This is an IHeart podcast.

I shouldn't be nervous. I'm nervous a little bit. I'm nervous because I've gotten myself a little bit too confident on some of these playoff games. Here we are. We're on the eve, I guess, of the first game on Friday. And you know what? I'll learn along with the rest of you. We're jam-packed. We're high atop a lively downtown Nashville Tennessee on this Thursday night, December 19th. The Year of Our Lord, 2024. So, we've obviously

got a big weekend upon us, and everyone's going to think something. No one's going to love

everything that we see. There will be complaints. There will be beefs and gripes. We try and

see around the corner,

you know, a little bit on the show. So I imagine some to many of you will look at the

playoff or you'll look at the way the portal is going right now or maybe you'll look at NIL or

something that I haven't mentioned and you'll say, someone's got to fix that. Well, it's not easy. Had a lot of calls over the past, well, I guess 48 hours. I'll share with you what I can share with you. With the portal, I've had a lot of calls on that too. There's a lot going on with the transfer portal. It's just wide open right now. A lot of guys have moved since the last time you and I spoke. I will share with you

what I can share with you. A lot of intel, a lot of juice flowing through the show right now. A lot of

scoop. It's scoop season. I've got the top games of 2004. You know, we rate every game one to five

on a chalai scale. And we have three five chalai classics this year. That's of games that we talked about.

There's a controversial omission. Georgia Tech Georgia did not get a fifth chalai, and people are

beside themselves. But I will explain, I think there's a really big corollary to WrestleMania 17,

Austin Rock, in the ending of that match, which I know your mind was already going there,

but I'm going to take it there a little bit further later tonight. Cole Kublich on the show. Now, Jesse and Colin, if you're listening, someone say something in my ear because I think it may be going in and out again. They're watching us in Woodbine, Georgia. Never mind, we're good. Travis City, Michigan, Traverse City, Michigan. Could be a Travis City. Don't know about that. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Odessa, Texas.

Happy to have you with us. We are. We're jam-packed. I'm going to Columbus tomorrow. Tonight,

I crack open a pretty ice-cold Zevia. I take, oh, look at the foam. I take a sip or two,

and we're going to dive into this show.

Creamy root beer tonight, by the way. Creamy root beer. Got a new shipment of Zivia in. Yes,

we are in a privileged enough position where we don't have to buy our Zivia right now,

although after the past couple of months, I would if I had to. So here we go. Let's dive in.

College football playoff upon us. We've got first round games on campus, camp eye, the plural of campus, of course, and we try and see around the corner on the show.
