This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome at Lake Kick is live.

It is Sunday night, December 19th, the year of our Lord, 2021 jam-packed, high atop,

downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

You know, imagine a sport that is all year long.

There is no season, really, because we celebrated around here all year long.

So, yeah, we're close to Christmas, but we're still live here, and we will have things running for you during Christmas and through Christmas.

And, of course,

we got ahead somewhere, which I'm about to announce in just like 45 seconds to a minute from now

for the college football playoff semifinals. And then we will obviously be full speed ahead into

2022 and also headed to Steve Wilfog's hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana for the national

championship game. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We get the Jampack show tonight. We've got a lot to get to. Bowls are underway. Some people out there claim that we need to fix bowl season. I get where you're coming from. We have been offering solutions on this program ever since before Director Colin and I even met. Before I was down in Columbus doing things independently, I will refresh your memory as to how we got to get

this thing back on track. The kids made the mess. The adults have to clean it up as usual. We will

discuss that tonight. Also, the early signing day bomb that went off in this sport, for lack of a

better term, it still kind of got a big mushroom cloud above it. So we really still can't

make sense of what just happened. But I want to tell you, I think an earth shifting, at least

the future of college footballs, earth shifting bunch of stuff happened on signing day. And I'm

talking about several programs and the things that we'll be talking about in 22, 23, 24 when it comes to this time of year may have been decided the other day. You just don't know it yet because you can't see the future. I'm going to discuss that. We have to dust off the mood tracker tonight. It is time to do a Florida state mood tracker. You talk about a bomb going off. You talk about unexpected things happening. Travis Hunter is not a Florida

State Seminole, nor will he be. And it was tough. It was tough for the Seminole fans there on

signing day. It was jaw-dropping for the rest of us. I'm there hosting in Fort Lauderdale.

We've got an entire production team behind the wall scrambling. I got Andrew Evans and I think it was Chris Singletary at the time or Cooper Protegna

was on set.
