0:03.9

Some of y'all are going to hate it. We want to know everything you think in the comments. Make sure you're subscribed. We're almost to 200,000k. Y'all knew where to come after they got dropped. Probably watched our Power Rankings episode from today. David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback, obviously, Blaine Crane as well, Western State, Colorado wide receiver. just I want instant thoughts

instant thoughts and then I'll give you mine

0:26.4

Coen to head doesn't matter.

0:30.2

It's, Cohn, I'll start with you, you're just, you're seeing it. And 25 to 1 quickly, I'm going to go 25 to 1.
