So that's going to do it for our talk about hoops, or at least this section of our talking about hoops.

Tom, you're ready for a little bit of rapid fire?

Let's go.

All right, man.

So let's just jump right into this thing.

So we're going to start off with a little bit of football.

We'll talk a little basketball.

Who knows where we're going to go from there. So the first question, there's still another day that Notre Dame players can jump into

the portal. We've already seen a handful of guys take advantage of that opportunity. So on a scale

of 1 to 10, how surprised are you at the names that have already jumped in? I'm going to Animal House right now, and I'm quoting Dean Warmer for John Blutarski's

grade point average.

My surprise level is 0.0.

As we said earlier in the show, it's the way of the world.

Unless Jeremiah Love jumps into the portal, then I may be a little bit surprised.

Fair.

But it's free agency.

If you can go, you might as well go.

And that's what we've seen.

It doesn't surprise me.

Anybody on Notre Dame football is in the portal.

It won't surprise me in the offseason if somebody from Notre Dame basketball is in the portal.

That's the way the game is played today.
