This is Irish Illustrated insider Tim Priester, Tim O'Malley, Pete Sampson, talking Nordane football here on Monday, April 19th.

And of course, remembering our dear friend and associate in the business, Lou Samoji.

I go way back with Lou, for those that haven't heard, and I think everybody in the

sporting world, the Norden football world, heard about his unfortunate passing on Saturday.

And we, of course, will reflect on the greatness and the uniqueness of Mr. Lou Samoji.

But starting with Nordane football today, 10 practices in the book as of Saturday,

the two-thirds mark and surprise, surprise, we're still talking offensive lie because it was

a heavy topic of conversation with Brian Kelly on Saturday following practice.

Yeah, there's a lot, a lot there.

I mean, I think that it was like follow-up after follow-up after follow-up. Like, there's a lot, a lot there. I mean, I think that it was like follow up after

follow up after follow up. Like I basically was at the end and had to ask him to repeat something

he already said just because I was like, are you sure? Like you're saying Jared Patterson

could play guard? Could you say that one more time? So I'm not misinterpreting it.

Yeah, I think that they have more, probably more questions today than they had when they

started because Fisher and Spindler have impressed so much.

But Brian Kelly also said, I thought, pretty clearly, like, all right, let's get to the answer phase of spring practice.

We got to get something done in the last five where we can't go into summer where we are today.

I wonder if they can do that because I thought Josh Lug made a great point when he said, and this is obviously coming from

his position coach, the spring is not about winning the starting job or cementing all our starting

jobs. It's about getting everybody out there and getting as many reps as possible. As long as the

coaches think to themselves, all right, we have two candidates here, one, one, one, and two candidates

here, or something like that.
