Always make sure you go and give our friends on the NFL side. Pick six. Listen.

You know, we got a lot of chance to break down the NFL draft and gentlemen, it feels really good to get back to the thing that really first brought us a good little sparkle of joy during all of this extended time at home.

And it was trying to dig into these teams in our spring cleaning series. We have already done the Pac-12 North, the Pac-12 South, two different doses of the big 12 and the ACC coastal in the ACC Atlantic.

I got to say guys, it feels feels good to get a little nerdy, right? Like just to break the books out, blow the dust off and sort of start looking ahead to what we hope is a good 2020 season.

Tom. Yeah, I mean, I feel like the more nerdy thing I do is the NFL draft stuff to me. This is more bread and butter.

Oh, really? Yeah. I feel like college football is my bread and butter and NFL draft analysis and research for me is my nerdy type of thing.

Although, I got a lot of nerdy pursuits. They're all nerdy, really.

I think people, I think there's probably a layer of people that like to get in the cover three podcast and it's this this vacuum, this this container of which the quarantine doesn't take place except for the first five minutes when I tell my horror stories of my house.

And then after that, people just pretend like football season is coming just like normal. Nothing to worry about. Just got a football season to prepare for.

I tell you what's going to beat the coronavirus football. That's right.

All right. Well, the momentum is like we're getting a little mo. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to jinx or ruin anything.

No, no, listen, not to ruin anything, but I think that we have seen. I know that here locally, the University of North Carolina system, which at the power five level, level includes.

I think Charlotte as well as North Carolina and NC state, as well as app state to they are planning right now to have students on campus this fall.

But a lot can change a lot can change, but now we've seen Oklahoma Oklahoma state Alabama Auburn. I mean, there's there's a lot of schools out here that are starting to prepare as those students will be on campus.

And as we've talked about before, students being on campus has to be the first step for the students who also play for the football team to be there doing the four to six weeks so they would need to get ready for the season.

I'm Barton with you. I see Mo, but we can be cautious about it. Yeah. Yeah. I guess we shouldn't be the person in the middle of the perfect game that starts talking about the perfect game.
