Welcome to the show.

Glad to have you with us here today.

It is Budweiser's Weekday Sportsbeat with Irish Breakdown.com. Hope you're having a great one. We are, we're just going to jump right in. We've got a little mailbag stuff that we'll do in a little bit on the show. We'll answer some Notre Dame football questions submitted by listeners in our YouTube chat, but we're just right off the bat.

For anyone watching on the YouTube, you can see that is not Vince, that is not Jesse,

that is not Bobby, go down the list, that is not Brian.

There are a lot of people that is not, but who that is with me on the screen right now,

one of the all-time greats, not just at Notre Dame, but college football as well, a college football Hall of Famer, a Super Bowl champion, a Notre Dame alum, of course, as well. And currently of CBS Sports, the great Aaron Taylor. How are you today, sir? Sean, I am great, man. If I was any more excited, I couldn't stand myself.

I could smell the tailgate smoke going already.

It is.

A few short days from kickoff, man.

This is the best time of the year.

I know.

We're counting the days down just 11 days till Notre Dame kicks off.

And, of course, we've got other college football week zero going on this weekend.

We've got football in Ireland, once again,

with a couple of big 12 teams going at it. There's a ton of things that I want to talk to you

about. But let's just start with the fact that you, you know, including your new YouTube series,

I guess I should mention trench life,

which we will get to specifically here in a minute.

The Joe Moore Award, though, your offensive line coach, of course, when you were at Notre Dame,

but you founded this award.

And I've got to be honest, I'll plead complete ignorance.
