And we are ready to go.

And we are ready to go on this Friday.

Hope you're having a great one.

We are down to two days, just two days to go until the start of the Notre Dame football season,

Notre Dame and Miami.

Sunday night, the sixth ranked Irish, the 10th ranked hurricanes, a 730 kickoff right here on sports radio.

WSPT, Vince, let me just ask you this.

When was the last time there was this much optimism going into a Notre Dame football season?

That's a really good question.

How about 2006 maybe, like following that. I'm going to Charlie Wise. Yeah.

You had Quinn and Samarge, all those guys back and, you know, that whole deal. I think there was a lot of

optimism going into that year. Other than that, it's a really good question. Because it feels like after 2012 getting to the national championship game with as much turnover as there was the next year, I don't remember there being this much the next year.

Right.

Well, and Notre Dame has not done a great job of following up really good seasons with a really good season.

Yeah.

And so, you know, this is kind of, it's slightly uncharted territory, you know, that Notre Dame is kind of ranked where they are and has the expectations that they do and has the roster that they do. And, you know, we're going to see how Marcus Freeman and company operate under those kinds of conditions. But, you know, it's going to be fun to watch.

I feel very good about it.

You're right.

The optimism is high.

There's no doubt about it.

It is very high.

Optimism, borderline.
