Welcome to the Andy Staples show.

Full-ish weekend edition.

We have games to talk about.

We have lots and lots of games to talk about,

presuming they haven't been canceled.

We are recording this.

We got a timestamp it these days.

Recording this on Thursday afternoon.

Hopefully most of the games we talk about today will be played on Saturday.

Joining me, as he does every Friday, Ari Wasserman the Athletics Recruiting Writer and Gambling

Aficionado, we're going to talk some numbers.

Ari seemed surprised when I texted you and said we're going to talk lions and over-unders. Yeah, I wasn't anticipating it, but I don't know if I'm a gambling offici Ionato. You know more than me. I mean, you're no Stuart Medell, but come on. Who is? Yeah, I mean, I don't toss dimes around, but like, we'll, you know, we'll see what we can do.

Last week, I was in Las Vegas for the first time ever on a college football Saturday,

because I wasn't covering a team for the first time in 10 years.

And this is kind of a weird year, and I got to say, you could have still gone to Vegas if you were covering that team, Ari.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I will say that, like, if the time ever comes where I'm no longer in this profession, and I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, I will be sitting in a sports book every Saturday for the rest of my life. It's good to have goals. It's good to know what you want out of life. No, I'd be all right with that. I've never done the first weekend in the NCAA tournament in Vegas or any of that. I think that would be a lot

of fun. And I think a big college football weekend would be a lot of fun too. And last weekend,

probably not the ideal college football weekend for that because it was a pretty thin one.

This one, there's some stuff going on now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
