I think one of the more difficult things with going to nine games is you know we've tried to schedule two out of conference power five games to try to improve our strength of schedule over the next, I don't know,

seven, eight, nine, ten years.

And if we go to nine games, we'll have to unwind that.

The schedule is all the rage coming off Memorial Day weekend in Destin, Florida as the SEC spring meetings continue on. I'm Greg McElroy, Mark Kubiak, Jack Foster, Jay Garcia with us as well.

We appreciate you being with us here at Always College Football.

Today is going to be a really fun show.

Why?

Because I'm gonna get a little fired up.

Podcasts have been awesome. The numbers on YouTube are terrific. We're so so thrilled with the following that we've generated,

the support that we have from all of you guys that have supported us for the past year.

I do ask you, however, if you could continue to like and to rate the videos.

That would be huge, the podcast as well.

If you're not going to rate at five stars, don't bother.

But it would be really, really helpful.

If you could rate, whether it's on Spotify or Apple
