Today's Rapid Fire topics include: USC/Chad Bowden trolling Notre Dame (again) with a Mike Williams highlight video, should Notre Dame find a way to include both USC and Michigan on future schedules, NCAA basketball tournament expansion, Rich Rodriguez bans Tik Tok dancing at West Virginia, Aaron Rodgers and more. Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Sean Stires and Vince DeDario start with their thoughts on a social media video produced by Southern Cal that features former Trojan receiver Mike Williams and features 11 highlights of Williams - all of them against Notre Dame. * With the future prospects of USC continuing its series with Notre Dame in mind, what if instead of playing USC every year, Notre Dame would play home and home for two years with USC and then two years with Michigan and then keep alternating it that way every two years going forward. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Notre Dame men's basketball saw its season end in the second round of the ACC Tournament today against North Carolina. Has the needle moved forward in Micah Shrewsberry's first two years? * There's been talk over the last few years about expanding the NCAA basketball tournament. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said this week that he's in favor of expanding the field to 76 teams. The NCAA looked at a proposal last year that would expand the tournament by having play-in games for all of the 10 through 12 seeds. Do you Buy or Sell it? * If Aaron Rodgers is choosing between the Steelers and the Giants, what's the choice? * New West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez has banned his players from TikTok dancing. Good idea or bad idea? * A Connecticut lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require movie theaters to disclose what time the trailers start before the movie and what time the movie actually starts. Do you Buy or Sell it?

The Friday Rapid Fire edition of IB Nation Sports Talk has the three-man band of Sean Stires, Vince DeDario and Jesse Stires covering a slew of topics, including: Which are you more confident in next season: Jaden Greathouse will have at least 700 receiving yards or Drayk Bowen will have at least 100 tackles? Thoughts on the future of Notre Dame baseball. SEC and Big Ten athletic directors left their meeting in New Orleans this week saying they are in favor of changing seeding for the College Football Playoff in 2025. If they make a change, the seeding would go directly off rankings 1 through 12 rather than how it was done this year by guaranteeing the highest ranked conference champions got first round byes. It's not a done deal though because all 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua would have to vote unanimously to make any format changes for this season and this season only. So, on a scale of 1 to 10: How confident are you they will make the change for 2025? If they make the change to go directly off seeding, either for this season or for 2026 and beyond when they begin the new CFP format, that could mean Notre Dame could be eligible for a first round bye. So, would you rather have a first round home game or a first round bye? Fill-in the blank: Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin has announced his retirement after 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. The thing you will most remember him for is BLANK. Will Notre Dame women's basketball get the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament? The NHL's Four Nations Face-Off was a smashing success as an alternative to their All-Star Game. Could Major League Baseball come up with something similar to replace its All-Star game? ESPN informed MLB it that the sports network will opt out of the last two years of its TV contract with baseball that includes Sunday Night Baseball, the Home Run Derby and first round wildcard playoff series. ESPN would have paid MLB $550 million per season. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says it's a mutual parting of ways because he doesn't think it's beneficial for baseball to accept a smaller deal to remain on a shrinking platform. Do you Buy or Sell Manfred's spin? Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that the New York Yankees have amended their facial hair policy to allow their players to have “well-groomed beards”. Rank the NFL TV broadcast teams: Al Michaels/Kirk Herbstreit Kevin Burkhardt/Tom Brady Joe Buck/Troy Aikman Mike Tirico/Cris Collinsworth Jim Nantz/Tony Romo Greg Olsen was bumped for Tom Brady on the Fox No. 1 crew. Which booths would Olsen make better if you subbed him in for one of the analysts in the booth?

Irish Breakdown answers listener/subscriber submitted questions about Notre Dame women's basketball on today's show. IB's Sean Stires, who is also the radio announcer for Irish women's hoops, is joined by Vince DeDario to answer questions. Some of today's questions include: * What needs to happen during the tournament for the team to win the national championship? * Has freshman post Kate Koval exceeded expectations, or simply met them so far? * Who is out of eligibility after this year, and who is likely to leave early? In other words, who will likely need to be replaced for next year? * Is the “we're all good” attitude on playing time, and ball possession starting to tarnish? Seems like the Louisville, and Va Tech game there were a handful of times, with an open shooter, a player had a face like no-no I'm getting mine. * Has Sonia Citron's role been reduced a little. Seems like she rarely gets 30+ minutes. * How much fun is it to watch Hannah Hidalgo? On TV it's like did she really just do that. Does it look more impressive in person? * Not surprised Liatu King is playing well. Do you think the offense should balance a little more to the inside? * This season ND football took a very aggressive approach to forcing depth to play in order to keep the team as fresh as possible for the playoff season. What does NDWBB do to get the players in peak physical condition for the postseason? Do these concerns impact Niele Ivey's substitution strategies? If yes, how do concerns affect her strategies? * What is the status of Emma Risch? Should we be concerned with her durability? Will she be able to take some minutes off the trio of Hannah, Olivia Miles & Sonia down the stretch? * Per ESPN's stats, ND has committed 325 turnovers in 21 games (15.47 avg per game). Having watched every game, the turnovers often come in bunches & are caused by various issues. Sometimes the lineups don't look comfortable working together yet; sometimes ball handling's an issue; sometimes passes are off target or are made without seeing a defender; sometimes the mental focus seems to drift. What can and should NDWBB be doing to cleanup this issue? As one example, to get you started, Cassandre Prosper has had dozens of turnovers where a pass goes offer hand(s) and out of bounds. Seems to me she needs to do some of those Pistol Pete drills where you rotate the ball around your torso & tap the ball from hand to hand. * With UCLA absolutely rolling & South Carolina looking dominant in all their games except the double digit loss to UCLA, how does ND matchup against those teams? * Niele Ivey has done a good job of utilizing our depth this year, but it's been hard to keep track of which players are playing on the court at the same time. Does Niele tend to play a limited number of lineups that have the same players in together at the same time? Or has she mixed and matched? * Liatu King has been phenomenal in many ways this season. Her addition to the team seems like a near perfect marriage based on her strengths & the role NDWBB needed King to play. Yet, she's only 20 for 44 shooting FTs, which is 45.5%. Once the postseason comes, teams with depth and size may play extra physical & force the referees to call fouls which could put Liatu on the line a lot in close games. Is NDWBB doing anything to improve her free throw shooting? Can ND sub in bigger lineups anytime she gets to the FT line in order to increase their chances of getting a rebound on her missed FTs? How else can ND minimize the damage of her missed free throws turning into easy rebounds for the other team? * I was trying to come up with a comparison for Hannah, and the best I came up with is that she is a female Allen Iverson. What are your thoughts? * Would you rather a backcourt of Jackie Young and Arike Ogunbowale or Miles and Hidalgo? * Do you think the team is having a hard time adjusting to the Hannah's playing style and Olivia's playing style. They are both amazing floor generals and at the same time very different players. * What is Coach Ivey's strategy for recruiting? It seems like she targets a few high level players and either gets them or not. Also her classes seem to usually be pretty small. * Also how are we losing out on a lot of top 100 in state recruits? * Lauren Betts UCLA-If ND ends up playing UCLA in the tournament, how much of a problem will she be (with her size 6'7” and game)? * What is our biggest weakness as a team? * What team or teams do you think will give ND the toughest matchup?

Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football to talk about on today's Rapid Fire Friday edition of IB Nation Sports Talk. Some of the topics Sean Stires, Jesse Stires and Vince DeDario discuss on today's show include: * Fill-in the blank...New Notre Dame defensive coordinator Chris Ash needs to BLANK in his first season to make you feel good about his hiring. * ESPN's move to exercise their option with the ACC through 2036 includes Notre Dame playing more games against Clemson, Miami and Florida State. The Irish would play at least two of those three teams every year in rotation. Who benefits most from the arrangement: Notre Dame or the ACC? * Do you want programs like FSU, Clemson and Miami to be contenders every year to give Notre Dame the chance to have a better resume after they play them or are you content with just stacking wins regardless of how good they are? * Is Jaden Greathouse a breakout player candidate for next season or has he already broken out? * Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame women's basketball's new Allstate Insurance TV commercial that features Hannah Hidalgo, Sonia Citron, Maddy Westbeld, Liatu King, and Liza Karlen is BLANK. * Bill Belichick says they should rename the Lombardi Trophy, which goes to the Super Bowl winners, for Tom Brady because you can't win games without good players. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that Tom Brady announced today that he's starting a weekly newsletter called “199”. He'll talk about sports, wellness, business, and other topics. * Dan Patrick says the NFL should mark the jerseys of Pro Bowl alternates because too many alternates get in and it shouldn't count on their resumes. Do you Buy or Sell it. * On a scale of 1 to 10...What's your interest in this weekend's Pro Bowl Games that take the place of what used to be the Pro Bowl? * We answer a listener question about our Mt. Rushmore of TV shows.

We have thoughts on that. * Who would play Sean Stires, Jesse Stires and Vince DeDario in a movie?
