College Football Mafia Presents…
Moen After Dark: Clemson and Florida State In the Same Boat on Conference Realignment.
With the chalk that #clemson and #floridastatefootball are both plotting their course to the #bigten in #conferencerealignment we will be going in depth on exactly who is covering the freight. Will the #acc survive or will it take on enough water to cause a mass exodus? Will there be any castaways? Can we fit in more nautical puns?
a [Music] [Music] [Music] good evening everybody and welcome to another exciting episode of mowing after dark here on the college football Mafia I’m joined by my co-host Rock and rant how are you doing tonight Rocking R I’m doing excellent how about yourself not bad not bad got some sun this weekend got some fresh air had my allergies act up uh so there’s all that we’re going to talk some college football tonight college football conference realignment uh all that good stuff and most important of all we’re going to be taking your comments and questions um so please feel free to drop those in the chat right now uh going to start off we I wanted to talk about this on Friday and we got kind of sidetracked as we of do on Friday nights and I tend to drink a little too much um yeah yeah I I wanted to talk about uh who’s covering the freight for Florida State and Clemson we know that fox paid for Oregon and Washington uh and we know that CBS and NBC are going to benefit more from that payment than necessarily Fox would uh what do you think for Florida State Clemson are they coming in at full shares covering the freight yeah I mean it’s a great question right and I also think that uh pass is not necessarily prologue on on any of these things though the one thing I would might best guess and these are all purely guesses for all of us right um some degree of informed is that I just don’t see two teams coming in together where one is honestly publicly taking it half to somebody else I think it was one thing for USC and UCLA to come in 100% and then a year later two other schools Washington and and um Oregon to come out at 50% I just don’t see the Big 10 or SEC and a random possibility doing what the ACC did with Cal Stanford and SMU um I I see Clemson and Florida State coming in together at whatever price that is and I tend to think they’ll figure out a way to make it 100% share because of the value of Flor State at a minimum yeah I I I tend to be with you I think it’s going to be they’re you’re not going to bring in one as a junior partner um you can’t do that it just looks bad but the problem is you’ve got Oregon and Washington out here who who came in at half raate and now you’re bringing in two new members at four rate yeah and you know I guess we I’m making an assumption that the powers that be were wise enough to be really clear that to those schools what would happen but if they didn’t then certainly there’s a way different political situation uh you know the one dynamic that could be a play that alters that in a tough political situation is if in fact you know it’s not a one conference bidding it’s an SEC versus Big 10 that changes fundamentally then a Washington and Oregon having two conferences potentially really three that wanted them but a clear separation between a big 10 invite and a theoretical Big 12 end or ACC invite right right I mean at that case if you’re competing with the SEC you have to bring them in as full members there’s no no exceptions that can be made there yeah I think people tend to get um and for good reason get caught up in the terms of a contract in the length of contracts but willing parties of a contract can decide to renegotiate or add or mend things you know there’s do I think that there’s the possibility that if the S if the Big 10 took off Clemson and Florida State that they at 100% they would have to go do something for for Oregon and Washington for sure and and maybe it’s possible that a year later into this without a gun to everyone head kind of thing that they figure out a path for Oregon and Washington to make them not feel like the only two that were at a different place like contracts can be amended as well as ruled inv valid like we’re looking to see what might happen in the ACC with grant of rights so U there’s a lot of different variables that could come into it right and you think you’d have to think CBS NBC Fox if everybody pitched in to get those guys full membership you could also pitch to a New Media partner you would have more more inventory you could pitch to probably get everybody up to 100% Oregon Washington Florida State and Clemson correct and you could also uh you know you’re pling time slots too if you bring Florida State and Clemson in you have potentially more valuable matchups right so um everyone slack you have more valuable things to disperse across all the confirmed time slots right now across the networks and that means that maybe the the Lea scheme winds up being more on the streaming partner at the end of the day or you know something else happens or like you said you can open up another time slot uh with the consent of all of the people to the contract right let’s say hello to some people here uh while Kee Morales was first in here today good to see you Walken he reminds you to smash that like button yes please do it’s free cost you nothing helps us out tremendously like and and comment drop us it helps us way more than you know guys yeah drop a comment we’ll answer it you might not like the answer but we’ll answer it Ryan the evil Badger here Timothy Green if you’re not first you’re last let’s get ready for another great show folks thank you Timothy Green Buckshot kid oh hey at college football Mafia good to see you Buckshot kid uh Timothy Green a tribute shout out to ACDC have a drink on you there you go that’s very appropriate yeah I’ll tell you I’ll tell you guys ACDC stories one day on one of these shows when we have free time uh well I mean if you’ve got a good one right now you might as well drop it well in in a past life I worked for their record company and um I ran across the back of the stage and almost got blown up not knowing that For Those About to Rock was about to be the next song and the the big old cannons were getting ready and the red light went off as I was trying to use it as a shortcut across the back of the wi bar Arina true story uh now you know why he can’t hear anymore guys Antoine codes is in the house good to see you Antoine kouo Moen congrats on your trivia Victory last night Greg had a fun show it was fun um but it ended in a little controversy because everybody thought they were getting their answers in first uh and that happened to me twice I saw two of mine appear first in chat but yeah I’m gonna have Mason Rudolph nightmares forever just because I had typos trying to type so fast you know I just wanted two I just didn’t want to be I wanted to be like second third or fourth or something at least so I’m not gonna let Greg forgive that at the end Greg was asking the score and I just I started guessing numbers I was like I it was 60 something 70 something uh but thank you kesu uh Don and Kansas good to see you Don mosito here from the beginning yay Ruckers guy uh don’t sleep on Ruckers we’re going to be talking a little bit football here guys so they it can’t all be realignment um Coy hi all good to see you Coy Bob swanger Jared Jones yo yo yo Congo is in the house shansky uh hello everyone hopefully some news tonight we didn’t already know a month ago well we knew that they were leaving we just don’t know where we we Brett McMurphy came out with that story less than a month ago uh clay Johansson you get to say this one rocking rant oh yeah go Blue a lit’s head’s in the house good to see l i Ted uh let’s see who else is here sky is in the house happy Sunday you’re right it’s Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday uh and I think we will get one more in here Mark Bowman I like your hat mowing today I saw a bumper sticker that said be yourself everyone is already taken yeah you know me I’m always myself uh we got squirrel I think that’s squirrel uh they going to vote no expansion probably the Cali schools too I’m not sure who you’re talking about you’re talking about the big 10 I think he means or the Big 10 though y That’s possible but I tend to doubt it uh Ruckers and Mar Grayson Gan with a sagot pitcher ruers and Maryland received a half share for a long time too Nebraska received it for five years yikes all right we’ll pause it right there and then we’ll get to some more questions here in a minute uh so let’s talk a little football before we get into realignment talk uh what did you uh think about Miami’s off season their signings what what are you’re looking forward to most this year I’m well I’m looking forward to Improvement in clock management skills first and foremost but above all all memes aside forever you know I I probably go into this season the most optimistic for somebody who’s fairly you know glass half full some days glass half empty other days because 20 years of abuse as a fan sketch you there um I I go in pretty optimistic they made some key ad just you know additions on the field um most of the games that Miami lost last year were very low score differences and where one or two key players could have made a big difference so you know I’m not prepared to say that Miami is going to the college football playoffs but also not surprised like I if I was taking the over under of nine and a half I am probably at the 10 level at this particular week um but they got to prove it on the field ultimately but I’m pretty optimistic don’t think for the first time it’s just hype and no Miami fans actually don’t generally say except for a few loud Ms that we’re back none of us actually think we’re back until somebody actually does it on the field despite popular lore uh I was gonna ask you is this year they win the the conference Championship well if they’re GNA do it they might as well do it this year before it is completely meaningless right I mean if you know the operating assumption that Clemson and Florida State have a very good chance of not them and others of leaving the conference for 2025 and after sure it would be nice to win it this year but you know we shall see and who do you have as your top three in the ACC this year oh it’s FL it’s a Florida State Miami Clemson thing for me you know I know North Carolina state has done a pretty impressive job this year and I think that they could be I don’t even know if it’s a surprise but you know potentially move into that top spot um Louisville like I’m not really sure what to think about them they had a good year last year uh and I think Virginia Tech you know this might be the year that they kind of take a step back towards the program that uh a lot of us were familiar with and it’s not just about the entrance it’s like a great history of them being a pretty impressive program so I’m hopeful that there it was a you know it’s a huge rivalry in the past for Miami and it’s one of those ones where was you know I respected that program yeah I like Florida State Miami Clemson as well although I’m not super high on Clemson with their transfer portal issues uh until D that out well their issue is they don’t use it yeah somebody’s drastically right or wrong on that one right yeah yeah you can’t be yeah not not great but that that’s what I see for the ACC this season I mean North Carolina State I think probably will be in that 8 to n Win range North Carolina’s probably going to be in the six to seven win range um Virginia Tech I’m just not sld on Virginia Tech yeah I I can understand that sentiment you know their schedule isn’t the easy you know SMU for all of the the jokes about it they they could overperform not because I think that they’re a top-notch ACC team in year one they just do happen to have one of the the Lesser schedules just by luck of the draw um so they might do better and I I think Rett lassley is a really good coach I don’t know how long if he’s going to be there for years or gets coached in a few years but I think he’s a good coach you know whatever they do this year aside all right let’s take care of a little business here guys if you want to help support the channel you can become a member we’ve got different membership levels in order

and other videos behind our members only section and it gets you a nice little uh loyalty badge next to your name to show how long you’ve been a member of the uh program yeah there are definitely some amazing videos in there from the mind of Moen to while you trying to school people with facts that are just at least the basis of decisions if not you know not everything is purely about the data but it’s nice to have data backed argument where you then put your gut and feelings and opinion on top of it uh Mr Ed wayer says hello gentlemen have FSU Clemson gain value perspective P2 conferences because of all the media attention they have received FSU with the playoff snub and efforts to ex at the ACC I think they regardless of the media attention that they had high value yeah I mean it’s it’s even if you go back to the several years where Florida State wasn’t winning and they were having some problems in the program before they landed on to their current coach and turned the program on if you just went back and looked where their recruiting classes were looked where the brand rankings were you know facts are facts and they were always a top tier program for any sort of realignment you know in a perfect world for all these conversations you’d have you know schools that aren’t really top-notch football programs not in those conferences but sometimes birth where you born is a great thing for certain schools so relative to everybody else you have to make those decisions based off of where those brands are and they fit they just do Sean ski I know one thing is for sure realignment isn’t happening this year Well we don’t know uh well realignment is happening this year because in July and in August July the ACC gets a new member and August the Big 10 the pack or the Big 10 the Big 12 and the ACC get members so yeah and realignment you know the the and I know there’s fatigue in some quarters you know I like to say it’s one of the things we love to talk about the most and can’t wait to stop talking about at the same time um realignment has a big impact on what’s going to happen in in football this year right like who different conferences moving some conferences are now mov moving away from divisions right to realignment is impacting who’s going to be determined going to playoff spots going into even conference championships because you’re G to have wild tiebreaker scenarios coming out of the mix year because of how many schools are going into certain leagues like the big 10 is the one I’m most thinking of but not necessarily the only one that’s going to have that happen uh and Sh ski we are talking football we talked ACC but by all means anybody in chat give us your top three ACC teams this year uh let’s see what everybody has them ranked at yeah give us your top three and give us the if somebody was going to surprise everyone who would that be and why yeah it was the Dark Horse uh we got a super chat here from Ryan Willie because I can scroll down to pull it up there we go uh Wisconsin will surprise a lot of people I hope Greg is lean learning on Wisconsin I’m confident that I won’t need to give 20 memberships uh well if you if you just bet on the Minnesota game I’m sure you won’t have to I that’s an easy win yeah I think as much as uh you know I know Greg was celebrating getting a three star recruit today which is great I told him if uh if he had given me my point in the trivia question he would have gotten a fourar today just the way it works it’s karma yeah would have they committed from Miami so thank you for your Super Chat Ryan I’ll tell you what if uh if Wisconsin doesn’t beat Minnesota I’ll give away 10 memberships on this channel so I I think that’s a pretty I think that one’s easy but that’s just me uh W Morales moan I had to leave before you answered my question the other day when wife got discharged from the hospital you might have to ask me the question again brother I don’t uh my memory is not the best sometimes I have a little too much to drink yeah Friday recall let’s go first thing you said that’s right get a memory box so I remember what’s going on uh hooded nin hooded ninja haven’t seen you around here before good to see you Hood ninja uh Oregon Florida State and Ohio State Clemson should be big games uh I think we talked about this I think Florida State and Ben state would be a rivalry game I think Ohio State Clemson would be a yearly rivalry game yeah just think it u i mean there’s a lot of ones you could figure out coming and also depends upon how frequently the an even larger Big 10 conference in this Theory uh how are they going to lock in permanent rivals or semi-permanent rotations when everyone’s trying to get all the teams to dance around the league uh Grayson Gan rutr and Maryland received a half share for nine years and now are paying off a ton uh of loans that the conference extended them well they had a Buy in they had to buy into their share of the Big 10 Network but yes they had loans they they were also a loan and Washington and Oregon are receiving loans as well so at some point those will have to be paid back but they’ve got they got Nike money and Microsoft money so I don’t think that they’re too worried about it yeah and there you know it’s no disrespect to recers or Marland but neither of them are Florida State we got a gifted membership here from KY thank you so much Coy and that membership went to playay Johansson congratulations playay welcome to the college football Mafia Family there we go uh make sure you thank I see you already thanked him in the chat for that that is much appreciated Coy we appreciate it clay appreciate you and everybody’s appreciated Minnesota seminal Scott I believe the ACC is slow balling the lawsuit to try and keep FSU as long as possible do you that the ACC will be more willing to settle if FSU announces their well I mean FSU is also you know they’re both slow balling lawsuits depending upon what state it is and what where they’re hoping gets precedent right so they both taking it from one Court to an appeals court in both States um you know I don’t know if that’s the thing that makes them more willing to settle I I tend to think it’s more about whether uh ESPN puts the pressure on them around any possibility of the grant of rights media the deal tied to the grant of rights coming out either in South Carolina because of what’s going on with Clemson or the Attorney General the Attorney General in Florida is separate by ad Jason suit in Florida uh W Morales here’s this question if Notre Dame loses one of the four G5 games and loses two P4 games they go nine and three do you think they make cfp as an independent it’s going to be dependent I think more on who the 2p games are yeah just my opin yeah you have to wait and see like who are those two P4 games and were they on the road were they close how where those schools wind up finishing in the final ranking so it’s you know it’s really going to be weighted by what the committee is going to see in terms of quote unquote good losses I you know you also don’t know how much all the other teams are going to beat each other up when you start to get down to 10 or 11 12 in their rankings you can sometimes get schools with three losses who had quote unquote good losses yeah and I hope your wife’s feeling better Walken uh hooded ninja any partial membership period is just buying for Big 10 shares uh Les Austin JR says the bad words go ahead and say it I mean I think I can only do that once a meeting as you’re as your uh co-pilot there because I still don’t like Michigan either okay I’ll do it once just for the sake of the conversation but twice you know there’s got to be something attached to it of value uh movie time blues is there anything to indicate that the Big 10 has contingencies for going past 20 well we Kevin Warren if you listen to Kevin Warren uh and Brett McMurphy the the news that was leaked to him by a big 10 source so we contingencies to go past 20 I I think that you can almost reverse that question we’re all assuming that they’re going to 20 only for now I I can’t find anything and maybe Mo because you’ve been paying attention to it more as your home conference for years you know it’s just to me it’s like speculation feeding on top of speculation based off of people assuming that the current media rights deal that only from a big 10 perspective has a few years left to go granted it’s a you know a pretty extensive deal we I don’t know that we all do or don’t know that they’re not willing to go to 22 or 24 that’s not part of the master plan I think we’re all making the Assumption based off of um reading tea leaves that could be pretty factual and some degree of fan filling in the blanks that it’s a 20 spot maybe it’s two two by two over a couple of years right everybody thought it was only going to be two two years ago because they could have got in Oregon and Washington at the same time or Stanford and then a year later they changed their mind so does anyone have knowledge that it’s only two because of some massive report or is it just our speculation really right and there were discussions last year about going to 20 with Stanford and Cal and Oregon and Washington so yeah I mean I tend to think you either go to 20 or 24 I mean you can make any scheduling work um but there it seems like it’d be easier even if you’re doing pods if you’re not doing divisions but it seems 24 just might work better ultimately with four time four by six but who knows uh Sergeant pickle says good afternoon all going to listen along while doing yard work and knocking back a couple of cold Georgia Techs um I’ve just got Cherry Coke Zero tonight guys so I got to get up early in the morning you have to forgive me uh Klay Johansson I heard ruers has the top three recruiting class in the Big 10 right now is that true probably uh I know they’re up there they’re definitely up there Greg shano is a great recruiter he is a good recruiter and they have they’re putting some resources in you know if you told me last next year at this time that Ruckers is having a top three recruiting class with the potential of there being a June signing day I would be you know super impressed because it’s likely a lot of that class sticks you know a lot of um you know not that many people flip but enough people flip from early Comm ments so let’s see where we are for all the schools regardless of class ranking you get to November especially this year for some reason I just think it’s going to be you know just keeps on ramping up with nil and laws changing and all the sort of sand moving under everyone’s feet uh me verus me versus Echo chamber what’s up guys good to see you me versus Echo chamber uh good to see me uh Shi let’s talk all football realignment won’t change his season’s matchups let’s do it uh put your if you haven’t done so yet shy put your top three top four for the uh ACC in the chat uh and then you know let me know uh as a no fan I think Miami is going to win the conference this year oh might have jinxed you you know I can res e you know even if it’s a jinx I always appreciate fans um we all have our zones where we love our schools but I also enjoy conversations with fans who know their schools really well and also pay attention to what’s going on and how like our conversation about it right you know I think Florida State I you know they deserve to be in the playoff as an example right like my Kane side might be want to laugh at it but I think they were screwed out and then he says Clemson will finish eight and four this year might be I guess a good a good question is if Clemson starts becoming an eight and four program without doing the transfer portal what I don’t really know that they would force dbo out but what does davo do if his theory doesn’t hold true in the as everything’s changing around him does he say does he change finally because he doesn’t have to worry about breaking his word to the players because they understands does he say whatever I know he’s in the chat but any other Clemson fans I’m just curious what the the scuttlebutt is for davo going the strategy he does right now if he has an eight and4 season again or not again but it has an eight and four type season this year like what happens what does he want to do does he get to control his own destiny like what’s the take there uh Edward Wilson haven’t seen you around here before welcome Big 10 dream expansion Florida State Clem son Miami Irish North Carolina duke or Stanford I think he’s saying duke or Stanford is the last 24 it’s a good that’s a good good list for sure yeah good lineup I just I don’t think North Carolina’s going to be available yeah I mean I might substitute somebody else in into that last grouping because I still probably have like more of a a football focus on it but um there would be nothing wrong with that there would be nothing wrong with that conference from August through March right in terms of those Sports um selfishly I’d love another southern school or two that is pretty good in baseball to join in to make sure that that that sport can be well represented in the Big 10 where when you’re bringing in the fire States and Clemsons and Miami with the world but uh sec would have a lot less to talk about Football Conference wise with that kind of lineup ultimately Mary Crocker Ro says Florida state has better coaching I assume she’s more than Miami I mean yeah I’m not as big of a Mike norell fan as I’m sure Florida State fans are but I’m until Marin knows how to take a time out I’m not GNA try to put him up in the game manager Hall of Fame in any way shape or form I have more faith in the coordinators on that front and maybe somebody getting in his ear and letting them do their thing um I’m a big fan of the idea of letting uh analysts or others be on the field and having literally good time H out and a take a knee coach uh DP Florida State and Clemson both have QBs that have so far looked average if Miami gets Elite QB play they could be there in the end what do you think about the QB this year coming he went to the draft and then came out of the draft to go back to college well it’s it’s June so I love him now in early January not so much you know there’s a lot of we’ve had a few high-profile transfers come to Miami that um definitely had a bunch of drama around them and I don’t know that there weren’t other schools that had that but I’m just more obviously aware of it but all the reports are really good from inside the camp you know everybody you know as I say at other times this is lying season right whatever School the colors are we all have that shade of glasses on but you know he has a better offensive line that’s not really a question he’s got better wide receivers that’s not really a question he’s got an elite running back um so I’m I’m optimistic that the one drawback he had that he’s conscious of and the Miami’s worked on with his uh propensity to Fumble is at least diminished enough to allow him to uh succeed uh me versus EO chamber says Big 10 dream expansion is Florida State and Texas A&M if they go past 20 add Georgia Tech in Miami I mean it would be amazing if Texas A&M made that that move I I’m just I’m not on that uh that fan wishcasting dream scenario of A&M leaving the SEC I just don’t see a team leaving the SEC as great as the Big 10 is and even for more money I just I don’t see it uh Shan ski with all the disrespect from Florida State they better win the ACC or it’s going to be a huge disappointment for them remember that Florida state has been carrying all the teams in the ACC you know well it’s the ACC right so it just means less so now go ahead and move over so people can see the it just means less less money less good commission less teams less TV spots because you know the SEC is going to dominate the TV spots yeah let’s cfp money yeah uh Ali T Ali are finally building up a Bert style offense but that defense is still a work in progress the transfer portal has been helping fill some major holes lately yeah I mean I think they’re all trying to be the next wither spoon I know they got a a defensive back transfer in there uh that was actually somewhat people were somewhat high on Soh and then coy coy wants to know who’s Bert yeah Brett belma his real name is Bert that’s that’s a big 10 thing he’s been Bert since Wisconsin theine that’s one like one of those schools where I remember when I was young being aware of them before I was aware of college football to any degree so it’s you know without being a big 10 deep diver I’ve always wondered you know why is that school not ever taken the step to be more Elite because it seems like there would be a possibility again I’m I’m totally playing blind on that one just history-wise and current status wise but they they’ve taken the step before it just hasn’t usually panned out they they hired Ron zuk offer getting fired from Florida uh and he he had a good season with juice there even though that game against Ohio state was they they call it a win but that guy fumbled into the End Zone it was a Touchback if we had instant review back then Ohio state would have won that game shony they have lots of respect just because of the whining Florida state has done nothing but disrespect disrespect their peers sad I’ll have no comment because any comment I have will be considered massively biased uh I’m not going to answer it either because you know let that play out on the field uh P has his top three as Florida State Miami Clemson in that order Louisville as the Dark Horse clay Johanson has Louisville Florida State Clemson so he’s got Louisville right there at the top the only thing with Louisville that just concerns me is like what’s going on in that program again this is like a little bit of information can be dangerous but there was just a a lot of rumors about their nil program having some challenges and problems recently maybe that all got sorted out and players came in but um you know I think their coach is excellent I know they had some kids transfer out too that there was some personality conflict so uh Edward Wilson Florida State Clemson and Miami seems to be a the top three teams in the ACC will be Miami Florida State North Carolina State the surprise team is Georgia Tech wow uh Greg’s Harry says yo guys crazy Mason Randol Greg Mason Randol uh Mr Ed wayer has it is Clemson North Carolina state Florida State Miami will kneel into fourth place you fired again Ed uh realignment isn’t talking football moan is talking about the awesome matchups we are going to see this year okay well that does include realignment though I’m sorry they are joining the conferences this year that’s realignment technically well what’s your favorite you know to like sort of blend those to like what is the most anticip Ohio State it’s Oregon Ohio State or you know USC Michigan I mean that’s up there too I mean depending upon how the you know the preseason polls come out for whatever grain of salt they are you you’re basically adding a potential top five Team Matchup that wouldn’t have existed without realignment right and also two very different styles of football historically I know Oregon might be beefing up more for there but they have a a coach with very good Eastern Southern Roots in that program who seems like he’s going to be there till the last day of his coaching career if all things pan out so I think that’s one of the pluses you know there’s some stuff that gets taken away but that is a matchup that any college football fan I would imagine is going to be Hing to live up to the height that could come from it yeah those two teams could be top five by the time they meet they both that could be a top five matchup um I think in the preseason polls I’ve seen now it’s I think they’ve got Oregon as number six so we’ll have to see uh how that goes but uh yeah there’s going to be some great matchups this year in the Big 12 hey Utah playing anybody in the Big 12 is a huge matchup this year Utah’s clearly going in as a villain plus all of these calls are great practice for when ea2 comes out and you have to deal with realign and nil like this is like just hype for that too uh does the ICC wants success this year for FSU and Clemson well yes they get paid more money so yeah yeah that would that would be my answer um Unless somehow you know yes they want more success unless somehow two other teams or three other teams somehow took their places in enough position to get into the college football playoff right it’s not really just about one it’s whether one or two other teams um get into the place to bring more money into the conference I think even then though you want those schools to be good because you want your schedule and your matchups and your ratings all year long to be as good as possible with your current TV deal regardless of everything playing out uh because that feeds into other things on the ACC Network ad rates and just you know you’ve been beaten up uh rightfully hence my background I mean I’m definitely not on the ACC fan club thing no matter what realignment ultimately plays out to be uh but you know they could use a good look you know in a way like Pack 12 had a great ending to the you know it was kind of depressing because they had one of the best years in years when it was past the point of salvageable but I think regardless of that they would just want their schools to do well for just the overall picture uh Ryan Willie with another Super Chat num skull news swears that there won’t be any realignment after Florida State and Clemson could be right uh Mo please don’t give me PTSD with mentioning Bert he could he could totally be right um but four weeks ago and I watch him because he just makes me laugh like I just I love him he just caught him right to the chase he’s one of my favorite people to watch online then but a few weeks ago it was a different take right there’s you know there’s new information some of it could be 100 % true they could be changing like it’s just the awesome speculation game which makes us both uh interesting to talk to and obviously for a couple of the people in our chat frustrating to have to keep talking about yeah and I won’t say Bert’s name three times so you don’t have to worry about it but don’t go in the bathro don’t go in the bathroom and turn off the light and say it in the mirror he’ll he is that bring you home like the know Wizard of Oz kind of thing he’ll appear and uh e all the food out of your refrigerator uh Mr patc trivia World Champ yeah but there weren’t a lot of people playing either so uh the only reason Notre Dame will make the cfp is their schedule well because they’re Notre Dame that’s you know that’ll cause it they start the season like almost a half step ahead of everybody right just from reputation and favorability you know they and they also get the Ben you know some people think it’s a negative uh in this round um but they don’t have to play Conference Championship game so yes they don’t get a buy necessarily but they also don’t have to take that extra game beating before they start to play Florida State and Georgia attacker playing their opener in Ireland and Dublin let’s talk about that matchup it’s going to be awesome let’s talk about the games Okay Sean we’re talking about some games brother but this is a chat driven show so you got to lead us into these things yes Florida state will kick the crap out of Georgia Tech and Dublin so other than the interesting part of um having a game out of country like I get Notre Dame you know for obvious reasons playing there I’m just here is from a Florida State or any Georgia Tech fans like you know who know more of the background about the origins of those schools going to that game because I’m not really I’m not sure that I’m aware of what the history of that one is versus some of the Notre Dame traveling stuff it has something to do because Notre D or not Notre Dame Northwestern and Nebraska played there two years ago um so I think it’s an ongoing thing where they’re gonna have one NCAA game from you know uh they’re just doing something more regularly like the NFL did that guess then it’s not specific to this I just think about the Shamrock series originally I like the first time I recall that so I wasn’t sure with the off that just became an offshoot well I I think you know the NFL does games in London so they’re going to do games in Dublin uh Coy says the college football Mafia the clay comment is for basketball they don’t have a top football class the recers is top three in basketball not football but I know they have a good uh I thought they had a good transfer class maybe that’s what I’m thinking about yeah I I don’t get to say anything about ruers right now uh ruers is going to surprise some people you want to talk football let’s talk ruers ruers is going to surprise some people this year uh they’re this year’s Maryland Morris Simmons a member of Florida State Clemson Notre Dam and A&M to the big pin that’s it no other value left I’m utterly shocked that Morris would say that I mean I just completely surprised that he would leave Miami out there’s there’s no past history of that from him uh clay Johansson is there any medor right for a big 10 after dark on Saturday if not can Big 10 get one I see a couple West teams Adge just to get this maybe uh well they already have one big 10 after dark game it’s Rutgers at USC we’ll kick off 11 pm uh Eastern Time 8:00 pm West Coast time so hey let us know in the chat if you would actually tune in to a a late night with some of our West Coast peeps uh Big 10 you know CFB Mafia after dark corollary show those nights knowing I’m out here and pickles that are there let us know yeah that’d be fun good watch along uh movie time blues has given us all the conferences uh Big 12 Oklahoma State SEC he’s got LSU ACC he’s got Louisville Big 10 he’s got Penn State yeah Drew Aller is going to have to show me a lot for me to pick on Penn State coming down the stretch last year he was not on the top of his game uh shy Texas Michigan that’s another good game Florida state Georgia Tech Ireland Ohio State Oregon come on guys we have beat reignman into the dirt we got you shy all right we got you we’re going to have in the coming weeks we’re going to have guys on from the Big 12 we’re going to have guys on from the Big 10 we’re going to do season previews we’re going to do our top 25 we’re going to get our not too early Heisman voting uh we’re gonna do all that I promise you sir I promise you uh Ryan Willie says A&M is not going to the big 10 Ryan Willie is a smart man Morris Simmons says there are several schools ahead of Miami Miami has been Irrelevant for 20 plus years I love when Florida State fans always start things as if they didn’t have four or five years of losing records and didn’t have do also empty at times but okay I never start but I won’t just Let It Go all night either um also Miami hasn’t had back-to-back losing seasons in those 20 years so it’s not necessarily as mediocre as it seems at times but whatever Everyone’s entitled to their rival hatred I don’t start but I won’t just let it completely go for six but you can do the next five Mor it’s is totally cool and thank you for being a member for these guys yep and I’m I’m going to probably get to more member comments down the stretch here guys because we have so many coming in tonight uh again Norville run circles around Mario menen do you think Ohio State beats Oregon and Oregon I think that game has massive big 10 Championship all over it I think they do and if they don’t I’m wearing the Donald Duck hat so uh and that Donald Duck Hat’s like 30 years old so I mean between you and hats and uh Greg and on PC having to possibly sing there’s some you know there’s some outcomes that I might be rooting for even though I’m technically possibly rooting or betting against because it’s like a win-win situation or if if Ohio State loses to Oregon in that game Ohio state will win the national championship um because this is the first year of the 12 team playoff in the first year of the four team playoff they lost a game during the season won out to win the national championship they’ll lose to organ went out to win the National Championship uh but the only game I really care that they win is the last regular season game of the year mark Bowman here this is right up your alley we talked a little about it cam Ward will he be that spark I think so you know whether he takes it to the next step I mean look he’s got all the money riding on the line right there he came back to try to get his NFL grades higher than um expected in this past draft so he’s got to take that step and one of those would be to the take that hype and turn it into those kind of wins that really reflect well on him for his draft status Expedition Greg Ohio State versus Oregon definitely Big 10 game of the year yeah I don’t think there’s any that might be the college football game of the year definitely in the you know the preseason running for that you know when the season starts everything could change but that’s what it looks like from afar just be interesting to see who the quarterback at Ohio State is is that still up for a question despite high-profile transfers well I think because they had nobody leave Rock and rant they had like nobody leave so you’ve still got you got will Howard who transferred in fifth year senior you’ve got Deon Brown is still there Lincoln koltz is still there Julian saan transferred in and he stayed a Nolan was their five star coming off of uh signing so I mean they’ve got five quarterbacks there at Ohio State right now what would be the Fallout though from like a will Howard perspective if he doesn’t actually play after being a pretty fairly high priced I’m assuming acquisition is one of the two or three most theoretically in demand transfer quarterbacks earlier this year he’ll get paid his money I think that’s going to be the most important thing to him but I mean it’s you know it is what it is Ryan Day has to win so I mean I I have to think that if Devin Brown was healthy last year he probably plays the last two or three games of the regular season or at least gets significant playing time because Kyle McCord was dog crap uh especially in the Michigan game uh I got another Super Chat here from Mark Bowman I predict that whoever loses the regular season Oregon Ohio State game come back to win the yes I just said that great minds think alike mark thank you well in that case what would you rather do I’d rather have the national championship I’ll wear the Donald Duck at and get the national title that that’s an easy call for me but is he talking about the national championship or he talking about the big 10 Championship Game oh that’s true well I’d still rather win the Big 10 Championship if we beat him get him in the rematch that’s that’s fine thank you for the Super Chat markets much appreciated sir that’s your 20th Super Chat on the stream thank you very much I will give you a legitness that was legitness yeah it was is that a new one no no that’s an old one that was legius yeah uh sh Shane Kina I haven’t seen you before ACC Raycom deal expires in 2027 that’s the big restrictor plate that analogy expect those games to slide into streaming and Mobile in addition to CW over the air and Jim sword will just laugh I was gonna say that’s right up your alley to to make the comment on Swafford and his son so uh thank you for the Super Chat Shane it’s much appreciated sir uh yeah I think I mean he’s still making what 2 million a year was the last report and you know 2023 ACC payouts was rumored that his thank you for screwing us going away Severance was an awesome number about what smu’s media rights are worth in the current yeah it’s it’s amazing to me that you know you know there’s corruption in college football but I mean like they didn’t even try and hide it it’s like so much nepotism and Graft in that whole deal with Raycom that they just never even tried to hide yeah I mean look it’s uh the ACC has you know no one has old boys network more on them than the ACC despite perceptions at least SEC makes some pretty smart business decisions even if they have that history or you know power base among certain people uh difficult this is from Dennis Hattie difficult to see college football being consent with large heavily populated regions of the C country not being interested Midwest and Southeast and Texas are good but you need the new Northeast and Mid-Atlantic I I think you I I completely understand what you’re saying Dennis but I think they’re trying to get more of the Casual fan from those areas and the hardcore fans yeah they would use the SC as a perfect example of you know the SEC ratings in all the areas that the SEC is not actually geographically having a footprint are you know are pretty damn awesome too uh Timothy Green it really does not matter who wins the ACC or the Big 12 in my opinion because even with a perfect record I would think they will take a one loss SEC team or a one loss Big 10 team instead well they can’t this year Timothy because it’s a 12 team Playoff starts this year so that ACC champion and the Big 12 Champion get automatic bids and and plus when you get down you know historically I mean anything could happen but when you have all of these Powers beating up these Powers um it’s unlikely when you balance out records and rankings and all the things that because there still is a committee right like there’s some criteria for the top four um but and the G5 is cool but there is still going to be a choice like it’s possible that the quote unquote 12th best school in the rankings and Power Rankings and opinions doesn’t get it because the G five School slips into that category but generally you don’t have a lot of one lost teams when you get to 9 10 11 12 but you could um but it’s unlikely that you’re GNA have that scenario play out all the way that deep but there will probably be that same thing that Timothy’s talking about will happen when it’s a choice of a a two loss vers a two loss ACC team versus a three loss SEC team I think that’s entirely possible for the same basic thing to play out d G is here in the chat here is a big question what if FSU and Clemson lose in court it will put everything on hold it depends upon I guess right it depends upon how how it’s interpreted it still depends upon what the ESPN does or doesn’t do I mean I we we make the Assumption potentially that if the if Clemson and FSU were still in the ACC for whatever reason um just to play the game theory out that the ESPN would renew their contract but we we don’t know really past 2027 so there’s a second part to it like ESPN might be like you know what actually I’ll make more money not renewing this contract and sliding the allowing or giving the the pathway for those schools to go to the SEC because we still own that I’ll get better ratings on a lot of stuff you know um I think anyone who I’m one of those people and not conspiracy level but just the more people think that they know exactly what’s going to happen it’s almost invariably that we’re going to be wrong on something pretty big yeah I think it goes to settlement anyway I I don’t think this gets to a court battle that’s a win or a loss you know yeah there’s no kids in this divorce that you’re fighting you know Let’s Stay Together for the kids right like right if you know if you’re that’s just not really in the cards there I don’t know that you even want them to stay because they’re just you know angry for nine years and I don’t even think that’ll be the case they think they probably still buy him out just a matter of time uh Michigan plays USC Oregon and Washington this year good that I’d say good uh trony yes you can menen can Ryan Day finally win a big game or is his legacy going to go down with cheating Harbaugh it’s not that he can’t win a big game it was that he couldn’t beat Michigan he he won big games I mean he took him to a national championship game in his second season I believe uh so it’s not like he can’t win the big game it’s just uh you know and he took him to the playoffs his first season so he just got to be able to beat Michigan I want Ro I want revenge for the Rose Bowl against Oregon May you get it may Oregon win May Oregon lose every game I’m not an Oregon fan uh Jared Jones Al to Game of the Year in the big will be alii versus Oregon um that could be a sleeper game that Oregon could get upset you never know that that just seems like one of those games although they’ve got to play the spoiler maker so it’ll probably be Purdue Oregon that gets gets the upset but uh Ryan Ryan Willie says ESPN will screw someone this year they’re already screwing their shareholders so might as well screw some other people too who do you think gets left out by ESPN only because it would just fit the narrative it’ll be some ACC school that doesn’t get the slot you know like they’re are one loss you know they have one loss and the 11th and 10th and not I’m not counting the 12th slot are all three loss secc teams because they would just add three months of content for somebody could you imagine that and you thought ACC they’d be apoplectic if that happened uh y says yeah doesn’t end Notre Dame get in every year by default uh pretty much unless they really screw up they’re they’re going to get that pass by being Notre Dame they’re going to get their Notre Dame on this so uh Kay Johansson says the game he’s looking forward to most as a Michigan fan is USC Michigan at home that bodess well for them being in the big house but I think USC is going to win that game I think USC is going to be much improved this year I mean they definitely invested in their defense we’ll see yeah if that plays out let’s see here you’re chatting Moen okay all right trony chill out we got you brother uh yes but only maybe to 27 instead of 36 because of the ESPN extension talking about the grand of Rights Wisconsin versus pit in Dublin in 2027 again yeah like I think they’ve got a series of games they’re playing in Dublin so and then Dan merer comes back with Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin in 2025 isn’t that the pharmageddon game is that what they call pharmageddon how can you have pharmageddon in Ireland I don’t know well there I mean there are farms yeah I know there’s Farms but you know different kinds of farms uh gopher quarterback Max brosmer over ruter Greek rifle now last year you were singing the Praises of that Greek rifle when he was in Minnesota now that he’s in rers singing the Praises of M brosmer who’s in Minnesota but Mason Rudolph was better than both in college yes but his name was Mason Rudolph M mosy Ro of yes uh FSU and the Big 10 will keep the Rivalry game with Florida and drop Miami that has been discussed already on various FSU Vlogs more power to you Morris most Miami fans would never think about dropping the the Rivalry with FSU I’ll just leave it there uh after dark is the best worst football in the world insane things happen but it is highly entertaining there you go it is must watch I mean that’s the thing you’d be randomly checking Twitter or act whatever you feel like calling it I’ll call it Twitter and at 10 nine o’clock at night and all of a sudden it’s the game is trending because something insane happened and everybody’s who’s still awake is going there for the fourth quarter yeah me I like maxtion I like I like pack after dark but you know that’s as a degenerate Gambler that’s because you can chase it you can chase that night game to try and make up for all your losses during the during the day uh Jared Jones says I would says Jared Jones says I would absolutely watch a live show of big after dark with y’all so you and Sergeant pickles can stay up late and do that I I don’t think I will that uh we’ll figure out you can just do the intro and do a little rant on what happened that day and then sign off and pass it on uh Ryan’s in the same camp I am sorry sergeon pickles I’m not watching a 10 pm game all right guys we got about 15 more minutes left so anything you absolutely want to have R is going to have to be a Super Chat otherwise I’m going to defer to members comments we’re going to try and get through them as quickly as we can uh if you have a question a comment you want us to talk about something go ahead and throw it in the chat and we’ll try to get get to it if we can Jared Jones says Ohio State Games aside Texas Georgia that’s a good one Utah BYU holy war rivalry uh USC Michigan Florida State Notre Dame are some games I’m really looking forward to Florida State Notre Dame that’ll be a good test a good test that would be a good one I’m definitely really interested in the Utah BYU game for the for me one because I’ve become more educated talking to all of you know to you and bomber about things but also just you know when you randomly tagged into a conversation about that game in the Big 12 on Twitter and it goes on for like hundreds of posts of the most vitriolic stuff you know holy war is definitely an accurate description uh Sergeant pickle says call it rival hate but if Oregon loses more than one I could see them fully implode it’s Championship or bust for them uh what happens if they lose to you guys this year will people be screaming that Dan Lanning can’t win the big game we really need to find an Oregon fan or influencer to get on a show with Pickles because I just I’ll get the popcorn for everybody we just need to see that happen uh and moris Simmons again says Miami will not be in the Big 10 unless FSU is in the SEC but Miami will be wherever Morris lives living rentree uh menen if Ohio state does not win the national title will Ryan Day get fired not if he beats Michigan it’s goal one is he has to beat Michigan this year if he doesn’t beat Michigan and doesn’t win a National Championship he’s likely gone uh if he beats Michigan and doesn’t win a National Championship I think he’ll be okay I mean that would be pretty amazing if he were to go whatever 11 and one and and just like he he has the he couldn’t beat Michigan thing and he’s done John Cooper ruined that for everybody because John Cooper was new I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember John Cooper I remember that yeah he could recruit like hell coach like hell except that one game a year he would always blow it uh Ryan Willie has gifted five memberships to the college football Mafia Family we’ll see if that’s going to close it out there for let him cook there we go let him cook now let him cook I said let him cook Sky Jose BR 7062 RT and Wen Morales for gifted memberships by Ryan Willie welcome to the college football Mafia family thank you to Ryan Willie make sure you guys thank him in the chat if you’re not watching live make sure you thank him in the comments Ryan we can’t say enough dude appreciate your generosity to the nth degree uh you’re a great member of the community love you brother I will give you your evil laugh too the evil laugh of the evil Badger uh let me try and get back up to where I was here shonky kle mord only lost one game in the Big 10 either your conference is weak or Ryan Day can’t win big games moan I would be concerned if I was you Kyle mcord was an awesome freshman quarterback except he wasn’t n a freshman he was a junior um and he was a five star coming out and I think you know it showed in those games that Marvin Harrison Jr not only carried him in those games but he carried him to a fivar in high school but talk about Ryan Day nightmares if uh Kyle he was to Syracuse right yeah that’s play at some point well well just even if Kyle you know if Kyle McCord balls out under a new coaching in you know not necessarily just a Syracuse way but like a clearcut you know story way and you know with all of the quarterbacks that are in the the quarterback room in Ohio State for some reason things don’t go the way people were expecting from whoever wins the the you know the starting job and their second in command it would just be add more fuel to the fire that you’re talking about in terms of the Michigan need for him to win uh Almighty Finn is here in the house hey fellas hey Almighty I asked Greg I don’t know what’s going on you know I asked him that’s all I could do man it’s out of my hands now I asked glad hear for you so uh if he does let you back in do not abuse the privilege I mean if he’s warned you a couple times just you know lay low uh Al night Ted says could a power four conference Champion be left out of the playoff with say a nine and4 record but yet other conference members make it as at Large I don’t believe that there’s a you suck out for somebody winning the conference title for the P4 their winners in and one of one slot one to four period oh well no it’s a top if a G5 is ranked ahead of them I think the G5 would get in that slot I I could be wrong on that one so I will I will defer on that uh that is fine KY but he’s not a horrible quarterback he’s not a horrible quarterback but I mean I when you’re coach when when you’re playing at Ohio State with receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr amuka um you had Cade Stover at tight end you you got to be able to win with those guys and he was just he was middling quarterback at best uh Jose congratulations to moan for becoming the first reigning patc Tournament champion thank you if I didn’t know that Moen was real I would have been convinced that he was also a iBot I know a lot of useless about college football I think you ought to see it regular trivia regular trivia I go into bars all the time and just play by myself and beat teams so uh useless I can remember uh it’s astounding uh Ryan Willie says I believe that Wisconsin has the toughest schedule in the big I I don’t know after reading that uh rund down of Michigan it might be Michigan is that an evergreen message you send every year why Ryan [Laughter] uh FSU Miami is a great rivalry hope that doesn’t go away most people would I agree with that Jose pack 10 chasing after dark you’re absolutely right you got to chase it uh clay Johansson says I will watch a 10 p.m. game but I’m a sucker for more football yeah I watch I said I watch pack after dark um if if you want to stay up late just you know do one parlay and make sure one of them’s the late game and magically you’ll stay up yeah I’ll back off moan we are talking about football now yes yes we talked some footballs jski I didn’t lie to you it was not a misnomer uh he didn’t play last year Kansas State benched him mcorder or Howard talking about will Howard being benched uh I remember John Cooper used to coach Arizona State I think it was actually Arizona he coached I could be wrong but I believe it was the Arizona Wildcat SE coach not Arizona State uh because he actually the one big game he did win was the rose bow against Arizona State which denied them a national championship with like six seconds left Joe Germaine to David Boston and that was when they had Jake The Snake plumber uh if Miami loses to Florida I don’t want to hear anything from a Miami fan oh he threw the gauntlet down you got to beat Billy Napier yeah um Georgia Co next uh Antoine Cod John Cooper beat Michigan and the rose bow while at ASU and B ASU and the roseb while at Ohio State sure it was ASU I guess it was Arizona State my God you corrected me though Ryan day gets fired he’s gonna have to go to a school with black uniform so he can keep the Just For Men heal going if Ryan day gets fired he’ll go to Arizona State and somehow beat Michigan on a playoff game uh all P4 Champs are in the playoffs yeah yeah it’s just a matter of where they’ll be seated in the playoffs uh I met freshman at Ohio State it’s hard to type on here sometimes when you’re not getting the message from never mind it’s big 10 why should I expect it tronsky the number one big 10 hater uh yep W Morales Co Cooper coach to ASU the line night Ted any chance we see some type of conference challenges set up in the future like the big big 12 best of eight sign games similar to what basketball does so kind of like doing what the the big and the ACC have done in previous years the big ACC challenge uh you know you do it in a scheduling agreement like that you’re going to have to have all schools get on board with it way it is now the athletic depart each athletic department sets its own out of conference games right but it’s been great to do that when they’ve been bunched together too uh wa Morales says a happening moment we got keny Dillingham if Ryan day was available and Arizona state was in the market and could pay him the most money I think they probably would drop Kenny Dillingham for R day um and then Clemson lost in baseball today I don’t know if you knew that West Virginia lost as well and the only reason I know that ASA Florida State fans keep tagging me on Twitter with the uh baseball news out of Florida State well hey I I might be mistaken but man Florida State took their frustration of the football season out on what was it Yukon yeah in that one game I think they just scored like five more runs I mean that was nuts though uh Fox should schedule a big Big 12 basketball challenge ah man if the Big 10 would only get their heads out of their asses and make basketball a priority again and that might be a good good matchups uh Jared Jones says big SEC has a ton of ooc football games in the near future yes the joint Advisory Group has made sure of that definitely better than the alliance calling it now Romo dun has a far better rookie season than Marvin Harrison Jr you’re wrong pickles and I’m willing to bet money on it uh Marvin Harrison Jr will be the offensive Rookie of the Year in the NFL Kyler might be damned Rome is really good but I don’t know mhj is pretty pretty amazing I would have been happy if either of them fall into the Jets who was who I root for yeah well the Jets got to figure out how to maximize the use of Garrett Wilson first so yeah they’ve already got a fantastic receiver they just need to have a quarterback that can throw it to them oh for sure I just wanted somebody to to to deflect for him so he didn’t get double covered every time uh Rome can have a great year as the third Bears off yeah I don’t think he’s going to have a bad year I think Romo duno is a great draft pick for the Chicago Bears they get a receiver to go with their new quarterback the only problem is he’s a new quarterback Kyler Murphy now he slid Kyler Murray has slid off but he has had all pro Seasons before uh and he’s going to throw to Marvin Harrison Jr he he’s going to Target Marvin Harrison Jr way more than Romo dun is going to be targeted that’s just that’s it but uh I think we’re going to wrap it up here guys um we’re hitting the hour and 15 Minute Market is usually right where I want to stop it that’s right in The Sweet Spot when we’re just talking to hear ourselves talk so uh I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight thank everybody for their generosity with their super chats again a special shout out to Ryan will for the five gifted memberships and Coy for the one gifted membership we added six new members to the family thanks to those two guys it is much appreciated guys and thank you for all the super chats

Here is my prediction: A settlement with the ACC & Clemson & FSU will happen after August 15 ( the drop dead date when they can announce they are leaving for 2025) and 02/01/2025 when ESPN can opt out. Why? The ACC needs to make sure ESPN is locked in until 2037, before negotiations begin with Clemson, FSU & any school that might want to leave ( UNC & UVA?). I am predicting 2026 for the ACC exits.
Thanks for joining us for those who watched live but for everyone- drop in your too early but not too early picks for – the P4 champs, and the full CFP 12 including G5 automatic bid winner. Dark horse to emerge outside of your predictions as well!
I think fsu could announce departure on 8/15, forcing Acc to name the exit cost publicly… which then judge decides thru the burden of proof falling onto the Acc, if it is justified or outlandish
With the B1G 22 teams make the schedule easier. It's because they play 9 confrence games. 3 out of confrence, 3 protected games but not necessarily rival games and a 6 team rotation every three years. Every team plays every team every three years.
If they go to 24 then ten games in confrence would work the same.
Rock and Rant is funny as hell his sign says ACC “ it just means less” 😂😂😂😂😂 you need to sell that as shirts
Clemson and Florida State to the Big Ten
Love the show with Rock and Rant now.
