This is an IHeart podcast.

All right, welcome in.

Lake Kick is live.

It is Sunday night, November 28th, the Year of Our Lord, 2021.

I've never seen the show format look like 2021. I've never seen the show format

look like this. I've never seen the eye drops look like this. It looks like I've got a little Christmas tree in my hand. The most jam-packed that we've ever had a show. How do we get an end and under two hours? You ask, well, I've got to make a five-hour drive tonight, so we have no choice but to get an Ed in under two hours.

But I promise you this, we will not do a 30-minute show tonight, dot, dot, dot, because we will do one closer to an hour.

Now you see how I did that?

Because that's how Lincoln Riley taught me to phrase what my future intentions are.

I'm going to tell you what I'm not going to do, but I'm going to leave it very open-ended as to what I am going to do. Lincoln Riley is going to be the next head coach at

USC. I have no clue, but we're going to talk about it anyway. Obviously, Billy Napier is headed to Florida. That's obvious if you've been paying attention today. If you haven't been paying attention, then I guess we just broke the news for you,

but we're going to talk about that a whole lot too.

Michigan is headed to, well, the Big Ten championship game.

I was at the game yesterday, somehow got back through a snowstorm, well, to me a snowstorm, and I've got a lot of takeaways, including some things that you haven't seen yet. The playoff picture has just been hurled into abject chaos. We were treated to a Saturday, a rivalry Saturday, for that matter,

for the ages. So that one goes in the history books. And now we're headed into conference

championship week. And it's all right here in front of us. And we got to talk about it tonight.

So I first want to tell you this. Our show has gone more places because of you than you could

ever know. I tell you this all the time. And I know sometimes it's vague. I'm just telling you, when we go to these games, the more and more people we meet that have more and more positive things to say about the show. And it's because of you. So just thank you. I know already traffic's going to be great this week. I don't have to even doubt it. So so thank you in advance. Thanksgiving week season, it's still in play for us. At late kick Josh, I can't stress enough, especially this time of year. You gotta make sure you're following on the social channels. Because as you saw today, there's a lot that happens. And sometimes we get our hands on some information. And if I'm 48 hours away from the next show, that may be where we drop it. At late kick, Josh. Make sure you're following on Twitter. Make sure you're following on Instagram. If you're following on Instagram and you look at that story, that Instagram story, I think it was the best we've ever had yesterday. I mean, the access that I got at the Ohio State and Michigan game, the behind the scenes, the peel the curtain back aspect that I was able to give you guys at that

game yesterday, well, to the tune of about four million views, if you count the tunnel video,

which got used by every major outlet, including The Daily Mail. LateKick made the Daily Mail.

How about that? It all started and originated from me and the I-Josh and just having access that we're afforded because we go to these games. So thank you so much for that. Renaissance tour had a great trip to Ann Arbor and we're going to discuss in a second. But now it's Conference Championship Week and Director Colin, you know what that means. We got to let the people know where we're headed Saturday.

I don't think this is a great mystery.
