Let's roll into part number three, I believe.

No, part number four, excuse me, of the Friday Free For All Mailbag presented by our friends at Fanduel.

Having a great time.

I didn't realize we are a part further on than we are.

So a lot of great questions.

You guys are bringing it today.

And I can only assume it is going to continue down that road.

Brian, what do we have next on the docket?

From Joseph Barrett, who will Notre Dame replace for the 28 Texas game?

That game is obviously not happening.

Sark and UT do not want it.

A, you don't know it's not going to happen.

B, if it doesn't happen, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I right now give zero, you know what's about what Sark may or may not do in two years.

Is he even going to be the coach in 2028?

If they pee down their leg again this year, you know, how much longer? Exactly. You get these giant $40 million rosters and then you don't do something with it. You're not going to be there very long. I have no clue what college football is going to even look like in two years, much less who's going to play each other. Great point. It's a fair question, Joseph. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you asking the question. It's in the news. He's talking about getting out of the game. This is exactly what Lincoln Riley did for two years before they finally bowed out of the game. And so, you know, I think they're posuring because they want the game because it's a moneymaker. But then, you know, he is basically admitting we're soft and we don't think we can get into the playoffs without, you know, doing this. And I'm like, Georgia had way less talent than you did. And they ran the table in the league two years ago, including beating your freaking brains in twice. You know, it's just, it's a soft mindset. It's Sark is a soft coach with all due respect. He's in a mentally and emotionally soft coach. And I'm disappointed because I had expectations for him, but he just is. I know. And if they back out of it, they back out of it. And then we can address who they would play instead of them then. We still have two full football seasons to worry about before I start thinking of who we'd want them to play in 2028. I would wait until they

actually decide it and then, you know, Notre Dame will have some options. They always do, just like

they had BYU ready to go. Exactly. When USC kept acting like little wusses. So I feel pretty

confident that they will not be replacing them with a San Jose state or something along those lines like USC did. It'll be more of a BYU, you know, that kind of, you know, and the second year of that contract when, you know, Notre Dame goes down to Texas, they also play Alabama that year. You know what? So like, they'll find somebody going to be. Right. No idea. Who knows. That's exactly right. Who knows? So, yeah, they'll find somebody. They'll find somebody. Contrary to what the national media wants to tell you, there are plenty of schools out there, big-time schools that want to play Notre Dame. It's not a, well, don't schedule them. We don't want to schedule Notre Dame. Let's screw Notre Dame, blah, blah, blah. Because at the end of the day, it all comes down to the almighty dollar. When Notre Dame comes to town, you sell out. Right. And there's all kinds of people in your town that are going to make money. Even Texas will make more money playing Notre Dame than anybody else. That's a reality. And they understand that. Because if they didn't understand that they would have already backed out of the game or they never would have scheduled to begin with, it's not about all of that. It's about if you can't not lose to four and eight teams in your own league, and if you can't not lose by 25 to the good teams in your league, and they've gotten blown out by Georgia twice now in the regular season in the last three years.

And so you're such a soft team in your own league that you can't, you're just guarantee,

hey, we're going to lose two every year.

So that's it.
