Summary
In a fun-filled edition of Dear Andy and Ari, the guys run the gamut giving their opinion on Miami's ceiling and debating if they can win the Coastal. Should programs play two quarterbacks at once to mitigate, or eliminate the possibility entirely, the chances of one of them leaving? Can less talented programs challenge the nation's best teams by embracing a 'Moneyball '/analytical system? Lastly, Ari describes the art of the opening line and shares his experience helping his friends (both male and female) connect with potential love interests. Oh, and we conceptualize a sequel to the movie "Hitch"...watch out Hollywood.
