FIRST SHIFT: A SPECIAL NOTRE DAME WISH

Undefeated Notre Dame faces a surprisingly tough test today in Chicago against a resurgent Miami team, so we decided to get an inspiring message for the Fighting Irish from a fan favorite, Ty Fieri.

Time to crank up the heat and move those feet, fellas! Defense, I'm putting in an order for three Spicy Caramel Mole Chimichangeofpossessions! Offense, let me get a heapin' helpin' of Ty's Chicken Fried Clock Killer Mozzarella Spillers! Special teams, order up for two frosty mugs of Mama Fieri's Tequizberry Amber Blocks!

ALRIGHT! LAST TRAIN TO CIUDAD DE LOS FLAVOR CHAMPIONS IS PULLING OUT SO HOP ON BOARD!

Thanks, Chef. This is your morning open thread. BE BOLD AND PUT CHILI CHEESE ON EVERYTHING.
