Welcome back to The Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Ralph Russo from The Athletic.

Joined today again by my colleague Stuart Mandel.

And again, there's only two of us, Bruce Feldman.

Our other colleague is out and about, I believe, next week, finally.

We're not sure if he's ever coming back, to be honest.

I mean, you know, the funny thing is, Stu, you go to Europe, me, I go to Europe.

Bruce goes to football camps with his son.

He's probably like chatting up and he's probably taking like scouting reports of a bunch of 12-year-olds that he's going to like, you know, empty the notebook on us in a couple of years when they're at a league 11.

There's no question.

We're getting a call by the end of the week.

I always, yeah, ran into the Cowboys Strength Coach and we were, yeah, we chatted for an hour or so, and I found out X, Y, and Z.

Got this interesting intel on North Texas's offensive line. Yeah, that's how Bruce goes on vacation.

On today's show, we're going to hit the mailbag, as always. We bring on a special guest, Lucy Rodin.

She is, she covers college football.

Independently, you may know her from her days on the Dan Lebitard show and those college

football road trips. She was an interesting perspective. Iowa slanted in some ways. As always,

we start off with a little bit of news. Today is realignment day, Stu. Like all the things

that we have been talking about and covering in realignment and things that are still

trickle downs from Texas, Oklahoma, Stu, all those go into effect on July 1st. We have

Mount West and Pact 12, all these things.

And I guess the one thing I was going to ask is to before I quiz you on how well you're keeping up on this stuff is, yeah, like, we are still doing the trickle down from Oklahoma, Texas, too.
