All right and get started.

All right, and go ahead and get started as listeners hop in with the street, Samson.

Thanks for our to everyone for being here today on Friday afternoon.

We got a flight later this afternoon.

Fortunately, direct from South Bend to Greenville, Spartanburg, which is, I think, a rarity to fly direct anywhere for a Notre Dame road game, but appreciate it this weekend.

If you've been with us before, thanks for being back.

If you're new to the Shamrock Live, it's basically rational sports radio where I get to interact with you guys.

And, you know, we get to have a conversation about, you know we get to have a conversation about you know

whatever we want to talk about relative to the Nuran football. I think this format sort of works

best if you use sort of the the audio function where you hop in the queue, I call you to the

stage and you can ask your question live that way. If you don't want to do that,

I can take questions straight from the chat. So it's to you guys to however you want to ask the

question, but we'll give it a moment for people either to post questions in the chat or hop

queue and then, yeah, then we can get started for for real all right our first question is from

Dan D and once so what in the world is happening in Ann Arbor what do you hear are the

likely short and long-term outcomes so unless you've been hiding under a rock you know

what's going on in arbor in terms of like the surface of Conor Stalions and scouting.

And I mean, it's my understanding that he's been to Notre Dame Stadium before to scout a Notre Dame opponent.

I might have said this on a previous Shamrock Live or a different podcast, but I still feel

this way. I don't think that the scouting scandal is going to keep Michigan out of the

college football playout this year, but I would be surprised if the Big Ten didn't at least do

something to this team this year with Jim Harbaugh.
