This is an IHeart podcast.

All right, welcome in. Latekick is live. It is Thursday night. It is April 2nd now. New Month, New Us, the year of our Lord 2020. We, as always, are happy to have you with us. We've got a jam-pack show tonight. In fact, it is so jam-packed that, again, we push like 20% of it down the road until Sunday because, believe it or not, when you're in the industry, you get advanced intel, and our advanced intel says nothing much is going to happen in the college football world between now and then. But we do have a jam-packed show nonetheless. If you haven't already, a lot of you are on the channel already and the chat already. Subscribe to the channel and click the bell for notifications. That lets you know when we go live, when we post anything new, yada, yada, yada. We had a ton of new traffic for the Late Kick podcast. A lot of you had been asking about it. So there's a link to the podcast in the show notes below. If you're watching live, if you're watching the replay, whatever the case may be, head over there. And while you're there, only if you like the show, give us a five-star review and give us one of those written reviews, too, because that really, really helps us out as it does when you click the thumbs up button as 19 of you, hopefully and counting, have already done. So tonight, we're going all around the world of college football, quite literally. I'm going to touch on Oregon and Mario Cristobal and how if you're not already paying attention to them, you really need to be paying attention. And it extends well beyond the Pac-12 and it extends well beyond just Oregon football. I'm also going to talk about really something that I've thought about Brian Kelly and Notre Dame for a little while. I was on Irish Illustrated.com earlier today with Tom Loy and the guys over there,

and I was sort of bouncing around some of the observations that I've made and some of the theories I've had on Notre Dame and some of the Notre Dame fans agreed, some didn't, but had really good,

healthy discussion there today. Also, we always get asked about stadiums, and so I figured here we are,

it's April 2nd, spring's canceled, we'll talk about some stadiums and not about stadiums, and so I figured here we are, it's April 2nd,

Springs canceled, we'll talk about some stadiums and not just stadiums in the sense of

how big are they and how loud are they, but maybe some stuff that you don't get to see.

And yes, back by extremely popular demand, we got more All Access stories tonight.

And specifically, I'm going to go a story that's going to span over a three-year

period, and it's going to involve Tennessee, and it's going to involve a guy that a lot of you

love to hate on, even though he's captioned like six figures per month from the University

of Tennessee to this day, and that would be Butch Jones. So stick around. We got a jam-packed

show. Let's get started. And I want to start with the

following piece of breaking news. Mario Cristobal's building a monster at Oregon. And I want you to

pay attention to how it's happening because it's nothing new. It's a blueprint that's been used before.

It is duplicable. It's hard. It's not easy, but it's duplicable. Do you remember the SEC before Urban

Meyer? Take your mind back with me. Let's just venture down the road, down memory lane together.

Urban Meyer is at Utah. Urban Meyer's tearing it up there, and the SEC is back then what the

SEC was. And if you were to use adjectives to describe

South Eastern Conference football pre-Urubin Meyer, I wrote down power, physical, big,

you understand. That was the style of play in the conference. Teams were really good

down here. And do you remember along with me when Urban Meyer got hired at Florida?
