Rapid Fire: Is Notre Dame Desperate, Mike Denbrock's Elite Salary, Notre Dame - Stanford Future

Rapid Fire topics include:
* ESPN’s Greg McElroy says Notre Dame is more desperate than Texas A&M to win their week one matchup. “I don’t think it’s even close. I think by a mile it’s Notre Dame. I think you look at Notre Dame this year, this is the year that Marcus Freeman has circled.” Do you Buy or Sell that from McElroy?
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that according to Pro Football Focus, Notre Dame’s Mike Denbrock is the highest paid offensive coordinator in the country at $2.1 million dollars a year.
* Fill-in the blank...We got the news last week that Notre Dame has added Boise State to its home schedule next year. One opponent that’s still up in the air for next year is Stanford, because the contract with the Cardinal expires after this season and Stanford is now part of the ACC. It will be BLANK if the Irish don’t play Stanford next year.
* What should the Irish do with their schedule if Stanford is not going to be on it every year? 
* Thoughts on reports that former Notre Dame and LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri will be hired as South Carolina's head coach. 
* Caitlin Clark was left off the US women’s Olympic basketball team. Which do you have a bigger issue with: Clark’s snub or the avalanche of takes that came after it this weekend?
* Game two of the NBA Finals included 600 lobsters in the media dinner at Boston’s TD Garden Arena. What’s the best media meal we've ever had?
