Welcome to the Andy Staples show.

It is a Wednesday.

That means Nicole Auerbach is here, and that means we get a little power hour, Nicole.

I mean, this is a big, newsy week, but we also have a lot of games to talk about the games that happened last Saturday,

plus the ones coming this Saturday, so there will be a lot more football chatter than we've had on these shows.

Because I feel like it's been almost all COVID all the time.

And it's no good.

No.

And I think now that everyone's going to play, all 10 FBS leagues are going to play in the fall, we can start talking about games. The weekends are getting more filled out. I don't know about you, but last Saturday, it felt like a normal football Saturday. There were enough games, finally, where it was like, okay, here, one game isn't good. I have five other options,

which hasn't been the case. And it felt like there were big results, results that,

holy cow, you know, Oklahoma lost, LSU lost, and you can, you can chew on that. You can

actually, you know, freak out about some of the things that happened, like George's first half.

And we'll talk about that a little

bit later because, you know, when Matt Fortuna and I broke it down right after it happened, we were

very busy overreacting to everything. And now that we've had some time between those games and now,

I feel like we're going to have a little more sober conversation about it. Or maybe we don't.

I don't know.

Well, it is a power hour.

So it's kind of like, are we drinking water today?

Maybe we're drinking water.

We're sobering up.

We are recording this at like noon, Nicole.
