Description
In another dynamic Thursday edition of the show, Andy and Ari react to the Southeastern Conference and ESPN's handshake deal that will grant the network broadcast rights to conference football and basketball games (:30). What does this mean college football? How much are we going to miss the broadcast jingle, tradition and Verne Lundquist dancing the Soulja Boy? The gents segue into week 15and discuss the preceding weeks' lack of "Oh, Martha!" outcomes (9:45). Though marginally underdogs, is Iowa the superior team headed into Saturday's Wisconsin matchup (14:15)? Andy and Ari preview Florida and Alabama's last stepping-stone contests on their way to, presumed, SEC title game appearances (17:00). Is the clock ticking on Chris Del Conte and Texas' Tom Herman decision (23:15)? The Commonwealth Cup can be viewed as either a springboard or mire for Justin Fuente depending on the outcome (25:30). What about Virginia Tech is alarming to Ari? What should we expect from North Carolina-Miami this weekend (34:30), and what does the future hold for the Tar Heels? Ari takes up arms to defend USC's playoff aspirations while Andy applies a generous amount of seasoning to the double-serving of crow he's set to eat (38:30). To wrap, the duo Randomly Rank defunct mall stores (46:30).
