This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in Lake Kick is live.

It is Thursday night, May 13th, a little bit later than usual.

I'll touch on that in just a

second, but it is the year of our Lord. We got a jam-packed show. I mean, it was going to be a real shame if we couldn't do the show tonight because it's jam-packed. I have not seen a more Herculean effort to get something off the ground since Tom Hanks basically created a fire on that beach out in the Pacific and Castaway. Director of Meritus Collins has been laying on the floor in the studio

in the control room for about 30 minutes on hooking wires. Our girl Meredith's been on the phone. Jesse and crew have been in Connecticut trying to make things happen. And the net result of that, as I just sat there and watched the whole time, is we have a show right here live for you. So thank you for your patience. If you're

listening to the replay, ignore everything I just said. It means nothing to you. But we got a loaded show tonight. Hey, week one, I know that right now it's, what did I say about 15 seconds ago? It's May 13th. And I know that it's a little ways away. But since we don't believe in the offseason around here, week one, I was looking at that yesterday, it is loaded.

I know there's not a lot of number one versus number four and number six versus number three.

There are a couple of those.

But man, like we're not a believer around here that everything just revolves around the playoff.

There are going to be some playoff implications in week one,

but there's just going to be some huge games in week one for several different reasons.

I'm going to touch on that tonight. Also, Tennessee fans are angry, which is not in and of

itself a revolutionary new headline or anything like that. But I think they have a little bit of reason

to be, and I'll give you the latest reason why. And so we're going to dive down that rabbit hole.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

The Big 12.

I want to ask you something. A lot of talk about the Pact 12 today. They got themselves a new commissioner, but what about the Big 12? What is it? What's Big 12 football? I don't think the answer is what you think it is. I think things may be changing out there, and we'll give you a little reason why I believe that.

Also, I tweeted this out the other day.

I got a lot of feedback on it.

So I'm going to go a little bit further down the road tonight of, if you elect me, college football commissioner. And that would require you to be able to vote on it. But if, in this hypothetical world, I was, I got a new way we need to do this calendar. And the college football calendar, much like our show, could just be year-round. You don't have to have these chunks of 30 and 60 days and 90 days within activities. So we're going to put that all out there tonight. Remember, follow that Instagram account and follow that Twitter account at late kick Josh. I decided I want to be at 10,000. By the time we open fall camp, I want that Instagram account to be at 10,000. Now, if you want to do it by the end of the week, that's fine too. But I just started on there. We're putting some stuff on there. What you see on there now pales in comparison to what'll be on there in just a couple of months. Believe you, me. So let's get this thing started to the night because man we got a pretty good show for you i think week one in college football in

2021 is james you and me. So let's get this thing started tonight because, man, we've got a pretty good show for you,
