Our poll question on Twitter at the team 980, which rookie do you think is going to have the most productive season for the commanders on offense?

Jalen Lane or Jacori Kroski Merritt. So go vote for that. Let us know in 20 minutes, I got five hot takes for the commander season that I will run past you.

And then I want your hottest take at 301-2-3-0-0-0-0-980.

That'll be in 20 minutes.

But coming up right now, week zero of college football is here.

I am incredibly excited, as most of you know, massive college football guy,

and we're finally getting real games back to preview my guy, Rob Brown,

from the BetMGM Network, you can hear him,

bet for the cycle, 12 to new or 12 to 4 on Saturdays for at least two more weeks,

and then he's every day in South Carolina, the fan upstate. Rob Brown, what's happening? Buddy, if I could get them to pay me the same amount of money to work from 12 to noon, it would be the greatest job of my life. And it's already a great job because they give me money to talk about college football. You're getting paid that same amount of money to talk for one minute is what my dreams are made of. I can fill a minute. I mean, we all have big aspirations. Mine were always to share the airwaves with Denton Day, and would you look at that dreams come true? I thought you said big aspirations. Never mind. All right. So week zero, we got a ranked matchup, which we don't normally get in

week zero. I know they try and give us at least a couple big schools, but the Iowa State, Kansas

state is obviously the headliner. It's in Ireland. It's two teams that are in the top 25. As we just

start there, what are you looking at in that game? Do you have a lean in that one?

I do. I am going with Kansas State.

I am laying the points on this one, and there's really a couple of reasons why. The first is I am

bought in on Avery Johnson being a dude, and some games like this one, it really feels like having the best playmaker on the

field can be the difference of what happens on the field. And I do think that's Avery Johnson,

but there's a couple of other things that jump out. And I know that there are already people

going, wait a minute, Rob Brown, they had them last year, and they lost this exact same game. But I would also point out, you had a turnover on, what was it, the opening kicker,

the opening drive that Iowa State punched it in. Kansas State was kind of playing from behind.

I am not going to bet against the favorite because of fluke turnover.

So I'm going to go with Kansas State for just having the better player overall.
