This is an IHeart podcast.

All right, welcome to Lake Higgis live. It is Thursday night, June 24, The Year of Our Lord,

2021. For those of you watching the live stream, I know it seems kind of wonky, but for those of you watching the replay, it's all going to make sense in the end. Jampack show tonight. Summer has officially started by the time we get out of summer, we will be three weeks into the college football season. So just to give you a little idea of context and where we are in the grand scheme of things, time, time, time. My favorite hooting the blowfish song, by the way. We got a jam-pack show tonight, the Arizona State dossier, which you heard me talk about last week, and a lot of you gave me feedback on last week. I have a little different angle to take on tonight, and we got to go a little bit further in depth on that, because I think maybe what I said last week was misconstrued into thinking that I was somehow endorsing every step that the NCAA has taken and implementing rules on this. It's not like that at all, but yet rules are rules. So we're going to dive a little bit further because that dossier and parts of it have started to leak. How about 2021 with Dan Mullen? I think this is probably, it's not his make or break season or anything like that, but I think it's a defining year for Dan Mullen. I'm going to give you several reasons. I was talking to someone about this earlier today and I just decided, hey, let's make it a topic on the show. Also talking earlier today on Twitter about Georgia and Texas A&M. And I said, hey, if someone were to come from the future, and they told you, I just came back from 2025 and one of those two has won a national title by them, do you want to guess which one it is? Where would you go? Because voting was very close. Could be headed for a runoff, as a matter of fact, voting very close on that, all that, big 12 swing games. And we got some more, too.

So make sure you're following the social channels at Latekick Josh, Instagram, and Twitter.

And I appreciate you guys so much getting us over 1,500 five-star reviews on the Late Kick podcast.

I mean, we're approaching 1,600 now. But man, I was scrolling through some of those five-star reviews today, and you can leave a written review while you do that. And we had one from a guy named Tim. And man, I got to read you guys this because this was how I started my day. We get a lot, you'd be surprised at how many emails I get that are like this. But this one was public. And so because it was public, I figured I could share it

with you guys. Tim puts in his podcast review, I'm at home recovering from a severe cancer-related

surgery and recovery. Without ever smoking or chewing or drinking in my life, I've developed

aggressive tongue cancer. It's been difficult. Two major surgeries so far, nine months in.

I picked up on this show one afternoon while browsing YouTube, and I was hooked. It was the best, most consistently high quality, frequently posted show on college football available. Not only that, it's helped keep my mind occupy with something other than the tough road ahead and the pain I'm facing. Thanks to Josh and crew for helping keep it positive. I want to tell you, Tim, I've never met you before. That meant the world to all of us. I mean, it meant the world to us, more than you can know. And I know a lot of times we joke around on the show about how we don't have an off season. We don't acknowledge the off season. But there's a lot of seriousness to it too. Because once upon a time, I was telling Colin before we started the show tonight, this pales in comparison to going through something like cancer. But once upon a time, I was working a job, just a normal job I didn't like. And I remember that what got me through the day was listening to shows that I liked. And so to think that we're in a position now, whether you're a truck driver, whether you're in a hospital, whether you're in a bad family situation or whatever, the fact that we could be in a position to put out a product that's scaled enough at this point

and is spread enough to where we can actually impact just a little bit,

just microscopic change and positivity in people's lives,

it makes us take what we do very, very seriously.

So I want to appreciate it. I want to thank you to him. We

all appreciate it. And prayers to you, brother, keep us updated. Whatever come. I mean, you can email me if you don't want to put it out there publicly. Josh Pate 706 at gmail.com. A lot of you do that. This is not the first email or feedback we've ever gotten like that by any stretch. But yeah, always love, even if it's tough, for you guys to submit things like that because it makes the show more than just a show. It kind of makes it community. All right, let's shift gears here. Let's dive into the show tonight. This whole Arizona State dossier thing, yeah, we found a perfectly good reason to use the word dossier in college football. A lot of you watched

the show last week. And if you didn't, maybe you saw the Arizona State individual video. And you remember when this story was breaking last week, if you don't remember, the very, very quick 10 second summary is we had a dead period for 15 months in college football because of COVID. You weren't allowed to take visits anywhere. You weren't allowed to have kids on campus. and Arizona State apparently violated that.

Now again, the evidence has not put,

it's not been put in front of us. take visits anywhere. You weren't allowed to have kids on campus. And Arizona State apparently violated that.

Now, again, the evidence has not put, it's not been put in front of us individually, but Pete Thammel at Yahoo is doing a pretty darn good job of coming as close to it as possible. But I talked about that last week. And I told you it's a big deal. I told you I thought people were going to lose their jobs because of it. And sometimes you guys surprise me.

Not often, but sometimes you do.

And you surprised me last week.

Because when we did that
