I would personally like to invite each of you to join the Irish Illustrated Insider pregame party, 12:30 ET, this week. But your admission to this event—the second best shindig of the weekend to be sure— is contingent upon a podcast question submitted below that I find either entertaining, curious, thought-provoking, or all of the above.

Coveted Question #9 is available to the Twitterati on today's Irish Illustrated Insider Podcast. As the Reebok Blacktop Ad of 1993 once mused "You come Strong, or You Don't Come at All."

Great stuff by Drew on a Tier 1 ND defender and playmaker to date
Luke Talich wasn't a starter at the start of the season, but by now, everyone expects him to be an impact player. The person who knew it first was Luke. He took a risk walking on at Notre Dame, which is "one of the greatest decisions" he ever made. 247sports.com/college/notre-…

This is astonishing on @AggieFootball:
If Texas A&M had never fired Kevin Sumlin and they continued giving him $2 million raises every 4 years and he kept his 66.2% win percentage, the Aggies today would have saved $102 million and had two more wins 👀 #AggieFactThursday

Brock Purdy says NFL quarterbacks can’t actually see where they’re throwing nearly 40% of the time, and explains why processing information is more important than having a strong arm "My quarterback coach, Brian Griese, the last couple years, he and I talked about that. He played 11 years, his dad’s Bob Griese. But we got talking about how really it’s 60/40. You can see about 60% of the time, and the other 40% you really can’t. I mean, it doesn’t matter how big you are." "He goes, that’s why it’s so important when it comes down to knowing coverages, knowing scheme, where our players are supposed to be, how many steps they’re breaking, and where the ball should be over a certain backer. All those things, man, it matters." "And that’s why guys, you know, if you go to a combine and all those things, you’re just throwing on air, and yeah, you look all good with a strong arm and fast, jumping, all that stuff. But when it comes down to 11-on-11 and you got guys that are a foot taller and you can’t see, it comes down to the processing." "Like before the play, I know that this safety is probably going to rotate down. It’s going to be one high, and I got one hitch, no more than that, to rip it where Deebo’s supposed to be, like just inside the hash. And there’s a backer that’s also got a 40-inch vert that I got to put it over. That’s what’s crazy, all those things when you’re fitting it in over the backer and underneath the deep safety."

Week 1 isn't over just yet, but on Sunday Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price will meet as pros for the first time. Earlier today, Price was asked about the match-up. “It’ll be special. We even talked about it, how we want to maybe swap jerseys or something if we can. It’ll be a very special moment, and I know that a lot of Notre Dame fans and Notre Dame people are looking forward to that moment.”

Notre Dame QB coach Gino Guidugli lost his father, David, last week before the Wisconsin game. He spoke about his father's legacy on Wednesday. "I wouldn't be where I'm at today without my dad."

It's the first Thursday of the regular season, Sept. 10, at Irish Illustrated Insider. You know what that means? I'm taking any questions on any topic--aside from those myopically focused on the CFP games to be played 111+ days from today--below. Fire Away!

Thank you for the sacrifices, the laughs, the tough love, for the lives you made better along the way and most of all, for being our father. We are going to miss you every single day. ❤️

We finally have a statement about that controversial ending, sir Great. What layout and font should we use? Definitely “back cover of a 1980s young adult mystery paperback”
