A pleasant good afternoon to everyone out there

And Irish Breakdown Land.

I'm Vince Deario, that guy over there.

That's Brian Driscoll.

And we're back.

We're back in the saddle.

Ready to talk about some Notre Dame football.

Thanks for bearing with us this afternoon.

Appreciate that. Your patience is very us this afternoon. Appreciate that.

Your patience is very appreciated. Thank you. And we're going to have some fun today.

We are going to talk about some underrated Notre Dame players. And by underrated, it's guys we

don't talk about maybe as much as some other guys who have the potential

of being an impact player on the team, whether that's a rotational guy, whether that's a guy

that's already penciled in to be a starter. Some of those guys are on here as well. But guys that

maybe aren't getting the headlines when we think about, you know, impact players and, you know,

things of that nature. And so we're going to talk offense, defense, special teams. And then,

of course, we're going to jump into this is Thursday. And so our final segment will be

breaking down one of the Power Four conferences. And today, that conference is the Big Ten. And it's a controversial topic when you're

talking about Notre Dame. So I hope we don't get those guys in the chat today. But we are going to

break down the 2024 version of the Big Ten, which, as everybody is well aware, has swollen

to 18 teams and is going to be an interesting conference this year.

So I'm looking forward to that conversation.
