No Finland but we have hit up beautiful Colorado w/ Nokian Tyres and @wesboling.bsky.social to test tires on an ice track. Very fun, a real "can't believe this is my life" type of thing nokiantyres.com/01
NEW EPISODE out now on YouTube. It'll be in your podcast feeds by early morning. Not hiding it from you there, I promise, just need to get it set for you.

What do you look for if you're hiring an AD right now?
@mattbrown.bsky.social
Being an AD means being a good local political communicator
@mattbrown.bsky.social
“It fucking sucks!”
Correct!
Mississippi's no-tax NIL bill won't change much

The hardest part of being an athletic director: saying No to coaches
We asked our listeners how they feel about their schools' athletic directors.
The lesson: If you're an AD, you don't really want your fans to have a strong opinion on you: www.splitzoneduo.com/p/athletic-d...

When I was in college and Christian Hackenberg was getting sacked 20 times a game at Penn State, I thought "wow this kid is the biggest bust in recent times." With age, I have recognized that five-star QBs fail all the time and he had essentially no chance of success behind a sanctioned OL
Christian Hackenberg got a really bad deal at Penn State
By the way, Nokian is doing a giveaway of a free trip to Switzerland for a big hockey game for a lucky winner here: na.nokiantyres.com/hockey/
Todd Monken (allegedly) quit Southern Miss because the school backed out of paying his assistants more

@stevengodfrey.bsky.social joins us to revisit 2012 coaching cycle, one of the most consequential in cfb history.

Regardless of your personal politics, Todd Graham isn't likable enough to garner votes
Hugh Freeze once texted an Archie Manning telling him why he's a great fit at Ole Miss
(it was not THAT Archie Manning)
Name as many Virginia Tech players as you can (without naming current Hokies)

I just need 18 points so that my old college roommate didn’t have to return home from Afghanistan to see Florida lose to Vanderbilt at home for the first time since World War II
I’m allocating 5 points to flip the 2012 SECCG not just to undo the most painful loss of my lifetime, but also because it gives Mark Richt a national championship and changes the entire trajectory of the SEC for the next 15 years with wherever Kirby Smart ends up
Ohio State's current standard in recruiting can be attributed to Urban Meyer
2005: 3 points against MTSU, 1 point against Florida, Vandy is 7-5
2006: 4 points and Vandy beats Bama 18 years early, 3 more and Arkansas as well, 6-6
2007: 6 more points beats UT and UGA and 7-5
16 total points = 4 straight bowl seasons for Bobby Johnson's Commodores
By reallocating 12 points, I can get Pitt into two playoffs/national championship games with undefeated seasons in 2009 and 2021.
this is an awesome concept & fun episode
