Summary
Spring practice whispers and intel are bubbling all across College Football. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 719 Josh Pate looks at the biggest questions for teams like Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, and Missouri. We’re also monitoring rumblings from the SEC and Big Ten about the future of everything from rules to media rights. Could we see a CFB superleague? Might the big two look to break away entirely? Could Congress get involved? We continue the truthteller series tonight with a look back at the Johnny Manziel era at Texas A&M along with a dive into the best WR rooms in College Football this year. How do programs like Ohio State and Miami stack up to Florida and Oregon? The Mood Tracker is also back with a pulse on Lane Kiffin’s first season at LSU.

| 1:27.0 | moments. We've also got a loaded jam-packed show full of spring whispers and intel. Now, I know |
