| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
| 0:17.9 | It never sits still. I mean, we could have a happy go lucky, carefree, look back sort of year-in-review show tonight, except that we've got huge breaking news in the world of college football. I've been waiting on this one now. I've been waiting on this story because it's not my story to break, but we've kind of been read in on it. So I've been waiting for this one. |
| 0:37.7 | So we'll lead the show with it. We're jam-packed high atop a frigid downtown Nashville, Tennessee on this Sunday night, February 16th, the Year of Our Lord, 2025. What are we talking about? Well, nothing in this sport sits still for very long, and that includes the college football playoff. And wouldn't you know it kids? |
| 0:54.4 | Big changes are about to happen. |
| 0:56.7 | In years? |
| 0:58.0 | No. In months? No. In weeks. And we'll |
| 1:01.7 | talk about it in about two minutes. What is college football, by the way? It's a very, |
| 1:05.8 | very appropriate question, as it turns out for tonight. I asked some of you that today, |
| 1:10.3 | because I was challenged with that over the weekend. Now, I had a lot of fun with it. We'll have fun with it tonight, but also we'll be very serious about it. Auburn got some stuff with them, Notre Dame, got some stuff with them, just people raging out in the comments on a pretty innocuous and what I thought was an accurate Clemson take last week. |
| 1:27.9 | It is the all, it's also the night where we're going to do the Big Ten program rankings. |
| 1:31.9 | Like we've got a jam packed show tonight. |
| 1:35.4 | And that means I got no time to waste. |
| 1:36.9 | They're watching this in Mobile, Alabama, Springfield, Illinois, Sacramento, Sacramento, |
| 1:40.4 | Sacramento, California, Bloomington, Minnesota. |
| 1:43.9 | If that's not enough, friends, we're also |
| 1:46.2 | dropping the latest in the state speaker series. What, tomorrow, Colin? I think we're dropping |
| 1:52.1 | that tomorrow. So yeah, make sure you're subscribed on the channel if you haven't already. |
| 1:56.4 | Good friend of the program, Matt Rule, joining us tomorrow for an hour. I think we went 57 minutes with him. A lot of good stuff. Don't care if you're a Nebraska fan or not. A lot of good stuff. But that's not what we're leading with tonight. As I said, we're leading with, as it turns out, breaking news. So text your cousin, call your Ann. If they're not watching live right now, this is one of those segments where you're going to want to be watching it live. So, Velt you track if we have a spike in |
| 2:21.3 | live viewership just because I said that, by the way. All right. If you were watching the |
| 2:27.3 | college football playoff recently, I think one thing became obvious, and that was this thing's |
| 2:31.3 | not going to stay this way for very long. Now, that was a broadly held consensus opinion, I would say. What wasn't so understood |
| 2:38.6 | was, number one, when the changes were going to happen, because they were never going to happen |
