| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:20.3 | I am Stuart Mandel, joined as always by Bruce Feldman. It is August. It is almost college football season. Bruce, we've wrapped up the Media Day circuit. And then you had a offsite, I believe, the last couple days with Fox, anything you want to report from that? |
| 0:39.9 | No, it was good to see a lot of people. I guess I can report now that I expect to be on the road |
| 0:46.3 | this fall all season with the Big Noon kickoff show that I had been working on previously, but it'll be good to be out on the road. |
| 0:57.9 | So I'm excited. |
| 0:58.7 | We got a really good schedule. |
| 1:00.2 | We can talk more about that down the road. |
| 1:02.9 | Yeah, I mean, you're going to see some amazing games. |
| 1:06.3 | You know, I think you told me the first one is Texas, Alabama. |
| 1:10.8 | Yeah, it should be an awesome environment. |
| 1:12.3 | Obviously, Sark against his old boss, you know, the Heisman trophy winner, Bryce Young, Will Anderson, excited to see what Texas's offense looks like. |

| 2:02.8 | Anyway, let me ask you quick. |
| 2:04.6 | Do you really, like, I mean, we're talking about a short slice of something, not a whole, you know, I don't think at the end of the day, people would sit and rather watch, you know, for people, no matter how informed they are, talk about realignment as as to watch a football game between two. |
| 2:19.3 | No, I'm not saying they would watch like a TV show about realignment. |
| 2:24.3 | I'm saying nothing, from a readership standpoint, nothing, and I mean nothing, draws more eyeballs |
| 2:31.3 | than realignment coverage, even when there's no realignment going on. |
