This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome in. Link, it gets live. It is Thursday, July 8th of Our Lord, 2021. We're jam-packed tonight. I'm back in Nashville. We have not spoken to you and I since last Thursday, at least on this show. So for that, I apologize. Even though one of you emailed me last night and said, stop apologizing. You got to miss a show every now and then you got to miss a show. Close your ears, sir. I apologize anyway. Look, here's how jam-packed we are tonight. I can't go two hours. I think the law prohibits at this time of year. But I cannot even talk to you about these things. Dare Rosenthal is probably headed to Kentucky. So that's just a starting left tackle in the SEC, transferring within the SEC. There's so much NIL stuff that could choke a pig. I can't talk about all of it tonight. We've got Media Days announcements.

How about Demetrius Robertson? Former number one rated receiver in the country was at Cal and at Georgia. He announced his destination today. He's headed to Auburn. He'll be immediately eligible. That's the stuff we can't fit in the show tonight. So here's what we are talking about. We have had a recruiting wave, the likes of which

we kind of expected, but now it's coming to fruition. And so we've got so much to talk about

there. In fact, just today, we've had several major verbal commitments to touch on. We also

have several pivotal seasons coming. I'm going to talk in just a second. I think, yeah,

we're going to lead the show off with it. There are two kinds of college football fans out there. One of you, you just like any game. If they're keeping score, you'll watch. But another kind, you like the more soap opera pro wrestling portion, the storyline crowd. Neither is wrong. I mean, both, there's a place for both of you. well, 2021 will have it in plentiful supply. You don't have to worry about that.

Ohio State. Neither is wrong. I mean, both, there's a place for both of you. Well, 2021 will have it in plentiful supply.

You don't have to worry about that. Ohio State over the next five years. I got into a little, as we call it, a tiff the other day with one of you, which turned into 50 of you, about Ryan Day. And so I've talked about it on the Late Kick Extra podcast, but I'm going to talk about it in a little bit more detail tonight, just what I mean.

When I say next to Nick Sabin, there ain't a guy on this planet I take to lead Pate State University today and moving forward than Ryan Day.

Yes, that includes, fill in the blank, the names you're saying right now.

Yeah, that includes all of them.

All that plus a really interesting and in-depth feature that Brandon Marcello had on 247sports.com the main page today

about Brian Harson at Auburn and this philosophy of whether you can take, in this case,

the Boise State blueprint, and you can pack it up in a moving van and drive it all the way

across the country, across a river that you've probably never lived east of in your life, called the Mississippi, and can you plant those roots in the southeastern conference and watch it grow? History says yet's possible. It has been done before. Can Brian Harson do it? And what does this have to do with the rest of college football? We're going to talk about all that and more tonight.

Look, we got a whole lot of high school coaching staff who watch this show. And I've done a poor job of shouting them out. So if you are on a high school staff, make sure you hit me up and let me know you guys watch. I'm going to give you an example. Coach V and the entire staff down in Flominton, Alabama, which is so far south in Alabama,

you almost have to look north to see the Gulf of Mexico from there. But the Flomenton Hurricanes, they check the show out. So Coach V, the entire staff down there, we appreciate it. You guys can hit me up on Twitter, Instagram, at Lake Kick Jaws. If you're watching, let me know. And we'll get some push your high school's way on the show. Also, I'm going to save it to the end, but some interesting things are happening just in the general late kick world,

a little call to action I'm going to say for the end of the show. But as for the beginning of

the show, it's going to happen right now. 2021, as you know, has already been labeled an inevitable renaissance year on this program. I think it's

going to be incredible. The 2021 college football show, or the, well, we'll have a lot of shows,

but the 2021 college football season, I would think we'll be unlike anything that we've seen.
