This is an IHeart podcast.

You're at a buffet, except all the food's good.

You look to the left.

I want that.

You look to the right. I want that. You look to the right.

I want that. Right in front of you. You want that. That's tonight's show. I got a little something for everyone, except everything is for everyone tonight. We are jam-packed. We are high atop a very controversial downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Why controversial, you may ask? We got 16 days until Hawaii comes to town to take on Vanderbilt.

They're kicking us out of our office. Management back in full force. They're turning our

office into a makeup room. And so we're going to be forced to probably go work out of the lactation

room just to prove a point around here. And don't worry, I go in there to take a nap all the time anyway. So I think we'll be okay, but our appeal will be heard. We got camp scoop tonight. We've got recruiting scoop tonight, a big day for the University of Texas. I've got an angle, and I promise you I'm not spending much time on it because we got to get down to business. There's football to be played.

But I got a little angle.

I just want you to be aware of on conference realignment and the future of this sport and how I continue to present to you the idea that the door may not be quite as slammed on our hopes and dreams as you may think they are.

I watched the Johnny Mansell documentary on Netflix.

I have thoughts. We'll get to it later in the show. I got USC record predictions tonight. What

Ifs? Bold predictions. Told you. That's a buffet that makes everyone happy. They're watching us

in Abilene, Texas. Selma, Alabama. Herman Maine is tuned in, good people in Herman, and Watertown, Tennessee.

So I never lose confidence in you guys, but I got to be honest, I read it on Jesse's face

sometimes, and sometimes lately I don't think he's believed we're going to get to 200,000

subscribers on this channel by the time kickoff happens. And we've got tools that we can

track internally what we're pacing at. And so we've been pacing, this is just some inside baseball

for you here, we've been pacing to get the 200k subs in late September. But we've seen a surge

in the last week. And now, as of today, we're pacing to get there on September 8th.

Now, as you know, that's not good enough. We want to get there before kickoff of week one.
