Welcome to Andy and Ari on three, very special day, big guests today.

In-state coach James Franklin joins the show.

And Ari, it's a wide-ranging conversation.

And I was very intrigued by a few of the things that James Franklin said.

Yeah, you know, it's interesting because James Franklin catches a lot of strays, sometimes

even from me.

James Franklin is one of the longest tenured coaches in college football, and he just

led Penn State to doing something that I didn't realize hadn't been done since they

joined the Big Ten, which is an interesting framing discussion.

I know you have a column up on On Three right now about, you know, the alignment and all the things that we are discussing.

But it's like, where do you actually place James Franklin in the pantheon of college football coaches?

Because I had him very underranked and it made people mad.

And I think that you had him higher.

And I feel like he's a very, I don't know, like, controversial.

He's a very divisive figure in the sport.

And you know what I actually have no pulse for and would love to know?

Like, where are Penn State fans with him?

Because I know when he got his extension, they were not 100% on board with that.

Are more people have they come around?

Or are people still iffy on him in state college specifically?

I get the sense that it's a split.

I get the sense to the split.
