Welcome to the show. It's a beautiful day outside. It's Budweiser's Weekday Sportsbeat

Along with Irish Breakdown.com. I'm Sean Steyers. I'm joined by Vince Didario today. Vince, you

don't have your typical chipper sunny demeanor. Is it a sunny demeanor i mean that's debatable i think

yeah you know but you know it's my first day of school let's be honest school days that's right had to

had to work all day today and had to deal with some unsavory things already so it's like oh man day

that'll do it to you. You know what I mean?

Sometimes. Kind of used to summer and doing afternoon shows and like that's your biggest worry of

the day and like, that's not anymore, you know? Yep, we're back at it. I mean, it is August 13th. As

of today, we're 18 days away from Notre Dame and Miami kicking off the season

for those two teams.

Anyway, there'll be other games before that, obviously, but kicking off their seasons down in

Miami Gardens, down at Hard Rock Stadium.

I will be there, and I'm curious to see how sweaty I get while I'm down there. Rumor has it. It's going to be hot, Vince. I don't know if you heard that. Yeah, I feel like it's a broken record. I feel like we heard that a lot last year about Texas A&M. Not untrue. It was hot. No doubt about it. It'll be hot in Miami.

Just don't think that it plays quite the role that people thought it was going to play at Texas A&M and that it will play out in Miami.

Hydrate, hydrate.

That's what it's about.

I was telling Jesse the other day, we were talking about it.

And do you remember this was when you were on the Southman Adams coaching staff?

Jesse was still playing and there was a game at Marion.

And that was one of the, it was like,

might have been the first game of the season,

if not the second game of the season.
