The pride, passion, and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Pinebaum Show, Our 2 podcast.

This might be college football.

Hey, welcome back.

We can't wait to get going here on our next guest.

We can't have to talk to J.D.

McKell from On 3.

JD, good afternoon.

I hope you've been in trance with all this spring football.

I mean, we got 11-11 football being played. I don't care the quarterback's non-contact. I don't care. A lot of these aren't on TV. The college football sickos find their fix during spring practice.

We're not going to announce this yet, but we'll keep it just between us. I think it's truly going to be a battle here until they announced it publicly during fall camp. But I think we all kind of understand this thing's going to end with Keel and Roussel being Kovie and probably playing game one for him. And J.D., assuming that is correct, and I agree with you, what does it mean?
