(Links in notes) Mark Stoops had some things to get off of his chest. Nicole and Chris, in the Power 5, agree with him, but not the timing of his remarks (1:30). In another story about a coach, James Franklin spoke about Penn State's non-con schedule (5:15). Plus, the Apple Cup's in jeopardy (9:30); Washington aims to dismiss Pac-12 lawsuit (11:30), and Mario Cristobal admits he was wrong (14:15). Is Dillon Gabriel a Heisman dark horse (16:15)? In the Open Bar (18:15), a listener asks about Louisville trade-up in coaches. Another wonders when UNC will get the respect it deserves? In the Happy Hour (30:00), the pair preview Oregon-Washington. Clock management issues are tackled in On the Rocks (35:00), and Chris explains the JMU situation, again. Lastly, in the Last Call (48:45), Nicole and Chris plead with the Michigan and Michigan St. student newspapers not to cancel its annual 7-on-7 football game.
