Welcome back, everybody back everybody to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to by our friends over at Fandul.

Happy Tuesday.

Brian, we are now kind of in the bulk of our offseason content.

And to keep us rolling here, we're breaking down Notre Dame schedule today.

It's been a hot topic of conversation throughout the off season today.

We're breaking it down by quarters, diving into the meat and potatoes in Notre Dame's 2026 football schedule.

Yeah, I'm excited about it, man. As we mentioned last week or in yesterday, we're kind of officially

kicking off our run to the season, right? Where we're going to, you know, we've done kind of post-spring analysis and we've

done some other things, but we're really diving into sort of the intro to let's like,

you know, run this thing up, right?

So today we're going to kick off, we're going to kick off obviously the schedule breakdown.

And then tomorrow, one thing we're going to do starting tomorrow is in the past,

we've done like full day breakdowns of an opponent.

Spend all day on Wisconsin.

And the numbers didn't do great because I don't know that people want to listen to two hours of talking about Wisconsin or whoever else. So what we're going to do is we're going to have it as part of our

midweek rundown. We'll include an opponent each week and spend a little time on that opponent

as part of our midweek rundown. So very, very much looking forward to that, Trevor, and we're kicking all that off this week. I'm excited. We started on the message board in the front page, the free front page at Irish Breakdown.com, we started our sort of doing the same thing, right? We're kind of our rundown. We've done our quarterback position preview. We're releasing our player profiles. We're going to actually do a player profile on every player on the team and have it attached to the roster when the official roster comes out. So it's that time, Treb. It's like, okay, it's June 1st. You know what I mean? Well, now it's June 2nd. But yesterday is when we started it. June 1st is on a Monday. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly to say, let's drive into this, you know, and get into these things. So I'm excited and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, we're

excited about it. We're going to, you know, today we're going to talk about the schedule and, no mailbag today. We're going to kind of just talk storylines and some intriguing aspects of the schedule. Talk about it from a big picture standpoint. Then we're going to, as we always do, break it down by quarter and have some fun with it, Trev.

So, man, I'm ready to rock and roll.

I know you are.

Every day, I'm like, all right, Tr, as we always do break it down by quarter and have some fun with it trev so uh man i'm ready to rock

and roll i know you are every day i'm like all right treb you're ready before i hit starting he's like you know it i'm always ready i'm like i'm going to keep asking because the day that i don't ask and just start you're going to be like dude i wasn't ready yet but treb's always ready to go man especially when it comes to Notre Dame football.
