0:10.5

non-South podcast. I am Connor Guira will great, great show, two greats, excellent show lined

0:18.3

up today. Drew Sanders, the former Arkansas star, he's going to join us in a little bit

0:22.5

and then we're talking about run-ins with the law in figuring out what we're going there

0:27.2

this episode. We're going to end with loud of the week, of course. But first, how to do

0:32.8

spring game exhibitions. Hugh Freeze, among others, spoken loud and clear, they want to have

0:40.3

spring games against other programs. Not a new concept, but it would need a new execution

0:47.8

at the collegiate level to be able to get this done. I am 100% for this idea, but my bias

0:57.3

compared to Auburn versus Auburn, where you're not allowed to breathe on the quarterback,

1:00.7

the scoring is weird and you're just left wanting more. Nobody, correct me if I'm wrong here.

1:31.3

I'm always fascinated like, what are you rooting for? Are you just rooting for offense?
