This is an IHeart podcast.

I know the other day when I released the JP poll, I said that signified the start

of college football season, but friends, even I underestimated how said that signified the start of college football season, but friends,

The discourse, the arguments, the polite conversation, the outright hate and Villatrol, all of which I have room for in my life have been overwhelming the past 48 hours, I guess at this point. We're back.

already open in some places. Camps are about to open everywhere. We got a loaded mailbag. I'm Josh

Pate. This is the late kick extra podcast. Not to be confused with late kick live. This is mailbag only.

This is podcast only.

Make sure you're subscribed. As of this morning, we're the number one college football podcast in the world. We are the number one college football digital media show in the world.

That's because of you. And that's because of you recruiting five of your friends.

Just continue to do what you guys are doing. We are flying very high in the eyes of management right now.

At Lake Kick Josh, Twitter and Instagram, that's how you can submit questions.

I waste no more of your time this morning.

We dive in and I'm going right to the hard hitting stuff.
