Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought to you by Irish Illustrated.com.

It's Monday, August 6.

I'm Tim Priestler with Tim O'Malley and Pete Sampson.

On behalf of the entire football press corps across the country,

thank you for the start of college football preseason.

So we don't have to

speculate anymore without anything to go on. We've had two Brian Kelly press gatherings and a full

practice Friday at the Culver Academy. So we have a little bit to go on. We may be misguided

in some of the things we still say, but at least we're not just speculating purely on

with nothing to actually see.

I had nothing left to speculate on, so I really needed that to start, man.

There's a lot of Monday columns that had some speculation in it.

I needed camp to start. I would like to thank them, personally.

That was in, I think I walked out of Culver on Friday when we were down there thinking like,

okay, nothing really has

surprised me down here like maybe maybe our speculation wasn't as far as we had thought over the last

six seven eight nine months but um you know we're back out there on wednesday they should be in

full pads so i think their first day of full pads is tomorrow down at Culver and then they come back on

Wednesday so it um i think watching practice Day of Full Pads is tomorrow down at Culver and then they come back on Wednesday.

So I think watching practice, we all watch a lot of Brandon Wimbush.

We all watch a lot of the freshmen, which are kind of, it's a pretty standard operating

procedure for the first practice.
