This is an IHeart podcast.

All right.

Welcome to Lake Higg is live.

It is Thursday night.

October, is it really October 14th?

Yes, October 14th year of our lore,

2021. We got a jam-packed show. We've got, I think, a voice that is of quarter of the tank

full, which should be enough to get us through tonight. What an unfortunate ending to the show the other

night. We had no protocol in place. I mean, Director in Colin and I, we have, like, quality

control for every possible disaster scenario. If a rhinoceros runs in the studio, we know what we're going to do. Voice goes out, we didn't know what to do the other night. So that's on us. Fool us want, shame on, however that goes. Anyway, so if it happens tonight, we'll deal with it. We'll go get some water. We'll come back, because I had no problem talking like five minutes later. We have got a week seven that I certainly wouldn't compare to last week, but I would say, especially in the noon window, it's sneaky, good. It's like really, really sneaky in that there's no top five versus top five matchup, but there are really a number of good ones. We're going to preview and predict a lot of them tonight. I also want to talk about several contending teams. There's a really good feature on the front page right now.

I still think even of this hour on 24-7 sports.com of the biggest threats and the biggest

concerns maybe that are facing the remaining contending teams out there. Going to hit some of them,

not all of them tonight.

Also, Dabo Swinney talking about the transfer portal,

and it's kind of echoing a lot of what we really predicted

would happen in the preseason,

not specifically for this year,

but in the overall landscape of Clemson football,

they're exactly where we thought they would be now. Are they going to go where I thought and still do think that they'll go? We'll talk about that tonight. Also, got a couple of best bets to add, I feel good about this week. We have got our explosion week coming up. Maybe it's this week. At Lake Kick Josh, make sure you're following on Twitter and Instagram. As you very well know by now, the Renaissance tour is headed to Knoxville, Tennessee. We don't have to get on an airplane this week. Thank the Lord, because we barely made it home last week. So we're headed to Knoxville. We're going to be there Friday night. There is a phenomenal, and I mean phenomenal, according to what I'm told, Fleetwood Mac tribute band in town Friday night? There I?

Think I might and then of course we got a really big football game there Saturday night

Hey I don't know which game you're going to this week, but you need to be aware this is the first weekend where it's going to be like full board jacket weather

By the time the Saturday games kick off. It's going to be in like the 40s or low 50s in Knoxville Saturday night. So be ready because I know it's warm out there, children, but there's a big sweeping classical fall cold front moving through the lower 48. So don't get caught off guard. By the way, Academy's got everything you need. I'll tell you about that in a little while. So let's dive into Week 7. We've already picked, I think, three games the other night before the old voice gave out.
