This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back.

Another edition of the Late Kick Extra podcast, Thursday, August 12th, the year of our Lord,

2021. Just gross irresponsibility on my part. As you know, we've gotten into the three live show

per week format now, or three a weeks. And when we do that, typically, again, a responsible adult

would already have this podcast recorded the night before. Therefore, producer Jordan could

wake up at 4 a.m.

Because he's a space alien largely or a prison inmate one of the other. And he could get it cut.

He could get it out for you, ideally for your drive to work or maybe for you to listen to before

lunch. But nope, here I am strangled by procrastination. So I'm recording it at around lunchtime or brunch time, depending

on what kind of lifestyle you're living out there. And we're going to get out as quick as possible.

But my vow to you, my new week's resolution for this upcoming week is to have your Tuesday

and Thursday mailbag pods deliver to you at a reasonable time that has a.m. behind it and not

PM. So with that in mind, let's dive into the mailbag

this morning. If you're new, and many of you are judging by our numbers, thank you for

checking out the Latekick podcast. The Latekick Extra is a two per week format where it's all

mailbag. You can submit questions a few ways. Follow me on Twitter or Instagram at Latekick

Josh, or you can email me, Joshpate706 at gmail.com. That is not a bot account. That's really me that you're talking to. Imagine that. People like us, free to engage with our audience. And I will answer as many as I can. In this podcast feed, they show up every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings. You get a replay of the previous night's late kick live, which airs, by the way, as it will tonight, at 8 Eastern 7 Central on the 24-7 sports YouTube channel. So now that we've explained the format, let's dive into the mailbag. We had such an overflow from Tuesday. We're just basically picking up where we left off, and I'm stalling as I scroll,

which is kind of inexcusable because I could pause this at any point.

But there we go. Okay, Jason kicks us off this morning. He said with Texas and OU coming to the

SEC and the thought of a four pod system in the conference plus the SEC being criticized

for not playing nine conference games, what if the SEC made a playoff to determine the SEC champion?
