As far as this week's chat ...

► Finally at WSBT Sports Radio 960, I’m part of the Notre Dame Football pregame shows with Tim Grauel, Jim Irizarry and Blue & Gold teammate Tyler Horka. The new expanded show kicks off with 3 1/2 hours of news, analysis and special guests live from the iconic Linebacker Lounge in South Bend on Saturday ahead of the NC State game. We’ll start our coverage at 11 a.m. ET. You can listen locally at WSBT-AM 960, Sunny 101.5 FM and 106.1 FM in Southwest Michigan. And it will be live streaming on wsbtradio.com.

► The Inside ND Sports Podcast has been rebranded as the Third & Gold Podcast. Going forward the pod will be available on all the podcast places you found us before as well as our YouTube Channel. On our most recent episode, we caught up with Lamar Mickey, the father of former Notre Dame cornerback Jaden Mickey. We talked about Jaden’s harrowing injury the week before the ND game, his decision to enter the transfer portal and his decision to turn down a big-money offer from USC to transfer there. We also talked with Lamar about how the family is honoring Jaden’s mom.Lamar’s wife, Nilka, since she passed away from colon cancer in December of 2023. This week’s podcast drops Thursday.

► If you missed the last episode of our aspiring-to-be-viral Notre Dame Football YouTube show, Football Never Sleeps, what are you doing with your life? Seriously, the show keeps its shelf life long after the live presentation, so you can catch up now or later on our YouTube channel. We’ll be back next week and every week, Monday at 7 p.m. ET, for another presentation of Football Never Sleeps with Tyler James co-hosting with me. We’ll also have our Postgame Takeaways show for you to have with your Sunday morning coffee. And check out some great shows on the Blue & Gold YouTube channel as well.

► On July 1, Tyler James and I made the move to the On3 network and blueandgold.com and joined some amazing teammates. It’s proven to be a great move for us and, I believe, for our subscribers as well. And if you’re a potential first-time subscriber, you can take a one-week test drive for $1. That’s seven days of our premium content, plus all the value you get from a national team of writers and content creators, as well as access to every team site in the On3 network.

Before I forget, next Wednesday I have a coverage conflict, but we'll still have the chat. We're just going to start and finish earlier ... so 10:30 a.m. to about 1:30 p.m. ET next Wednesday.
