Irish Breakdown discusses a few subscriber submitted questions about Notre Dame quarterbacks:

* Ian Book wins the Heisman if he had Notre Dame's current coaching staff for four years instead of Brian Kelly's staff. We in or We out? 

* After CJ Carr procures the backup spot this fall, both Steve Angeli and Kenny Minchey jump to the portal leaving ND to go to the portal AGAIN (but for a backup) and or bring in Anthony Rezak off the walk on squad. We in or We out? 

* We in/out that Gino Guidulgi is the guy to get the true potential out of our supremely talented QBs coming through the pipeline. We in or We out?

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Notre Dame and Michigan State announced a home and home football series today. The Irish will host the Spartans in 2026 and then make the trip to East Lansing in 2027. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much does this move the needle for you?

* Excluding USC since they will always be on the Notre Dame schedule, what three Big 10 teams would you like to see on a continuous revolving loop on future Notre Dame schedules?

* From a listener: Why is Notre Dame an underdog in its season opener at Texas A&M?

* Derek Jeter was named on 396 of 397 ballots when he was voted into the baseball hall of fame. Just ONE voter left him off the ballot. Jeter gets asked about it all the time, but he recently told the SI Media Podcast with Jimmy Traina that he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore and that the person who left him off the ballot should be the one who has to answer to it. Buy or Sell that all Hall of Fame ballots should be made public?

* Where do you most like to sit when you go to a baseball game: Behind home plate, in the outfield or bleacher seats, down the lines, or in a suite?

* If your team won a championship, where would you want to watch the championship parade: In the middle of the crowd cheering, on TV or neither because just winning the title is enough?

* We had some Papa John’s and Dominoes stans in yesterday’s show. Do either of them come in your top 10 pizza choices?
