Reluctantly crouched at the starting line.

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank.

Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.

Their prowess is potent and secretly stern. As speed through the finish the flags go down the fans get up and they get out of town the arena is empty except for one man still driving and striving as fast as it can the sun has gone down and the moon has come up and long ago somebody left with the cup but he's driving and striving and

hugging the turns and thinking of someone for whom he still burns he's going the distance

he's going for speed she's all alone welcome the Giants nation i'm your host bobby skinner here

with my co-host, the football grump.

And it's the final mailbag of the 2025 season, baby. And I think we did the best picture calling for mailbag questions this week of Jim Dangel, you know, handing his piece to Steve from Blue's clues.

So final mailbag of the year, Grump, how are you feeling about it?

Man, it feels like this season was never going to end by a certain point.

Like, it feels like Brian Dable getting fired was a million years ago, doesn't it?

It was a million years ago, actually. Like, that's the exact date, time on it. It does feel like forever ago, you know, and I finally have, like, really been getting it, diving deep into, like, head coaching stuff this week as well, too, which really made me mad because I spent a lot of time on Marcus Freeman and college coaches. It's kind of hard to find out.

I listen to his interviews where he's super intentional.

It's honestly terrible to listen to.

And then I'm like ready to record a video about it.

And then he just like stays with Notre Dame.

Like son of a gun.

So we're going to be getting into the head coaching search.
