This is Irish Illustrated Insider with Tim O'Malley.

I am Tim Priester.

It's Monday, September 9th.

It is game week once again.

Nordame plays New Mexico for the first time in the history of both schools.

This Saturday in Notre Dame Stadium, Bob Davy will not be back to coach the Lobos

against Notre Dame in the Notre Dame Stadium. Nordame, a 37-point favorite. They moved up to

number seven in the poll, opened the season at number nine, moved up to number eight after the Louisville

win in Florida's struggle. Florida was the one that dropped. And now Michigan

struggled against Army in Notre Dame benefits and moves up to number seven. Your thoughts, before we

get into Notre Dame and New Mexico and Colquimette and those things, which we will address

in this first segment.

Your thoughts on Michigan Army.

I think we all tried to watch that.

It was neither you nor I were surprised at all that Army gave them a good game.

I don't know why the point spread would be 23 points.

That is ludicrous.

I didn't think Michigan was a top 10 team coming into the season. So if you want to move them out of the top 10, that's fine. But the people that moved them out of the top 10 moved them on the top 10 when they lost, or they beat a top 35, just like Nordim should beat Navy when Navy's really good.

And when Army's really good, Michigan should beat them.

And I just don't think this is the reason to, there's a lot of reasons you can bag on a team or a program, but I had nothing.

I think Army's really good.

No, they are. You know, there were some, I mean, Michigan fumbled, they lost three fumbles in the first half.
