Hi Marty and thank you. I think what Marcus Freeman is doing in the CFP National Championship Game aftermath is the same thing you're doing ... living the "question everything" mantra and looking for ways to improve the program. And he'd be doing the same thing. To me, the linebacker position group is really trending in a positive direction. The Irish are getting the depth, talent and development they need. Madden Faraimo will likely step right into Jack Kiser's spot in that five-man rotation. You also have Anthony Sacca, the Kia brothers, Preston Zinter, Teddy Rezac and Bodie Kahoun in the pipeline.

Eric, thanks for all your hard work and reporting during the season. I think we are still short some elite 5 star speed at certain positions. With this year’s success, can we capitalize and bring in more game breakers at WR and LB to bolster those position?

OK, let's get rolling ...

The "no drinking" rule has been rescinded for everyone but me until somebody makes me regret it.

Here are the rules.

As far as this week's chat ...

► Finally, at WSBT Sports Radio 96.1, we’re rolling through a heavy news cycle following Notre Dame’s College Football Playoff run. Darin Pritchett and I are together on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and each week moving forward on Weekday SportsBeat (96.1 FM, 960 AM, live streaming at wsbtradio.com). The weekday shows run from 5-6 p.m. ET. You can download all episodes as podcasts.

► If you missed the last episode of our aspiring-to-be-viral Notre Dame Football YouTube show, Football Never Sleeps, it keeps its shelf life long after the live presentation. We had a special Wednesday night edition this week, but we will be back in our normal Monday at 7 ET time slot next week. Remember, if you miss the live show, you can catch up anytime on YouTube. And if you missed our Postgame Takeaways Show after the CFP National Championship Game and went to see what the miracle of caffeine looks like, you can check that out on our YouTube Channel.

First, a couple of programming notes:

I'm back in the frozen tundra of South Bend, Ind., after experience, surprisingly, frozen tundra in Atlanta.

Welcome to a special Thursday/only mildly caffeinated rendition of Notre Dame Football Live Chat.
