Mendoza a very "Well, we gotta pick someone" Heisman winner. Should have given it to 2024 Jeanty, that would have been a neat twist.

We have reached our final stretch goal (thank you everyone for honoring Jackie Young) but never opposed to running up the score. Also I think this episode is fun and you might enjoy listening to it this weekend.

Really good discussion on the bowl decision and how that went down. CW on a great run of shows this week, and the charity run still going on it's like 4th stretch goal at this point I think

Due to everyone's generosity, we've activated our final stretch goal: Career points scored in high school, college and the WNBA by the legend Jackie Young. She has many buckets so there's some work to do.

Midweek Christmas Giving newsletter. Talking playoff snub, whether Notre Dame needs to do something major and a few other lingering thoughts.

And tapping the sign because there are a lot of #takes out there.
