Hey, what's going on? This is the started on self podcast presented to you by Texas

Pete. I'm kind of on Kero. Well, I am old enough to remember a time in which I thought,

hmm, we might not have an SEC head coach fired this year. Oh, yikes. Jimbo on Sunday is

Akronet on Monday. Shout out to Mississippi State for making that decision 9 a.m. on a Monday.

That is chef's kiss. I know we talk about how much we get cold taked with coach firings

because they always seem to happen about an hour after we record or something like that.

But a Monday morning, when you're already in the thick of it, you're like, oh, boom, I

can react to this. We're good to go. Thank you, Mississippi State for doing right by us,

big J's in the business. Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. Cake week, of course. And yes,

it's cake week, not cupcake week. Ari Wasserman, he's going to join us to talk about Michigan.

Some very strong opinions to have some of the 12 team playoff fast food items in general.

Of course, we always discuss with Ari. And then we're going to get into some Jimbo context

on the weird ending in college station and more. But let's talk Mississippi State first.

When you saw that Zach Arnet was fired, did you think to yourself, those are just respecters

of the 335 or man, I wish I could have that Kevin Barbay draft pick back in our coordinator

draft. You know, be too well. But I will say that was the second and third thing I thought.

First thing was, hey, 225 area code, like number your phone, maybe give him a day to process

it or so. Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly, Gidzack Arnet tomorrow.

Get him tomorrow. Sometimes you're not calling badgers. Sometimes badgers call on you.

Amen. Well, Amen. Yeah. 10 games. That's, that's all Zach Arnet got. And in hindsight,

I think bad timing. And I don't fault the move at all to promote him to full time head coach.

I really don't. I think that we can look back and say, oh, this is why you don't hire a defensive
