We start Rapid Fire by discussing comments from Marcus Freeman when told the NFL Network that he and his family took a red eye flight back from Hawaii to South Bend and he used it to get a feel for what he and his team will go through when the Irish go to Ireland to open the season. How much do we think it will help?
Other topics include:
* Brian Kelly was asked at SEC Media Days if he’s closing the gap with Georgia since he’s been at LSU and his answer “No it’s not”. So let me ask you this...has Notre Dame’s gap closed since Marcus Freeman has been head coach?
* Should college football have a relegation system?
* Thoughts on the SEC announcing it will hold its football media days in Dallas next year, which coincides with Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the conference.
* This is going to be the final season for Texas and Oklahoma in the Big 12 and for USC and UCLA in the Pac 12 as they get set to join new conferences next year. When you look at the value of schools joining new conferences, is market size or the brand of the school more important?
* Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables took a shot at new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders at Big 12 media days. “I was unlike Deion. I gave guys 12 months of grace to figure it out.”. Are Venables’ comments Fair or Foul?
* Thoughts on Richard Sherman as a candidate to join Skip Bayless on the FS1 debate show 'Undisputed'.
