| 0:22.9 | and we're going to be joined in a little bit by Barton Simmons from 24-7 sports for some |
| 0:28.2 | recruiting talk, some European recruiting talk, but Bruce, much lighter weekend of spring games |
| 0:33.0 | this past weekend. Did you happen to catch either Georgia or Oregon? I did, but not live. I was able to |
