Summary
With many teams kicking off their spring practices, Ari, David, and Manny whip around the country to check in on programs! Using sounds from practices, the guys launch into discussions about Notre Dame, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Miami, Florida State and more! Can Mike Denbrock guide the Irish and Riley Leonard to the next level? Is Bobby Petrino the life raft Sam Pittman really needs? Will the Tide revert to pre-Saban status? Mario Cristobal and Billy Napier are in prove-it years. Later, the trio react to Yahoo's Ross Dellenger's reports about the SEC and Big Ten wanting exclusive first-round byes and the lion's share of CFP revenue dollars. Lastly, David pokes holes in sports movies' plots.
