I.B Nation, welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast. Happy Wednesday.

You guys know what that means for us here at Irish Breakdown. It is by sell hold day, which is something that we like to do here for our premium message boards members.

You can see it scrolling down there at the bottom of the screen, boards that Irish Breakdown.com.

Essentially what it is, our guy, saltyia peanuts puts together a thread on the board and our premium message board subscribers will submit either a topic a scenario a question and after some discussion brian and i will talk about whether we buy the premise we sell it or we hold premise. Now, with that being said, this is strictly

for message board members. Brian puts together the cards before the show starts. Now, if for whatever

reason, you're a message board subscriber and you weren't able to get your question submitted

before, go ahead and throw in a super chat, but this is unlike a mailbag

where if you just submitted in the chat, we won't have time to answer it because we have so many

great submissions week over week. But with that being said, I am ready to jump into it today.

We were scrolling through beforehand and Brian texted me. We were talking about it a little bit

before the show. There's some really, really good submissions today.

And I'm excited to dive into all the different topics that we're talking about. We're in the bulk of the off season. I think now we're, what, 88 days until Notre Dame kicks off against Miami, which is exciting. The time is really starting to fly by. So we're getting close. there's some account and I'm not sure who the name of the person is

but there's an account a Notre Dame account and every day they put like a different highlight of

like a long touchdown run like a 95-yard touchdown run and it's like 95 days and then 94 93

so it's been pretty fun but yeah yeah, getting closer and closer and closer.

Love that. As much as I'm talking about the dogs. I better see the two-yard touchdown run. If you're listening, I don't know if that guy listened to the show or not, but when we get to two days away, you better put the two-yard touchdown run from the Orange Bowl in there. I'm just saying, not trying to tell you how to do your job. we're doing a great job, but I better see that.

I better see that.

I know our guy in the message boards, the immaculate extension will probably put something up when we're about two days out. So I'm excited to dive into it. The offseason is in the bulk of everything. Irish invasion is going on this Friday, which is another exciting thing that Notre Dame does this offseason. But before we get to get all to that fun stuff, I'm excited for Bysol, Brian, let's see you. Man, I'm always excited for Bicea Hold. You know, looking through the, there was getting a point in time, I think, kind of in April and May, where you and I were like, we're kind of going to maybe need to change things up a little bit on Baisal hold day because we're starting to get like a lot of the same submissions. Last week was really good. And then this week again, like a lot of great submissions, not a lot of retreads, really good stuff from you guys this week. So I'm like, okay, we'll keep rolling for now. So it was really good. So I'm ready to definitely dive into a lot of these.

There's no question about that, Travis, it's going to be a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Let's do it. Our guy, Salty always gets us started. That's kind of the privilege he gets from putting this thread together for us. So to kick us off today, buy sellhold from Salty. The hiring of Pete Provocco, Mike Martin, and Lauren Landau provide Notre Dame with the NFL level talent acquisition, training and media experience

that places them at the forefront of back office leadership and capabilities as collegiate

football increasingly moves towards an NFL model. I think that's very true. I don't know that

Pete Mavacqua is someone who is an NFL style guy,
