Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by Fandul.

Happy Friday, everybody.

This game day eve is our girl Karen likes to say.

Hopefully she pops in the live chat at some point today.

But Notre Dame plays tomorrow at noon.

Sean, we don't have to wait until nighttime to watch Notre Dame kickoff.

Hopefully there's no weather delays.

Hopefully we can just watch a Notre Dame football game from start to finish than any sort of hiccups.

But it is Friday.

You know what that means for us here at the Irish Breakdown podcast.

We are talking RTCF today.

And we have a bunch of different topics coming your way.

And it feels like, and I understand why, there's been some negative spin on a lot of different things around Notre Dame.

Rightfully so.

They didn't get off to the season that we wanted to.

But we wanted to talk change.

We wanted to talk some turnarounds.

So today on the RTCF show, we're going to start in part one talking about which recruiting class at Notre Dame will be the most impactful in this turnaround that they can have this year. We're going to be talking about classes 22 to 25. And it's not as clear cut as you would think. And then we're also going to talk about some players that will have the biggest role in this turnaround. Part two, when we dive more into the team, we're going to talk about the biggest

fixes and adjustments on offense and defense. Now, we're staying away for personnel changes. We're not

talking fire this coach or get rid of this coach or start to hire this coach. We are talking

moving forward, not just against Arkansas. What does the offense and defense need to do to let us

know that they're starting to turn the corner? And then in part three of today's show, we're going to go over, this is a fun weekend of college football. A lot of awesome games, Sean. And I, for one, I'm also happy that Notre Dame plays at noon because we're going to get to watch some of the night games on Saturday that should be pretty telling and have a lot of playoff implications moving forward. But we kind of sorted them into two buckets. And we're talking teams with the most to prove and the teams with the most at stake. I think that's going to be a really interesting conversation. And if we have time for it, if we have time for it, we're going to do a mailback at the end of the show. Can't guarantee it because we're two guys that like to talk quite a bit, Sean. Nothing wrong with that. But make sure that as the show goes on, you get in your questions, your comments, put a little MB for mailbag or a mailbox emoji to let us know to set that question aside. Super chat to get bumped up to the top. We'll go for a little bit of time after the show if we have enough time left.
