This is an IHeart podcast.

All right, welcome in.

Lake Hick is live.

It is Thursday, April 1st, the Year of Our Lord, 2021. It's no joke.

Tired of it already.

I was tired of it by 10 a.m.

We're just going to do a show tonight. There's going to be no Easter egg, figuratively or literally, within the show tonight. No jokes, no anything. Except for my co-host who's still here, as you can see. You can't see it on podcast. Trust me, you don't want to. our pal San Batesch, by the way, up in Stanford,

just suggested that I put a smiley face on him.

And if I would have found a Sharpie in plenty enough time today, I probably would have.

But we've got a jam-packed show nonetheless tonight.

And I want to mention something happened about an hour ago that happens once every, oh, I don't know, four or five months to me. I so badly misread the room, badly misread the audience that I assume something that apparently most of you don't assume. So I'm going to detail that in just a second because I didn't really know we were going to be talking about it, but we're going to be talking about it. So the SEC West Balance of Power, that's kind of what it has to do with, not at the top, but right below Alabama, or maybe distantly below Alabama, how does it shake out? I assumed everyone was going to be in unison as to who number two was. You're not. By any stretch of the imagination, you're not. So we'll discuss that. The push, as I kind of start to feel it for real spring games, we've at least got head coaches talking about it now. We've spoken about it at length many times on Lake Cake, even back when I was independent. We're pushing for it again tonight. We've got to use our power for good around here, not evil. So we're going to push for real spring games. Also, speaking of spring, a lot of intel, a lot of whispers, a lot going on, camps all across the country.

Some have yet to open.

Most have opened.

Some are approaching spring games already.

So we're going to give you from several different programs what we're hearing tonight.

And also, Justin Fields, what a treasure Justin Fields is for two reasons among many.

He was fun to watch.

But he's exposing a lot of fraud right now. So he was partly responsible for getting the Big Ten season to happen. And now he's exposing a lot of fraud. And it's

always important to expose fraud. So we're going to talk about that before the show goes off the air.

We are marching ever closer to 2000 on Instagram. Remember every thousand that we hit over there

at Late Kick Josh. We are going to do another Late Kick Show Owners Association meeting. I think we're on Instagram. Remember every thousand that we hit over there at late kick Josh. We are going to do

another late kick show owners association, meaning I think we're on track probably by this weekend or
