When did you meet with Smith?

All right, weekend report is here.

I want to tell you it is unequivocal.

James Franklin cares about gamblers.

Rico, I need you to help me whether this was delightful or douchey.

favorite.

He decided I'm going to go fake kneel down with a backup QB and launch a bomb.

To cover the number at Northwestern, is that delightful or douchey?

Because you know where I'm at.

It's delightful for you, Mike, because as you say, good teams win, great teams cover and

great coaches care about their boosters who are betting on all the matter.

The more you cover as a coach, the friendlier people are going to be to you.

That's my theory.

I would rather you just come out and say, yeah, I knew what I was doing instead of the

whole aw, shucks, one time I want a coach to come out and say, you know what?

I know our alums, and I know what bet they made today.

That was for you.

Yeah, just look at the camera and point and say, guys, that was for you.

And those you know, you know, what trouble would a coach get into for covering the number?

Oh my God.

Come on.
