This is Irish Illustrated Insider.

Monday, March 22nd.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

We expect Pete Sampson from the Athletic to join us for segment two.

Tim, we've had, although we haven't had any official confirmation as far as when things start and when things

in, we've been using March 24th as a start date. We expected to be pushed back till Saturday,

March 27th. And then the blue goal game, because everything has been so compressed,

I don't think that they felt they had much of a choice but to push the blue gold game back.

It sounds like, again, we have not received official confirmation on this, but it sounds like the blue goal game will be held on Saturday May 1st.

Yeah, I was trying to do a little just remembering how springtime's out sometimes.

And this makes sense.

You mentioned March 27th should start it Saturday.

That would give them Saturday, Monday, Wednesday of the mandatory three no pad practice of spring ball.

It's three for spring and five for fall, unless that's changed in the last calendar year.

And then I think they'll take a week off with, you know, it's not a lot of students going home anymore for Easter break, but there is some time off for Easter for classes.

Then I think they will go from Wednesday to Wednesday without practicing, and then they're back.

But Brian Kelly loves that. He likes to get them out there.

This will be three practices instead of the one or two they sometimes have, and then all the coaches can review everything they've seen for that week,

and then you really hit the ground running with some practices the Wednesday after Easter.

Right, and, you know, of course Matt Bayless is handling the strength and conditioning.

It gets them ready for the start of spring drills, and then you have the delay.

Yeah.
