Stan Kroenke buying the Los Angeles Angels is a boring story, but it's good for baseball

The biggest story though, other than that, is a boring story that teams just keep getting sold and bought. And Stan Kroenke is now the owner of the Los Angeles Angels, which I think is good.

LSU getting kicked out of the SEC would actually be good for their brand

The SEC condemned [bringing back NFL camp players] and then they got together and they're talking about banning it, and then now they're saying that they will in fact kick LSU out if they attempt to do this. Okay. Which, I mean, this is good. I think for LSU'S brand, it's just being like Rebels. Yeah. And a conference that also features Ole Miss. They are the true rebels.

West Virginia will have a 'Rich Rod Renaissance' year in 2026

I'm gonna take West Virginia minus 21. I'm high on Rich Rod. I think he's gonna get his swagger back this year. Okay. I think this is a Rich Rod renaissance year. You just close your eyes. Late October gameday's at Morgantown. Pat McAfee's going crazy. Rich Rod. Hey, it's, it's like the old days.

LSU will supplant Texas as the second-best team in the SEC

I look at LSU and the coaching upgrade that they have and how talented that team is. I wonder if they're not the second best team in the league.

Indiana has a real chance to have the best defensive line in the Big 10

I believe there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the Big 10. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys as they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps... They've got like fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's a huge advantage to have.

Illinois is a sleeper team that could go 10-2 and make the College Football Playoff

Who's the Big 10 team that could crash the party? Illinois. I think that you look at what they did at the quarterback situation... Kaden Feagin comes in from East Carolina. I believe he's a very similar player to Luke Altmeyer. I also believe he is more of a downfield threat with his arm that could open up a part of that Illini offense that we haven't seen yet... I think it's a program that is building. So if things click, they've got a schedule that compared to other Big 10 teams, not as difficult. There is a path for them to get to 10 and 2. And if they get to 10 and 2 and you're a Big 10 team, you're in the playoff conversation.
