Brian, in the next part of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to by our friends over at Fanduel.

Still talking Notre Dame, but now we're going to talk Notre Dame scheduling. And this is more of something that we personally would like to see. This isn't like an intel of like, hey, keep an eye out for this, being added to the schedule. This is more of a conversation that we want to have around the teams that we want to see Notre Dame play more on a regular basis. And we separated it into two different buckets. One of them are familiar faces,

0:42.7

rivals that we want to see on the schedule more consistently. And then the second part of that

0:46.3

conversation is teams that they might not necessarily have that history with or a current rivalry

0:50.9

with that we want to see on the schedule a little bit more consistently.

0:56.5

And so that's kind of where we begin this.

0:58.4

We get a lot of mailbag questions about it.

0:59.7

We get some buy-sell holds about it. It's going to be a fun one.

1:00.6

We thought we'd have some fun with this. Like, you know, who are the Notre Dame rivals? And there's a lot of talk about Notre Dame schedule and what the schedule should look like and who should be on it or who shouldn't be on it.

They're never coming off the schedule.

1:44.0

Okay.

1:44.2

So they're there.

1:45.2

Boom,

1:45.5

you've already got Navy.

1:47.0

You've already got a 12-year deal with Clemson.

1:49.2

So like that's that's kind of done. So like we won't talk about them. After that, what are the three traditional rivals that you want to see back on the schedule every year?

2:02.9
