Published: July 21, 2023, 10:27 p.m.

Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football talk heading into the final weekend before the Irish open fall training camp. Today's show starts with thoughts on Friday's commitment of California wide receiver Logan Saldate to the Irish.  Other topics include: * Lane Kiffin comments from SEC Media Days. * Irish women's basketball players Hannah Hidalgo and Cassandre Prosper at the U19 World Cup in Spain.  a discussion on if Marcus Freeman used up all of his "free passes" with last season's upset losses to Marshall and Stanford.  * If Tyler Buchner doesn’t win the starting job at Alabama...do you Buy or Sell that him leaving Notre Dame is better off for the Fighting Irish in the long term? * If you could put on a 'Mission Impossible' mask to look and sound exactly like someone else, what Notre Dame football player or coach would you pick? * It’s been more than a year and a half since Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU and he keeps getting questions about comparisons between the two. Which is more true: It’s time for the questions to end or it’s time for Kelly to stop answering them? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff said today that his conference is the strongest it’s been in two decades. * The sale of the Washington Commanders is official and there’s a report that the new ownership could change the name of the team. Do we Buy or Sell that they should? * Nick Saban and his wife recently went on a trip to Italy that was a 50th anniversary gift to them. Do you have any friends or family who would gift you a trip like that? * Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen says the Big Mac is the best fast food burger. Do we Buy or Sell that?  *We take a few listener questions on the Irish as well.
