It is Monday, February 9th, and you the Irish fan is reconnected with Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim O'Malley, joined today by Tim Priest of Irish Illustrated, John Bryce of Football Scoop.

And guys, since our last podcast, we've got a Super Bowl played with two massive contributions from former Irish defenders.

Notre Dame made two coaching hires official updated its roster,

including new numbers, what I presume are sporadically official heights and weights, I hope.

And we now enter weight and C mode regarding the finalization of the Irish coaching staff

because we were in the wake of the Super Bowl, and that's what happens these days. T.P.,

where do you want to start? Yeah, I'm going to start with the Super Bowl and Riley Mills and just like how excited. I was with a bunch of people that we all got pretty excited when we saw that it was Riley Mills making the sack. I didn't really know. He played four regular season games and it didn't. He came off IR to start playing. Yeah, I mean, you didn't really know just how much he would be able to contribute in this season.

But, yeah, really great for him.

And like I said, if anybody listened to our podcast, I mean, they, and they saw Julian Love make the pick.

They had to think of T.O.

Immediately because that was one of his prop bets.

And again, I was with a group of

people that got pretty excited when Julian Love turned it upfield. Because I got in on that prop bet, too.

I got a text from Chuck Freebie. I must have been 20 seconds behind. I got a text for Chuck Freebie.

It just said money signs. I was like, oh, I think I know what play is coming right now.

Go ahead, J.B.

No, that was a strong performance.

Those guys, you know, before he got hurt in his final year,

excuse me, Notre Dame, Riley Mills was playing the best football of his career, really.

And so not the most compelling Super Bowl,

but certainly some superlatives there as Notre Dame
