This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I need sunscreen and beach chairs. I need an umbrella, all of which can be bought at the academy, by the way.

I need all of those things because I'm on an island. And the island I'm on is not the island of

misfit toys. It's the island basically of misfit predictions. All of us here on the island, we're the ones who

are picking Miami to win the national championship game. We're jam-packed. We're high atop of

a frigid downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Cannot wait to get to Miami and get out of this ice box.

Looking forward to low 70s on Sunday and Monday. But right now it's Thursday. It is January, what,

15th, the Overlord, 2026. Happy to have you with us.

Yes, friends, although the national championship game should have been played two weeks ago,

we're still four days away, but we are looking forward to it. And yes, I, as I said, kind of on an island here.

I'm the one still stupid enough to not doubt Kurt Signity. I don't want to put that

out there in the ecosystem. I'm not doubting him. I'm just choosing to believe in Mario a little bit.

Choosing to believe in Carson Beck. Who's ever gone wrong doing such things? So we're going to

talk about that. Kublitt's going to be on the show later. He's reached his breaking point.

He's just yelling out into the clouds and we're going to let you hear him later.

Something about the transfer portal in Auburn. Speaking of breaking points, is college football approaching a breaking point? No. Well, I don't know. Maybe. I'm going to talk about it in a second.

Got a little Mario Cristobal legacy question on the show tonight.

Of course, it's a day that ends in Y in January, so the portal is acting crazy, although

that's about to come to an end.

So we've got a jam-packed show, as it should be on the Thursday before the national

championship game.
