up next here on the Irish Breakdown podcast,

brought to by our friends over at Fandu.

We're talking about the SEC.

Common theme here, what we've been talking about today is just we've reached that point in the offseason where things are kind of going off the rails and people are itching for football to be back.

Notre Dame and USC are just kind of lobbing nades across the country.

And the ACC is just really in shambles right now because Notre Dame has all the financial

backing in that conference. And a lot of the coaches and athletic directors don't like it.

Let's pivot and talk down south and talk about what's going on.

And this one at least is more like interconference.

It's not necessarily the SEC taking shouts at Notre Dame.

This is more of like a state of the union type of deal for the SEC more so than

leave Notre Dame's name out of the type of deal.

There's been two interesting things happening in the SEC the last month.

And I want to address both of them, Treb.

And the first one, we don't actually have on the schedule, but I do think that this

should be part of the conversation. And we'll circle back to that at the end.

But one of them is there's been a dialogue going on with SEC coaches about what has happened.

Like, why did we lose our hold? There a very fascinating conversation that kirby smart had

with two guys at a golf outing and um had some conversations about that and and they're all

trying to figure out what happened and we've talked a little bit about that like here we have an

an idea of what we think happened why we think the SEC lost their stronghold.

But there's that conversation, and that's a healthy conversation to have.
