Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * We discuss comments from Marcus Freeman on Irish safety Xavier Watts. * We discuss more comments from Freeman on Notre Dame reserve defensive linemen Sean Sevillano, Cole Mullins, Devan Houstan, and Brendan Vernon. * On a scale of 1-10...What chance do you give Notre Dame to move up to the five seed by the end of the season? * On a scale of 1 to 10...What’s your confidence Notre Dame would beat Ohio State if they had played this year instead of last year? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that before going on to an 89-60 win, Notre Dame men’s basketball’s season started by falling behind 2-0 after Irish forward Tae Davis tipped a Stonehill missed shot into the wrong basket. * The Chiefs are 8-0 after Monday night’s overtime win over Tampa Bay. Would you rather see a three-peat by the Chiefs this season or see someone else win the Super Bowl for the first time? * Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzula says there’s not enough fighting in his sport anymore. “The biggest thing that we rob people of from an entertainment standpoint is you can’t fight anymore. We should bring back fighting. What’s more entertaining than a scuffle? How come in baseball they’re allowed to clear the benches? How come in hockey they’re allowed to?” Do you Buy or Sell Mazzula?

0:13.0	Let's do it.
0:14.6	A lot of good questions.
0:16.0	And we in,
0:16.4	we out tonight.
0:18.1	Now I've got to find my rapid fire questions and see what I've got here. So,
0:23.6	Marcus Freeman today talked a little bit about his, one of his best players, Xavier Watts.
0:32.4	God is just continuing to improve his skill set, right? He has all the talent in the world. Now he's improving at his skill set as a safety in terms of tracking the ball in terms of making tackles and those type of things.
0:46.3	The thing I love about X the most and that he's really improved. That is his vocal communication. He's a leader. He is a problem solver. He gets guys lined up. You see him all

1:46.5	And as I kind of grow in my profession is the more you can be vocal and explain things and teach things to other people,
