Italics, fine Italian dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the city center on Main Street. That's where I'm at

today here on the seventh floor in Lexington. Shannon the dude is back in Louisville. Today is Cyber Monday.

We're coming off the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and plenty of U.K. sports to talk about today. Good morning, dude. It's good to see you. Good to be back with you. How was your long weekend? It was great, man. Good to get away for a few days. But here we are, and a lot happened over the weekend. You mentioned it being Cyber Monday. Do they have any good deals on football coaches online for Cyber Monday?

Can we get a good deal if we shop around and find the right website?

eight straight bowl games, the all-time winning his coach,

passing Bear Bryant.

41 to zero, the cats lose to Louisville.
