This is Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Thursday, September 2nd. We are three days away from

Nordame opening the 2021 season. Lordname visits Doke Campbell Stadium. Somebody wrote Doke Walker.

I almost said that. Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Nordham, a seven-point favorite over under 55 and a half.

I'm joined by Tim O'Malley.

We expect Pete Sampson to be joining us, and I see him now, so he is on board.

Tim, just some of your thoughts as you go into this game and where you think this game is headed.

Well, I think you start to overanalyze everything now.

You realize, hey, they brought in two veteran SEC defense events.

And that can be a problem because Notre Dame has two new tackles.

You know, you look at what you kind of overlook the fact.

This is you mentioned at the first game since Bobby Bowden passed away and their emotions

are going to be running really high. And then the flip side, you just think of all the redshirt

freshmen that started on Florida State's offensive line and Dylan Gibbons, who wouldn't

have started at Notre Dame and you think of Notre Dame's strength being the front seven. And

the number one thing Florida State has going for them is emotion and atmosphere and a fresh start. And the number one thing Notre Dame has going for them is emotion and atmosphere and a fresh start.

And the number one thing Notre Dame has going for them is their culture over five years and they don't need a fresh start.

They are walking in and they have played in worse against much better than this.

We are indeed joined by Pete Sampson from Missiana Regional Airport.

Getting ready to head out.

Oh, you're on mute also.

I'm coming to you from Terminal D.

The Dallas Fort Worth Airport.
