Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...You feel BLANK about Notre Dame’s playoff chances right now. * An IB subscriber has concerns about what Notre Dame Stadium would look like if the Fighting Irish host a College Football Playoff game since the game would be run by the CFP and not the school. We share our thoughts on that prospect. * Which is the worse loss...Alabama falling to Vanderbilt or Notre Dame falling to Northern Illinois? * We look at the preseason over/under win totals for Notre Dame opponents coming into the season and see where they stand. * Notre Dame women’s basketball player KK Bransford announced she’s going to redshirt this season as she deals with a lingering leg injury. We discuss the impact. * Fill-in the blank...MLB putting “Strauss” decals on batting helmets for the playoffs is BLANK. * San Diego Padres reliever Jeremiah Estrada says he doesn’t think the Padres should have to play game five of their ALDS series against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium if the series gets that far. Estrada says MLB commissioner Rob Manfred should not allow it after Sunday’s game had to be delayed for 10 minutes because Dodgers fans were throwing bottles, beer cans and baseballs at Padres players. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Thoughts on The Blair Witch Project.

0:00.0	Well, Vince, this feels like it's, you know, leading into another conversation.
0:17.4	So let's take it with this.
0:19.7	Are you ready for rapid fire?
0:21.3	Let's go. Rapid Fire time. First time of the week for me. It's just weird saying that on a Tuesday.
0:26.8	That's very true. That is very true. That's why it's Monday Day 2, I guess, just like Steinie said earlier.
0:34.7	Fill in the blank. You feel blank about Notre Dame's college football playoff chances
0:39.3	right now. I feel positive about it. I'm not exactly going to go out and bet the mortgage

0:51.0	what is it, four, five, six, seven games.
0:56.6	But I feel good about it.
1:00.2	I mean, look, they didn't even play this last Saturday, and all of a sudden they're in the college football playoff.

1:18.4	but if they win the rest of their games, they're going to get in.
1:21.2	And that's exactly what's happening.
1:22.6	Now, I would not have predicted Notre Dame to be the number 11 team in the country
1:26.5	on October 8th after
1:28.3	losing in Northern Illinois last month. I would not have done that. But because of the parity
1:33.7	around them and the losses that happened, you know, last Saturday, I feel positive about it.
