Summary

In Hour 2… (3:00) Friend of the program Jason Fitz stopped by for the beginning of the second hour to talk some football, both at the collegiate and NFL levels. First, the guys and Fitz discussed how many schools are starting to stray away from hosting a spring game, and how that will impact the college schedule and offseason going forward. They also discussed Deion Sanders proposal to either play another school for the spring game and/or playing NFL teams. (19:30) Fitz stuck around to discuss the Bengals WR duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins getting paid on Monday Morning, and the lasting legacy that the 2019 LSU Tigers Roster continues to have on the game. Between the group of Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Derek Stingley Jr, they’ve netted nearly $700M in NFL earnings. Many viewed the 2019 Tigers as the best college football team of all-time, and six years later they’re still giving people reasons to believe it. (38:00) GoJo put out perhaps his most compelling debate of all-time over the weekend on his BlueSky account. His theory stated “every food can be paired with either hot sauce or peanut butter successfully.” Junior, Senior and Jessie spent some time debating this question, including trying to come up with some foods that wouldn’t meet the prerequisites. (44:20) This, That and The Third THIS: “National Corrupt Athletic Association” THAT: Hair Loss Drug or Alzheimer’s Cure?

0:08.4	Spring football is going through a total facelift right now across college football.
0:13.8	Dionne Sanders has a pretty radical idea for how he wants to change it.
0:18.3	And someone else already agrees with him.
0:20.0	Gojo and Golick, Michael, Jr., Michael O'KSignor and Jesse Coffield here with you guys.
0:23.9	Hour number two on a Tuesday can only mean one thing.
0:27.2	Our buddy Jason Fitz, host an analyst over at Yahoo Sports.

0:34.0	He was all over there.
0:34.7	Coverage of March Madness and the bracket reveals as well.
0:38.2	So Jason, good morning, man. How you doing? I'm spectacular hanging out with you guys. And yeah,
0:43.3	like, let's just face it, every evolution of college football right now is going to be, how is it
0:47.3	more like the NFL? That's just when I saw Dion's comments about putting in a spring game than making them joint practices. And the first thing I thought is, yep, maybe he's, and at the end of the day, I don't mind
0:58.1	any of that. I just right on my soapbox. But like, there's just a part of me that looks at it
1:02.0	says the job of college in any profession is to prepare you for the next level of what you
1:07.7	want to do in your life. If college football wants to better prepare NFL
1:11.5	players by offering things like, I don't know, joint practices in a spring game against
1:15.4	actual opponents, which is a better chance to evaluate and grow, I'm in for it. It certainly
1:20.3	does seem to mimic the more NFL model that we're also going to with all of this. Like, I don't
1:25.2	know if you guys have seen and most fans probably won't even have this register on the Richter scale,
1:29.2	because I'm assuming a lot of them thought this was happening already,
1:32.2	but like the NCAA just got bullied again in court and took away the rule
