Hey everybody, I'm Michael St.

J.Jane, and St. Jude has been close to my heart for many years.

Their groundbreaking research is changing how the world treats childhood cancer,

and it's helped push the survival rate in the U.S. from 20% to more than 80%.

Please help St. Jude give children the greatest gift, a chance at a lifetime.

This holiday helps St. Jude find more cures for more children. Donate now at musicgives.org.

Let's open up the doors and step inside the McLaren and insane asylum.

And we will indeed continue the college football conversation. And we will talk

Notre Dame because we just don't see this anymore. The amount of teams that opted not to play

in a bowl game. And this is where this thing is headed because teams are like, we didn't make the

playoff. Who cares? I don't want to play in an exhibition. Kids are going to transfer. They're not

into it. They're going to opt out. The stars don't want to get hurt. And so Notre Dame, after getting left out of the college football playoffs, said that they will not be participating in a bowl. But it wasn't just Notre Dame. Iowa State and Kansas State also did that. Now, they're changing coaches and kind of pointed at that,

which has never stopped teams in the past. Yeah, I think their situation is a bit different than Notre Dame. Notre Dame's just pissed. They didn't make it. And so much so that the Big 12 find each of those schools $500,000. Oh, and Notre Dame doesn't have a conference to find them from missing out, huh? So they're like, fine whatever. there were teams because of the opt-outs and because not enough six-and-six teams qualified,

multiple teams at five and seven turned down bowl bids.

The Birmingham Bowl was grasping at straws trying to find somebody to come play in Birmingham.

Baylor, Florida State, Auburn, Central Florida, Kansas, Rutgers, and Temple all turned down bowl bids.

They're all five and seven.

Like, no, we're done.

We're not going.

Huh.

I wonder if that has anything that, no.

Do you think it has anything to do with how this portal is and players on display?
