Guaranteed human.

It's a really weird fun time of year here on the Pate State campus. I know that in 99.9% of your

0:24.4

personal lives right now, there's a fair amount of college basketball being mixed in. Yeah,

0:27.9

you may be paying attention to spring football practice, but spring is about to have sprung all over

0:33.5

the country. A lot going on. Man, we've had like a busy time here. All the stuff we're

0:38.0

going to do in the fall you meet about during the spring. So it's been a busy time. It's been a very, very, very, very hectic time, but in the best of ways. We're jam-packed. We're high atop of a lively. Wow, do I mean lively? Downtown Nashville, Tennessee on this Thursday, March 19th, the year of our lord 20206 and you know what fanduel did in the midst of all this jesse they dropped

0:55.6

odds to win conferences on us and March 19th, the Year of Our Lord, 2006. And you know what Fanduel did in the midst of all this,

0:54.9

Jesse, they dropped odds to win conferences on us. And you got SEC, you got Big Ten, you got ACC,

1:00.6

big 12. They're all out there. I'm fresh off the road. So I'm just getting to talk to you guys

1:05.1

about this for the first time. I've got some thoughts, as you would expect one to have. I've got to expect you have thoughts on

1:12.0

this as well. Fandle does not ask me how I think the odds should be listed. I may have listed

1:18.8

the odds a little bit differently. I will talk to you about that. I'll give you some good old

1:22.0

fashion behind the scenes, nuggets, a little bit of an observational report on our road trip down to Atlanta to meet

1:29.5

with Georgia Tech and Brent Key and then down to Auburn to meet with Alex Golish and the Tigers

1:34.1

there. We got a truth about Mario Cristobal on the show tonight. It shouldn't be breaking news.

1:39.4

It's stuff that we've said for like five years now, or a better part of five years, but I'll

1:43.3

talk about that. I'll talk about the Georgia mood tracker. It is the middle of college football season, as far as I'm concerned. They're watching us in Columbus, Ohio, Fresno, California, Birmingham, Alabama, Roanoke, Virginia. Thank you so much.

I'll probably go to somewhere between 15 and 20 Camp I, which if you're new around here, is the plural of campus. And I'll sit down with a bunch of head coaches. We got two more big ones next week and, you know, like a dozen or so after that. And they're just long-form sit-downs. They're really fun. It's my favorite thing I think that we do all year. So expect that to continue. We'll be back on the road next week. But next week is for next week. This is for now. Fanduel has released the odds to win conferences. And I'm looking at the Big Ten right now. And I was thinking about my confidence

2:35.0

meter. I was telling Jesse, how should we go about this? I don't want to just randomly say one

2:39.5

thing per team. I want to talk about my confidence that Team X or Team Y or Team Z could win this

2:48.4

conference. So with the Big Ten, Ohio State, yes, I have no doubt about that.

2:54.7
