Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * On a scale of 1 to 10...How much differently do you feel about Notre Dame’s quarterback situation heading into this year compared to a year ago? * Desmond Howard said today that if Notre Dame beats Texas A&M this week you can write them in ink to be in the College Football Playoff. Do you Buy or Sell that? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Paul Finebaum said today that he thinks Notre Dame will lose to the Aggies because of the A&M home field advantage and because Mike Elko has the upper hand because he knows Riley Leonard’s shortcomings. We have some questions posted by a subscriber recently on our New Champion's Lounge: * Who's the first Notre Dame player you were a huge fan of? * What was your first big moment you remember from a ND Game? * Who is your most under appreciated ND player of all time? * What one single play would you change from a ND game? * Who is on your Mt. Rushmore of ND Football? * There’s always talk about which college coaches have the hottest seats heading into the season. But, which college football coach has the coldest seat heading into this season?
