| 0:08.4 | That's what we do on Tuesdays. |
| 0:10.1 | And we talk about spring games because there were spring games this weekend. |
| 0:13.5 | And the more I actually went back and rewatched it yesterday after the show. |
| 0:18.5 | And the more I think about it, is Bryce Underwood going to be a bust? |
| 0:26.8 | Is my question of the day? |
| 0:28.8 | Yes or no? |
| 0:29.9 | Like when you look back at his college career, will Bryce Underwood be a bust? |
| 0:36.0 | Just based off hype, it doesn't mean he won't be a three-year starter |
| 0:39.2 | it doesn't mean he will get beat out but when you look at it he was the number one quarterback |
| 0:42.4 | of the country and I did an eight-year kind of look back on the top two quarterbacks in |

| 1:34.4 | myself though chris how was your fucking monday how was how was it good and i'm really excited for |
| 1:38.5 | this conversation because i do think we are seeing more bus quarterback wise than we ever have seen |
| 1:42.9 | before in college football you know why i think that Why? Because instead of people going to a place that development is a premium, they're going to a place for a paycheck immediately.
