Back from my, not that harrowing, but very long drive from Blacksburg to South Bend.

Joined as always by Matt Fortuna. We're going to do a little mid-season review of the Irish.

But Matt, your biweek plans are way more exciting than mine. So why don't you clue our listeners

in on where are you headed on Saturday? People must have listened late Saturday night because I got a text

from our colleague Doug Farmer saying, when you're in Vegas, bet on this game, this game, and this

game. Brother getting married, going out to Vegas Wednesday night through the rest of the weekend.

Meridame has an open date, so that was conveniently planned.

I wish I could say planned, but it was a stroke of fortune in the Fortuna household.

And it looks like it's not the most exciting slate of college football games on paper,

which means that it will be absolutely chaotic the way this past

weekend was. I think there are only two meetings between top 25 teams, one of which involves a

two lost Texas team. But that means there might be money to be made while I'm out there

at the casino. So we shall see. You know it. Yeah. It's probably a little more exciting than me

watching youth soccer on Saturday afternoon, but considering I've missed every single one of my son's games so far, I'm really looking forward to just kind of hanging out. I'm sure there's a line for that in Vegas as well. Yeah. Yeah, their shirts are self-bud orthopedic sponsored. That's like sort of the company on the logo.

So they call themselves the bone crushers, which like the kids don't get the irony of that at all.

But that's second grade humor for you.

Notre Dame at midseason.

Irish are 5 and 1, ranked in the top 15.

I think that we could correctly say that we both felt like this was about exactly where

Notre Dame would be.
