This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in.

Lake Kick is live.

It is Sunday night, June 27th, View of Our Lord, 2021. Jam packed, as jam packed can be for June or really for any month, at least until we get to September.

And then it just kicks up into a whole other year. The regulars know what it's like. Those of you who are new will soon know what it's like.

But man, speaking of all of you, you just continue to open doors. I know I keep saying this stuff and you look around and you say, show looks the same. You'll see in due time. You'll see. Things don't always move. It's just a snap, snap, snap pace around here, but they do move. And you will soon see a lot of the fruits of a lot of the work that's been happening behind the scenes and you guys have been chief among those doing that work. So thank you. All the traction we're getting thank you. Jampack show, as I said tonight, there is something I get in my inbox a few times a week that I just felt like tonight was the right time to address. And it's about Nick Saban. I'll circle back to it in a second. Also, the Arizona State Situation, I guess we could call it. It's an investigation. We can at least go that far. Got some new details. Now, they may not seem as juicy as the other details on the surface, but there are three letters that have entered the equation now, not FBI, but almost as bad if you're an athletic department, that have entered the equation that we need to discuss. You and I right here tonight. Also,

been waiting to do this segment. Most dangerous teams in college football, we have a specific

definition. So we're not going to name Alabama or Ohio State. But the most dangerous teams,

maybe the ones, for example, that aren't going to enter the season top six or top seven,

but they could either make the playoff or they could wreck multiple teams playoff dreams. There are several of them. I think we have, no, I think we have four or five. And so we're going to go pretty deep on some teams tonight that you may not have on your radar, but you need to have on your radar. Also, I asked if you wanted it to end the show last week and you said, yes, we do want it. So we're going to end the show tonight

with Pac-12 swing games. Also, and I wanted to do this at the front so everyone heard it,

if you tuned in to our Thursday night show, you heard me read a brief message from a listener

and a viewer named Tim. And he was like cancer, well, he was dealing with cancer. He has not recovered yet. And so I figured what was going to happen and it ended up happening. We had a flood of very similar emails and messages that came in of people who listened to the show, going through all different sorts of struggles, some of them just unimaginable. So I would just say this. We always foster a community environment here. That's what the show is always meant to be. It's what it always will be as long as I get to decide how we run things. I would suggest any of you who have those prayer lists out there, just put some unspokens on there. And when you pray for the unspokens, there are a lot of the folks that you watch this show right alongside, even though you don't know you're watching alongside those folks. A lot of people dealing with a lot of serious stuff. So just I wanted to say that thank you for the correspondence. I read every single one of. My answer as many as I can. Feel free to keep those coming. At Latekick Josh. Instagram, Twitter, encourage you to follow. You can

reach out that way too. We are dedicating this show to NC State Baseball tonight. If you know,

you know. Having said that, let's talk college football. What is the challenge remaining for

Nick Saban? A lot of people ask this, In the inbox, whether it be email or Twitter or

Instagram, I inevitably have anywhere from five to ten people per week say something that I think

it's time to address. And that something is some version of Nick Saban doesn't have anything left

to accomplish. He's won so many national championships. He's number one by a country mile. If I were

him, I'd retire. Well, I can guarantee you out of few assurances in life. One of them is probably

that you won't find yourself in a position to say, here I am, right where Nick Saban was. I get why

people say this. I know I joke a lot. I get why people say it. This is a very hard
