This is an IHeart podcast.

On this date, one month ago, I said, we'll let change happen around here if it's good change

and a lot of good change has happened and we're back now you may think wow cool new studio and

it is a beautiful new studio but that's not what i want to lead tonight with you may think wow

there've been a lot of announcements all over the place and you're right there have been a lot of new partnerships agreed upon but i don't want to lead tonight with. You may think, wow, there have been a lot of announcements all over the place. And you're right, there have been a lot of new partnerships agreed upon, but I don't want to lead with that. What I want to lead with is we're back the same way we've always been. We're high atop of a sparkling downtown Nashville, Tennessee on this Sunday night, August 10th, the year of our Lord 2005. And the reason I don't want to leave with all that stuff is because we got a lot,

and I'm in a lot of college football to talk about, because I haven't been around here in quite a while. And you know good and well, we don't actually believe in an off season around here. So that month-long hiatus must have meant something really important was going on. And it was, and as you can hear by this very, very thick packet of papers in front of me,

I got a lot to talk to you about. I'll tell you about what's happening with the show, but I'm not going to lead the show with it in the interest of the fact that camp intel is back. Whispers, Intel, scoop, dirt, whatever you want to talk about. I've got it from coast to coast. I have got a lot of bold predictions for you tonight. I've got at least by my estimation several unknowns

to talk to you about on the show tonight. I have got a lot of bold predictions for you tonight. I've got, at least by my estimation,

several unknowns to talk to you about on the show tonight. I am going to absolutely address what

Mr. John Gruden said down in Athens, Georgia a couple of days ago, because I think John Gruden

would kill it in college football. And apparently I'm in the minority to maybe

even like super, super, super minority on that. But I don't care because I think I'm right. So if I

have to be the meme where I'm standing there yelling at the Army about what I think I'm right about,

I think I'm right about John Gruden. So we had a lot to get to. We're back three nights a week

until what February. Jesse and Bradley will be here.

No more hiatus. They're watching us in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where I visited for a good

solid 24 hour period last week. Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Norton, Virginia, Jefferson City, Tennessee.

My heart just overflows with joy. We could go a million different

directions right now. Let's just talk about unknowns. Let's lead the show with this. Last time I spoke to

you on a live show, what was it? It was early to mid-July. And so a lot's changed then, but not much

has changed since then. We've had a few injuries.

We've had still some lingering NCAA eligibility issues, and those are ongoing, even as we speak.
