Summary

Stoney (in for Valenti) and Rico opened today's show with their thoughts on UCLA head coach Mick Cronin both ejecting one of his own players and losing his mind at a reporter after the game against MSU. They spent the second hour discussing which countries they root against most in the Olympics before asking a Lions-related question in the third hour.
