This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome at Lake Kick is live. It is Thursday night, October 28th, the Year of Our Lord,

2021. A little bit delayed tonight. And look at our little friend in front of me. If you're listening on podcast, this doesn't really matter. But if you're watching this little silver mic, it's normally, there I even say a prop mic. Well, as you can tell, we're actually using this bad boy tonight. So a few audio issues, as is usually the case, when you move into a new

house like we just did. But we are jam-packed. As always, we are high atop downtown Nashville,

Tennessee. Hey, what if every opinion doesn't matter? Let me just start to show with that tonight.

What if every opinion doesn't matter? And second part to that, what if there really are a lot of

moving parts? We will discuss and do time tonight.

We've got several more week nine picks, several games that we didn't get to the other night.

We will get to tonight.

Also, this deal with James Franklin at Penn State, what some people interpreted as coded language coming from the head coach up there in State College.

I did not take it that way at all.

I thought the guy was as brutally honest as any coach that we've heard all year. It's just sometimes

you can only say what you can say. So I want to talk about that also just some pure absurdity on the

whole playoff expansion front. And it's not that we didn't tell you it was coming. We just don't

enjoy the I Told You So mantra around here.

So we're not going to do a whole bunch of I told you so, maybe just a little bit if I told you so.

But there is some hot garbage floating out there today about the expansion from the expansionists,

which we warned you about, kind of like the clown down in the sewer. It looks fun. Everyone loves

clowns until you get down there and then you realize I got sharp teeth and they mean ill will towards you.

At late kick Josh.

Obviously, if you were on there about two hours ago on Twitter, at late kick Josh, Instagram the same,

you caught two of our ramen noodle express picks for tonight's games.
