IB Nation Sports Talk: Sam Hartman Milestones, Interview With Notre Dame Baseball's Brooks Coetzee

Irish Breakdown is talking Notre Dame football and more

Today's show starts with Rapid Fire topics before an interview with Notre Dame outfielder Brooks Coetzee. Today's topics include:

* If Sam Hartman passes for a little over 2,800 yards this season he will have the fourth-most passing yards in FBS history. If he passes for a little over 4,100 yards he’ll have the second-most yards ever. He is also 45 touchdown passes shy of the all-time FBS record. Do we  Buy or Sell an asterisks for him if he achieves either of those milestones, considering this is his sixth season of eligibility?

* College football teams are not generally in the position to retire numbers. But if you have an outgoing player like Michael Mayer would we  Buy or Sell making his jersey number unavailable for at least one year after he’s gone?

* Former Notre Dame receiver Chris Finke Tweeted recently that transfer portal players should play their own spring game with coaches from recently fired staffs coaching the game and then broadcast it in prime time. Do we Buy or Sell the idea?

* Haley Van Lith has an NIL deal with Adidas but after transferring from Louisville to LSU, which is a Nike school, she won’t be allowed to wear Adidas shoes during games. Should college athletes be allowed to wear the shoe brand of their choice in games given the current NIL landscape?

* Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon was fired today after a gambling scandal that involved bets on a game his team lost. We have thoughts on that. 

* If you were going to bet against one MLB team in every game the rest of the season with the goal of making the most money at the end of the season which team would you pick?

* Snoop Dogg is in on a bid to buy the Ottawa Senators. If you could own a professional sports team which sport would you choose?

* We also have news on graduate transfer Becky Obinma, who is Notre Dame women's basketball's newest member. 

After all that, we have an interview with Notre Dame outfielder Brooks Coetzee.

Notre Dame outfielder Brooks Coetzee joins Irish Breakdown's Sean Stires to discuss a host of topics: 

*Last year's College World Series experience. 

* His decision to return to Notre Dame for his fifth season. 

* Losing head coach Link Jarrett to Florida State and facing him for the first time last weekend. 

* The team's NCAA Tournament drive this season.

* New Irish head coach Shawn Stiffler. 

* Super Regional experiences at Mississippi State and Tennessee the last two years. 

* The possibility of becoming Notre Dame's single season hit by pitch record holder.
