This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back another edition of the Late Kick Extra podcast, but it's Friday, March 25th,

the Eurolord, 2022. This product normally does not drop in your podcast feed on a Friday. But as you know, things get a little sideways sometimes in a good way around here in the spring. And that's the whole thing about having a dream job, which I claim to have. And I believe I have. if you grind away like only we can in the fall

and we do Lake Kick Live and you're on the road 16 weeks in a row,

if you do all that, to have, and I believe I have. If you grind away like only we can in the fall, and we do

late kick live and you're on the road 16 weeks in a row, if you do all that, the high-level mustache is in management. Some of hoops are in the building even as I record this, so let me be quiet. Some of them will look at you and they'll turn a blind eye and say, go chase tornadoes in the spring if you want to.

And so that's what I was doing this week.

I was down in, shout out to Hattiesburg, Meridian, Laurel, Mississippi, Heidelberg, So-So, Mississippi. I met people in every one of those communities, made sure to give you guys a shout-out, as promised, at random gas stations. I was down there earlier this week. So we pushed the Lake Kick Extra Pot a little bit later in the week. I appreciate you working with me on that. Early guidance looks like it may be the same way next week. So we'll see. But we've got a wall-to-wall mail bag for you this morning or afternoon or evening whenever you're choosing to listen. Appreciate you guys so much. Anytime you want to submit questions at late kick Josh, Twitter, at late kick Josh, Instagram. Of course, the email inbox is open as well, Josh Pate 706 at gmail.com, but I do want to give you like a 10 second thank you. We're continuing to do this the way we're doing it because the numbers continue to be there. And the way we do it around here, for those of you who are new and haven't been around, we just do college

football year round. I'm aware March madness is going on. I'm aware the draft is coming up. I understand that opening day of Major League Baseball is coming up. And if you want to talk about those things, there are plenty of shows to do it. But I know a lot of you love college football and you want a place where you can just talk about it in some shape, form, or fashion year-round and keep all the

outside stuff on the outside. That is late kick, and that is what we're about here. So with that, let's dive in. First question is from Mac, and he said, Josh, what are some of the best non-conference matchups you're looking forward to this fall? Well, we've got several of them now. I want to qualify what I'm

going to say. Most of the games I'm going to mention, I think all of them, in fact, are going to be in the first three weeks of the season. I understand we have a lot of rivalry games at the end of the year. Florida plays Florida State every year. We have a lot of out-of-conference rivalry games every year. But let's talk about the September matchups. And there are some of them that maybe you

haven't gotten a preview magazine season yet, so maybe you haven't looked and you aren't aware these games are happening. Well, let me tell you, there are some big ones. So in no particular order, I mean, we've got Cincinnati going to Arkansas. Do you guys realize that? Last year, Arkansas played someone, it may have been rice. I think we were chanting don't lose to Arkansas. Do you guys realize that? Last year, Arkansas played someone, it may have been

rice. I think we were chanting, don't lose to food when Arkansas opened the season last year.

So they played rice. Well, this year they opened against Cincinnati. So that's a playoff team.

Coming into Fayetteville, that's not a neutral sight game. Also, the backyard brawl, producer Jesse,

overly excited about this when you got West Virginia

and Pitt. Utah is going to Florida. That's not a neutral site game. I want to make sure you

understand that because Georgia versus Oregon, for example, is another game I'm looking at. That's

Dan Lanning's opener, former Georgia defensive coordinator now head coach at Oregon. Well, they

open in Atlanta. Now, our friends out west will say, what are you talking, now head coach at Oregon. Well, they open in Atlanta.

Now, our friends out west will say, what are you talking about? That's not neutral.

That would be like us playing a neutral game in Portland. Yeah, I get that. But it is being played
