| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
| 0:18.7 | All I'm saying is, I think if we're going to care about the sanctity of the regular season, |
| 0:23.8 | maximizing the urgency on regular season games, I think the time to do that was several years ago. |
| 0:29.7 | But yet I'm hearing people all of a sudden do it now. |
| 0:32.0 | We're high atop a lively downtown Nashville, Tennessee on this Tuesday night, May 27th, the year of our Lord, 2025, proudly brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. There's so much going on right now. College football city council meeting. That's basically what it is. Nobody's happy. Everybody's yelling. The rest of the casual world doesn't even know what's happening. And that's what we are right now. |
| 0:55.3 | That's where we are right now. But that's okay. That's what we're here for, after all. |
| 1:00.1 | I haven't talked to you about my preference, at least at length. I haven't talked to you about my |
| 1:05.3 | preference on which playoff model out of all the ones that they're throwing around that I think |
| 1:09.8 | we should go with. |

I think he's in a do-or-die adjacent season. |
| 1:29.3 | I don't even know what it means. I just think he's in one of those, but there are some |
| 1:33.7 | head coaches that just flat out have to win a certain amount of games this year or someone else |
| 1:38.3 | will have their job next year. I have to circle back to the huge, huge firestorm at hand in the college football universe. |
| 1:47.1 | I've got Greg Sanky on the show tonight, not live, mind you. |
| 1:51.0 | I've got some thoughts. |
| 1:52.1 | The truth. |
| 1:53.1 | Right here in this stack of papers, the truth about SEC Commissioner Greg Sanky. |
| 1:57.5 | Everyone thinks they know it. |
| 1:58.6 | Why not? |
| 1:59.3 | Why not me? |
| 2:00.4 | Also add my thoughts to the bonfire. |
| 2:03.9 | A lot of fire metaphors. And why not? Keep it rolling. Bold predictions on the show tonight as well. |
