We're recapping the five SEC Spring Games from this past weekend, and we start with the Texas Longhorns as Arch Manning shined for Texas, throwing for 355 yards and 3 TDs, while Quinn Ewers threw a pick-6 in limited action. Sark is firm on Ewers being QB1, but shouldn't he at least deem an 'open competition'? Is Texas making a mistake not letting Arch battle for the starting job? We also recap Oklahoma's Spring Game as Jackson Arnold is the guy at QB and has a nice deep threat weapon in WR Deion...

On today's show, we are bringing you our takeaways from all EIGHT SEC Spring Games that took place this past Saturday. We start with Alabama, as we were very impressed with new wrinkles from Kalen DeBoer, and the run game looks to be dominant led by Jam Miller, Richard Young & Justice Haynes. Jalen Milroe has weapons everywhere, and the defense should be solid. Meanwhile, Georgia is loaded again as QB Carson Beck is back - I like what I saw from Dillon Bell, Oscar Delp and Lawson Luckie. Trevor ...

Is Mark Pope the right guy for Kentucky? We are joined by Jake Hatch of Locked on Cougars, who's covered Mark Pope throughout his time at BYU. We run through the resume of Mark Pope and find out what he's like when it comes to recruiting, X's and O's, and leading a college basketball team. Is this just a sentimental pick for Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart? And more importantly, with Pope having never won a tournament game as a head coach, can he lead Kentucky back to deep tourney runs and ultimately...

On today's show, we react to Kentucky basketball losing in the first round to Oakland, and ask if John Calipari just coached his last game at UK. Losing as a 3-seed to a 14-seed, with several early NCAA Tournament exits for Cal could lead many decision makers at UK to make a tough decision. But with Cal's buyout around $33 million, it would take Calipari stepping aside himself. And if Kentucky did part ways with Coach Cal, where could they go for their next coach? With Nate Oats likely off the t...

We react to the news that the SEC is sticking with an 8-game conference schedule once again in 2025, when many thought they would be shifting to nine SEC games. Not only that, but they're going to keep the SAME opponents from 2024, just flip home and away. Seems pretty lazy, Greg Sankey. Our buddy Chris Marler joins the show to give his thoughts, as the guys discuss of course this all motivated by money. But who benefits most from keeping the same opponents two years in a row? Mizzou looks like ...
