| 0:19.6 | Look at that stack of papers in my hand. Jesse, I don't think we've ever had a show like this. |
| 0:23.9 | As jam-packed, overflowing as a show has ever been, we're high atop an explosive downtown Nashville, |
| 0:30.5 | Tennessee. Did I not tell you guys Tuesday night, we were about one or two results away from a cataclysmic |
| 0:36.7 | coaching carousel kicking into gear. Well, it's kicked |
| 0:39.8 | into gear. James Franklin has lost his job. He is out as Penn State head coach. Trent Dilfer also |
| 0:46.0 | out at UAB. I'll let you guess which one we're going to lead the show with. Although Trent |
| 0:49.8 | Dilfer, friend of the program, full week seven reaction, it's Sunday night. A ton happened yesterday. So we got to talk about all that on top of James Franklin being fired. The AP poll is out. And that's about as much as I can say for the AP poll. But you know what? They're starting to get their act together. I cannot say the same for SEC officiating. It is a disaster, the likes of which I don't know |

| 1:37.8 | Drugs. And I'm going to reveal our week eight destination. I'm going to reveal best bets. |
| 1:43.0 | The ramen noodle Express just |
| 1:44.3 | clicking along about 55% still waiting to hit that 10 and 0 week. And I got two games that I want |
| 1:50.0 | to move on tonight. Look, I'm going to talk very, very fast. Number one, because I'm hopped up on a lot |
