Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Thunderdome.

0:05.2

On this BA Day, December 30th, 2025, this sports program begins right now.

0:13.7

Football!

0:15.3

He! is the greatest. That cadence came from a man who was coached football for 47 years,

0:19.4

Super Bowl champion multiple time.

0:22.6

Ladies and gentlemen, Coach, Bruce Ariens is here.

0:24.1

Oh, at the heart.

0:24.7

I like that.

0:25.4

We're throwing up the heart. Yeah, baby. I like that. Hey, hold on now. It's a new year. Yeah. Well? Well, close. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I love the last year, though. Oh, it's been a great year, hasn't it?

0:34.4

Beautiful.

0:34.8

And whenever I said December 30th, 2025, there literally as it was coming out of my mouth,

0:38.6

my brain was like, holy hell, 2025 is over.

0:41.2

Yeah. great year having it. Beautiful. And whenever I said December 30th, 2025, there literally as it was

0:37.9

coming out of my mouth, my brain was like, holy hell, 2025 is over. Yeah. Tomorrow night, New Year's

0:42.9

Eve, we'll be live from the Cotton Bowl on the sideline as the Miami Hurricanes take on the Ohio

0:47.4

State Buccas down there in Jerry World. Go ahead and celebrate the hell out of 2025 and New Year's Eve.

0:57.3

With us on ESPN 2 or on ABC or ESPN.

1:01.1

It should be a great game and the college football playoffs have delivered this year.

1:06.8

We've had some magical moments. Now, there were a couple of smaller schools that got blown out and their asses beat.

1:10.9

But that's what it's all about. More schools get a shot to shine. And for New Year's Eve, the things that are going to be shining, maybe Tony going crazy. Maybe Jeremiah Smith, wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes. I'll tell you what, he's from South Florida down there. And they're saying a lot of mean things about Jeremiah Smith. And in return, Jeremiah Smith, it's kind of saying the same things back. It feels like we got a nice little joust happening between the South Florida boys that are certainly going to be a part of this game and take over this game potentially. This running back right here, massive, strong, fast, saw him against Texas A&M. And then on the other side, Julian Sane, first year starter for the Ohio State Buck guys. I think he has like a 90% completion rate or whatever it is. The guy is seemingly unflappable. The Indiana University Hoosiers, obviously, beat the Ohio State. Buck guys, the last time we saw them play football in the Big Ten Championship. They had a buy. We saw Christobal and the boys of Miami go into a windy college station and get a huge win for their program. Who will continue their hunt for a CFP National Championship?

2:02.6

That's tomorrow night. And then the Rose Bowl is on New Year's Day as Alabama takes on Indiana at 4 p.m.
