0:00.0	Hi and hello, my fellow football Americans. We've got Lucy Rodin and Jeff Schwartz on the way to help make sense of the football weekend. Real quick, though, don't be surprised or upset by Notre Dame fans in your life. Looking in the mirror is not the gilded classes thing. If something's wrong, it's got to be someone else's fault, don't you know? Have you noticed the blame already shifting away from Alabama and
0:21.3	onto James Madison? They don't really belong among us, do they? I think the Irish deserved

1:14.5	Kids, stop being so dramatic.
1:16.5	Meanwhile, the walls were literally pulsing and whispering.
1:20.4	Update, the grown-ups on the show no longer doubt what the kids were telling them.
1:24.8	You see, sometimes kids are telling the truth. And like Fernando
