Welcome to the shutdown full cast. This is your championship edition. This is the, the,

everything's been decided, y'all. It's over, you know. You put in all that work on the field in the summer. You didn't.

And you, you know, you put in that time, both in the community and in the weight room.

That's that's that's that all that all came to fruition in the season. And if it all worked out, then

the low, you got a chance to play in a conference championship game, which, which is really actually pretty bad for your team.

Like, because, you know, you can actually make the playoff without having to play one of those.

It's an innovation and all of Bamavation, if you will, that they have employed not once, but at least twice, depending on how you count it.

Jason, you guys somewhere to start us talking about this foolishness.

So, um, let's go back. We're going to talk some big 10s. So I just want to run through a few things and see if we can find a connecting strand between these things.

The big 10, one of its big talking points is we play nine conference games. And if you make the conference title game, you play 10 conference games.

And that sounds cool and impressive until you remember that includes teams like Illinois, Maryland.

Now, when Ruggers was decent, do you recall the head coach at the time? No, no clue. Name familiarity or recent events tied to this name couldn't possibly jar the moniker from the vast recesses of my brain. No.

Who else? Well, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to reach back and tell you that the name was Greg Chiano. Okay. Goodness.

Might not be familiar with that name, but that's fine. Let's skip forward. Skip forward a little bit.

The recent NFL coaching tenure that not only was it a debacle on the field also included disease scandals off the field and players hating a coach openly and players diving at knees and just like out of all the botched NFL coaching tenures, it might have been the worst.

Do you know the name that's associated with this one? Oh, no, no, no, please fill me in. Well, that's again Greg Chiano. Same one in the same. Okay.

So here we are. We move forward to 2017. And especially invigorating coaching care cell is underway. That's one way to put it. Yes.

Led by Tennessee. Tennessee at the forefront of this exciting whirlwind of transactions.

The most spectacular moment of Tennessee's coaching search so far, the, the, the, when the wisdom of the crowd rose up and rejected a, a, a higher that, uh,
