| 0:00.0 | It's our two of Budweiser's weekday sports meet with Irish Breakdown.com and that means, Vince, are you ready for rapid fire? |
| 0:26.5 | Oh, hour two, baby, rapid fire. Here we go. Got some good stuff today. It is real good stuff. A little troll action potentially. I'm excited. |
| 0:35.4 | All right. All right. I like it. I like it. Let's see where it goes. |
| 0:39.2 | So let's talk about officiating, Vince. Back in the great week, the ACC crew that was working the |
| 0:47.5 | Notre Dame game was brutal. Marcus Freeman said after the game that they sending clips of plays to the ACC office or whatever other conference, the officiating crew, comes from to have a look at. |
| 1:00.6 | I asked him today what that process is like, how quickly they get a response, what the dialogue is like, how often, you know, how quickly the feedback comes back and how often they get, |
