This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

They tell me I have five senses.

I feel like I have 17 on a night like tonight where we are jam-packed.

We are high atop a very on-guard downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday, March 15th, the year of our Lord, 2006.

We're going to do a full-on college football show, but then also we have severe weather bearing down on us. I've got to get us out of here in a decent amount of time because I've got to make sure Bradley can get home. I don't want him stuck on the roads in that kind of weather. And so my two passions just colliding here tonight. And then Fanduil hits us up and says, guess what, win totals for the season are out as well? What? What? For a few teams? No, for the whole country. So we're going to talk about that tonight. I have several thoughts. I'm giving you liens. I'm not just going to share the news. Okay? We're not just, we're not just reporting tonight. We're actually going to take a stand, which I'm accused of not doing in the spring. I'm going to take a stand, softly, on a lot of these teams. I've got spring intel all over the place. We're going to tell the truth about Dan Lannning tonight. We did not give him a heads up. It's coming, so he'll learn the truth about himself right along with the rest of us. And I got a question about teams on the clock, which was interesting because you could go the route of this team needs to win or the head coach is going to get fired, but you can also go the route of, hey, this team's coach is not going to get fired, but if not now, then when? You know, Clemson last year, Penn State last year, although it turns out the coach did get fired there. So we've got a whole lot to get to. We're jam-packed. They're watching us in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Dallas, Texas, Gary, Indiana, Florida, Mississippi, people. It's never been more important that you subscribe to the channel. Well, actually, you can do it anytime you want, but just check and make sure. We're doing that thing right now again, where we're getting a lot of feedback from people when I say this on the show. And the feedback sounds like this. Hey, you always say subscribe to the channel, and I never do it because I thought I was. And then I checked, and I wasn't subscribed. So just check and make sure you are, because it's free, so it doesn't really change anything for you, but it helps us. Speaker Series starts this week. Can't tell you where we're going yet. But we got two big stops this week, and we will go all over the place for the rest of spring. Because what else are we going to do? Sit around here. Our list I-VM. Got a lot of spring camps opening up. Nebraska is going to wrap their spring practice and have a game before some of these places have even begun spring practice.

So it's weird.

Not all the calendars just perfectly overlap.

But for the teams that have begun spring practice, we got our ear to the ground.

Ohio State has begun spring practice.

You know, they're losing Caden McDonald.

They're losing a lot defensively. But at Ohio State, sometimes you don't have to have heard the names to just blindly assume they're going to be pretty good. But in Ohio State's case, like Edric Houston, yes,

we expect him, they expect him, to backfill and be a big time role player there. But

here's what's interesting. They got a couple of

guys from Alabama in the transfer portal. James Smith was one of them. And I don't know about you.

If you're an Ohio State fan, you've probably heard this. But if you listen more and more from

around there, it sounds like they're really excited about James Smith. And for that

matter, if you look at the edge position, Kenyatta Jackson at the edge position, he's back,

he's going to be a big time playmaker for him. But then what's another name you hear? Quay Russo,

another Alabama transfer. So they got that pair of guys from Alabama that at least in the early portion of

Springball look to be checking all the boxes they need them to check. Now, Zion Grady is probably

a guy who they have in-house there that has a higher overall upside, but he's a much younger guy.
