0:02.7

0:08.8

great food, refreshing drinks, and a warm welcome are never far away.

0:13.2

0:47.0

Ari's a national college football reporter. And Ari, big week for you, heading back to the Midwest to cover college football, going to Ohio State, Notre Dame. I know you've been looking forward to this for a long time. My entire career, I've always wanted to be an Ohio State beat writer. So it feels good to be one for the weekend. But you were one and you gave it up. Yeah. For a woman. Yeah. The woman. Yeah.

1:11.1

The woman.

1:09.7

Okay. I'm pretty good with where I'm at professionally now. Yeah. Okay. It worked out. But I'm excited to go to South Bend because Notre Dame is a bucketless stadium that I've ever been to. So that's going to be a lot of fun. And I think it's one of the best games of the year. and we're going to find out a lot about both teams and all those good things.

1:45.5

So I'm looking forward to it and seeing some old friends in the process. And joined by Grace Rainer, as usual, Grace covers recruiting for us and a little bit of Clemson football. And Grace, too, is returning to her roots, going to Clemson for which we thought might have been as good of a game as Notre Dame Ohio State before the season. Maybe not so much now, but Grace, this is, this goes

1:49.9

into the intriguing game. For sure. Yeah, I'm excited for Clemson, Florida State like you are. I'm

1:55.4

going to see some old friends, but I think this game just got actually a little bit more interesting

1:59.1

considering Florida State Boston College score.

2:01.7

Like I just assumed Florida State would go into Death Valley and blow them out.

2:04.8

And so I think there's at least a little bit more intrigue in this game now.

2:08.9

Possibly.

2:09.5

And also joined by Manny Navarro covers Miami and a recruiting writer.

2:13.0

And if you can see the pain and the anguish in Manny's face. It was a difficult night last night. He took his

2:19.3

daughter's soccer team all the way to the postseason with a two and four record. Okay,

2:23.4

what kind of league gets in the playoffs of two and four? Lost a one goal, heartbreaker. I'm sure it's

2:28.1

probably the 12th team payout playoff, right? Mani, I don't know if this was for public consumption,

2:33.7
