Episode Details

We are Scoop-less this week as his daughter competes in a big soccer tournament, so it's Toast and Roman helming the ship. We quickly dive into this week's ranking of the Top 50 head coaches in college football, where Mario came in at #12... even though he's fresh off the National Championship Game. Toast and Roman both pick apart some of the coaches ahead of Mario on the list, including Dan Lanning at Oregon who Mario has definitely surpassed.

The state of the defense comes into question, as we are now missing out on some 5-star recruits (largely due to money) and what that means for recruiting going forward. And we're shocked at how boujee we sound by saying we should be getting all these five-star guys because this was never the state of Miami football! Miami also broke his silence on Darian Mensah this week - calling him an "alpha" - and we hear from him on the state of the program and the "positive anger" they have to get back to the title game.

Props to Jai Lucas and the Miami basketball team for knocking off North Carolina in Coral Gables, and how Jai might end up as the ACC Coach of the Year - which would be a WILD turnaround for this program. And while Toast loved the Super Bowl because his team was so dominant, Ro felt like it was a terribly boring game and Drake Maye was seeing horrible ghosts all night.
