there's a lot of, a lot of question marks still out there that need to be,

what's the word I'm looking for?

Addressed.

Addressed.

Addressed.

One of those.

Yeah.

I think you're absolutely right. So we'll do that with tom coming i mean

we've we've kind of debated some of them over the last few weeks and tom obviously has covered

it closely for uh more than three decades at this point for the south pin tribune so tom's

going to be uh jumping in with us from percell Pavilion tonight at about 5.30.

So we've got the Notre Dame spring football practice schedule today.

We received it from Notre Dame.

Few of the highlights, Marcus Freeman's pre-spring press conference is going to be Wednesday, March 18th,

so that'll kind of be the unofficial kickoff. First practice is two days later, March 20th.
