Brian diving into part two of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to by our friends over at Fanduil. We've got a mailbag to take us home today. And basically the rest of today's show is going to be dedicated to answering your guys' questions around, you know, really any college football topics. Notre Dame specifically, but it's the offseason. We were known to answer the occasional food question, movie question, all that,

0:38.0

all that good stuff. But spring practice does start later this week. So if you want your

0:41.0

questions answered, be sure to put an MB for mailbag or a mailbox emoji that lets us know to

0:45.4

set that question aside. And then Super Chats also get bumped up to the top. And you can also feel

0:51.2

free to throw those in as well. Yep, absolutely, Trev. So speaking of that, so I did tell you guys to hold off on getting some of your questions in about the press conference until we were done. So now you can get those in. If you have some questions about the press conference, we'll get those in now, too. But we did have a super chat from my guy, Raymond Harden, and

1:11.1

Raymond said, thank you all for the prayers yesterday, love this community.

1:17.9

I.B. is the best. So we'll continue to keep you in our prayers, Ray.

1:29.1

who married a woman of Italian heritage.

1:31.6

So he feels the great parts of that, but then also the challenges of that, especially

1:37.5

early in the marriage.

1:38.5

But I appreciate you, man, and we look forward to you keeping us posted on how things are going.

1:43.6

So let's get back to the top, Treb, and let's kick it off with our guy, Black Irish 8-6-4. Brian, who would be in your top eight safeties at Notre Dame? Here's my list. Kyle Hamilton, Aloheed Gilman, Jalen Elliott, Harrison Smith, Matthias Farley, Drew Tranquil, and Elijah's shoemate.

2:03.5

So I would not have Drew Trankel on there.

2:08.6

I think Drew was like, so part of it is Chris is I would imagine that you count Drew Trankel's year as the rover as a safety.

2:12.0

I don't.

2:12.7

I kind of count that more as like a linebacker the way that they used it.

2:15.9

So I count Drew as more of a linebacker.

2:18.7

Just off the top of my head, obviously Xavier Watts. I'm kind of working front to back.
