#487: Miami Kicks Off Next Week | Jam it in the Muffler

It's the last show of the offseason and Ro, Scoop and Toast run back the Nick Saban and Mario Cristobal audio that dropped the same day last week, then get into whether the ACC has enough teams built to actually go toe-to-toe with the SEC. The take: Mario might be part of the problem, since Miami is currently sitting on eight of the ACC's top 10 recruits and starving the rest of the conference. From there the guys hit their nationwide storylines heading into the year — Arch Manning and whether Texas finally breaks through, a Virginia Tech team they're genuinely excited about under James Franklin, and the Florida State coaching search with no obvious answer once Norvell is gone. They also get into the NCAA's new rule blocking players who were on active pro rosters from returning to college ball, and the mess it's already causing at LSU under Lane Kiffin. Also: an NFL owner's rough week makes headlines, the Dolphins' dead money situation gets roasted, and the crew closes with three Week Zero picks before locking in an episode title live on the show.
