| 0:00.0 | Welcome for the Shamrock Pete Sampson atop Notre Dame Stadium with Matt Fortuna after |
| 0:15.1 | Norems 3514 just whipping of Clemson. |
| 0:39.6 | A field stormy at the end. I appreciate all the loyal Shamrock listeners screaming at me down there. All right. Yeah, there was. I was by the Clemson side. I didn't get too much luck over there. We had some very, very fired up listeners down there who said they were looking forward to the show. So here you have a shamrock bump in their life this week, clearly. |
| 0:40.7 | That's what I'm looking for. Notre Dame Stadium got a shamrock bump from the sellout after we talked about how it wasn't sold out. |
| 0:44.9 | And awesome atmosphere tonight. |
| 0:48.0 | You know, the field storming of two years ago was cool within the context of the times we're living, this felt like just a purely |

| 1:34.1 | The only way that could have been a crazier scene is if they put the overtime. |
| 1:38.0 | And we joked about this, I think, on a previous show recently about how we watched LSU Alabama in overtime like 10 years ago at Wake Forest. |
| 1:45.5 | The only thing that could have made that funnier, this is night funnier and crazier, |
| 1:48.9 | but if they put it on the video board with 80,000 screaming fans on the field. |
| 1:53.1 | Great atmosphere. |
| 1:54.3 | Awesome. |
| 1:55.0 | Just day and night all around. |
