Summary

One of Until Saturday's most dedicated listeners, Sad Husker Nate, did it again. He left another gem of a question for Ari Wasserman, Sam Khan Jr., and Mitch Light on the Until Saturday Phone Line (316-462-9852): Who's on our Mount Rushmore of CFB Villains? The trio go meta with some of their choices (like the Pac-12's cognoscenti that destroyed the conference), but weren't bashful about naming some names (like Michigan's Jim Harbaugh). Baylor is gambling on Dave Aranda after consecutive losing seasons. Why did AD Mack Rhodes decide to retain Aranda? Sam takes us inside his excellent story before the group delves into a bigger picture conversation: What's a fair timeline for a coach? Lastly, EA Sports NCAA 25 dropped a bombshell on us last Friday. Read Sam's Dave Aranda story: https://theathletic.com/5467548/2024/05/06/dave-aranda-baylor-football/ Who's the Big 12 dark horse?

0:20.8	buddies, Sam Khan.

0:34.0	In the front half of the show, we're going to dive into the reverse
0:38.6	of the Mount Rushmore of college coaches.
0:41.0	That's the Mount Rushmore of villains. And as we get into that, just want to have
0:46.3	a disclaimer that we're not talking about off the field terrible people, we're talking about villains and
0:51.8	characters in the sport so we will also
0:55.6	discuss the NCAA 25 cover reaction because there were a lot of different ways
1:01.4	that EA Sports could have gone with that.
1:03.3	It was leaked by the PlayStation store last week, and I'm very curious to see what you guys think,
1:07.6	Mitch, did you ever play the game or are you too old?
1:09.6	No, I was going to say, I am in that sweet spot age-wise huge Tecmo Bowl fan obsessed in college
