Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought you by our friends over at Fandau.

Happy Thursday. We're almost to the weekend. Have another really fun show coming your way. Part one, we're breaking down the commitment of Jackson Hill and offensive linemen, who was previously committed to UCLA, flipped to Notre Dame.

And then afterwards, we're continuing our state of the program series talking about the Notre Dame running backs, wrapping everything up with a mailbag today.

Looks like you guys already have a head start here in the chat. Thank you guys for getting

those questions submitted. You can feel free to continue to submit those as the show goes on.

Brian, another really fun show going on today here at Irish Breakdown.

Yes, very, very much looking forward to

today's show, Trev. Before we begin, I do want to say hello to my dad. My dad is watching the show,

I believe, right now. My dad wanted to obviously thank all of you that prayed for my dad last night.

He had surgery this morning. He had a procedure done on his heart. So we are very thankful that that

went well. It was,

I was told it's not a super intrusive process, but my dad's 71 and he's my dad. So I'm obviously going to worry about him a little bit, but he came through. He's now alert. And my mom just texted me like five minutes ago. He goes, she goes, she goes, he's awake and waiting for the show to start. So I was like, all right, cool. Let's get rocking and rolling. So I'm going to have to do

do our best here today to make sure that. She goes, he's awake and waiting for the show to start. So I was like, all right, cool. Let's get rocking and rolling.

So we have to do our best here today to make sure that we do a great show for all of you, but then also a little something extra for my dad. So I'm excited about the topic today, Trev. Very excited about the topic today. Obviously, we've got a commitment we're going to talk about. And then we're going to talk about the running back room. And it's part of our state of the

program, but the angle we're going to take today is a little bit different because I think

the running back situation is a lot different than the other positions. But of course,

Trevor, the news that you and I were talking about this weekend. I said something on Tuesday

show where I said, I think the offensive line room will be done sooner rather than later.

This is what we were waiting for. And then obviously we'll talk about what's next, but we knew

that this commit was going to happen. So a lot of fun show today.

Dad, try to do the best that we can for you today.

But Trev, I'm ready to rock and roll, my dude.
