This is an IHeart podcast.

What do you have to say for yourself?

I mean, don't talk. Don't talk. Don't talk. I don't know if people are aware of what's happening. You're familiar with the prodigal son. That parable? Yeah. And, you know, the dad should have been angry at the kid. Should have been furious. Should have slammed the door on him, just like I should do with you with how much not only you you bought

the expansionist propaganda hook line and sinker but you swallowed it and like vomited it all over

the airwaves but now you've come around and I see you on the horizon and I'm put the ring on

Would you like to share with people what's happened in your personal life here?

So, yeah, it's been, it's been very life-changing to see this change of perspective.

Right.

But no, but see, here's the thing.

I think the 12 team actually worked out perfectly last year.

I thought last year was one of the more entertaining football seasons that we've seen.

It's still, because all the pushback I heard from you and others were like the regular season's not going to matter anymore.

There's not going to be meaningful games.

Tell that to Old Miss when Kentucky came to town.

Tell that to Alabama, you know, when they lose to Vanderbilt or Oklahoma.

Tell that to some of the teams that were this close to being in the college football playoff,

but they lost that regular season game that still mattered.

The conference championship games, I heard those were going to be irrelevant. Tell that to Clemson, who played their way into the playoff. So I've gotten to the point where I don't want to go back. I don't want to go to four. So I don't want to go that far back. I'm not returning that much to home, But I just feel like we're getting so out ahead of ourselves and moving

at such a pace in search for the almighty dollar that we do risk what really does make college
