Panic Company. Hey, everybody listening. Hope you're having a fantastic start to the weekend. Regardless

0:38.9

if it's Apple Podcasts or Spotify, we're just happy you're here. We love your ears. They look

0:43.8

great. Please leave us a five-star review and keep sharing the show. Texas and USC have announced

0:49.0

they won't play a spring game and good for them because from a coach's point of view, spring games are about as useful as a

0:55.2

blind darts player and they're dangerous. But there's a way to fix it. You don't have to abolish it.

1:01.5

See, spring games should be played against smaller in-state opponents. Like for example,

1:06.3

Alabama should play UAB and Auburn should play Troy. It's the best of both worlds, because like the

1:12.4

Senior Bowl, the most useful part of the practices of spring practice, it's not the games,

get an even better atmosphere and the teams could actually get something out of it. So we don't need

1:55.7

to abolish spring games. Just play an actual opponent. It's that simple. See, David, there, I fixed it. I fixed it. What, what, you have a problem with that? Yes. You actually have a problem with that. I thought you just had a problem with not playing a spring game. You're so hard to please. I didn't, I didn't realize this was my calling in 2025. I'm on a mission to save spring games. Here's the part

2:20.4

that I don't understand. The spring games are already like a practice. All of them are different.
