8.30 a.m. Pacific, we are breaking down all of Saturday's games. That's right, 8.30 a.m. Pacific, we are a West Coast bias podcast here, which is a rarity in this business.

Later on, we got the mailbag and an apology to stew.

Interesting.

We'll talk about John Mateer and a very, what could be a pretty

pivotal injury for Oklahoma. And we'll talk about the coaching carousel probably at the start here.

But first, I got a haircut. How good do I look? First of all, did you guys notice that I got a haircut?

No, I mean, you said, you, you tipped your, you know, you told us over text, but like if you hadn't, no, it wouldn't have noticed. But that's not personal to you. That's just guys, it's not dramatic. It's just guys being guys. Yeah. So I need to ask this too. So there was a point in my life when I used to like let my hair grow out a little bit and then I didn't. And then like certain times of the year, my wife liked my hair when it was longer. But I have very curly, wavy hair. So it's not when I say long hair, it would not go down to like my shoulders because it just didn't grow that way. But now as it get older, like long makes me look older and disheveled, right?

Like when you have very little on top and you grow out your hair, that's not a great look.

So how often are you guys getting your haircut these days?

Because I'm getting it cut more often than ever before.

And, you know, again, it's an adjustment. Well, no, even before. Even before. And, you know, again, it's an adjustment.

Well, no, even before.

Even before I started presenting myself, though I'm far more conscious of it now that

my beautiful face is on YouTube three times a week.

But what about you guys?

Like, are you a couple times a month, a couple times,

like once a week kind of deal? Because it seems like your hairstyle stay the same all the time.

Like you're always maintaining like this is how long my hair should be. No, my sweet spot is like

about five weeks. And you know, if it's a little sooner than that, great.
