Welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast.

I'm your host Michael Bratton, by SEC Mike on the Twitter machine.

And there's our good friend Steven Lassen's Senior Editor Athlod Sports.

Steven, have you survived the snowpocalypse?

I did.

Mike, I had to tell you, I was, I prepared, you know, I did my game week preparation.

I tried to go chopping two days before it hit.

And I can tell you the crowds were insane.

Everybody else had the same idea preparing for it. But we survived.

And we've almost survived this college football season. We're down to just one game, of course,

with the national championship. Although the real reason I wanted to come on your show tonight was to do

a wellness check for you and just make sure that you, a cousin Shane with no SEC, you guys are doing okay, right?

We don't, you know, we do we need to publicly talk through this.

It's that big 10 podcast for at least today because, uh, man,

I don't even know if I'm going to watch this stupid national championship,

Stephen, two years in a row, first time since 2004, 2003.

We've got two years without at least one SEC team in the national championship.

I can't believe it.

We've got to bow down to our new Big Ten overlords, right?

That's the way this goes.

Maybe I'll make a, I don't know if it's a bold prediction i think the cc will be back in the championship game next year i think all of the

articles and shows writing off the cc and saying this is the end of the conference.
