Andy & Ari On3

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia continues to liven up the college football world, this time with a pledge on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast that after this season Vanderbilt will “run” the state of Tennessee. This was a shot at Tennessee, which has a fanbase that certainly won’t take that statement lightly.

(0:00-2:53) Intro: Diego Pavia
(2:54-15:19) Could Vanderbilt run the state of Tennessee?
(15:20-24:13) How much money is too much money?
(24:14-31:40) Generational wealth, Pavia on Big Ten
(31:41-48:49) CFP Format: 9 Conference games for SEC?
(48:50-58:17) How should fans spend their money moving forward?
(58:18-1:10:00) Story Time, Movies that need a Sequel
(1:10:01-1:15:07) Producer River's stakes on Tennessee-Vandy
(1:15:08-1:16:16) Conclusion: "Brick by Brick"

Meanwhile, Illinois coach Bret Bielema told a group of reporters that he doesn’t believe the College Football Playoff should expand to 16 if the SEC doesn’t play nine conference game. This came as conference commissioners were meeting in Asheville, N.C., to discuss the CFP format for 2026 and beyond.

In the new age of college football, the title “general manager” means something different on every campus. Several schools have hired GMs and given them something similar to the power of an NFL GM.

(0:00-0:22) Intro
(0:23-19:44) Ron Rivera's Role at Cal, House Settlement
(19:45-20:06) Watch our show on YouTube!
(20:07-35:03) How will the house settlement impact spending?
(35:04-39:30) Update on the mystery at Ari's House
(39:31-43:38) Putting a bow on the GM discussion
(43:39-52:06) Jake Garcia signs with Michigan
(52:07-53:59) Conclusion

We thought that might create a power struggle with coaches, but what happened Monday suggests it also may create a power struggle with athletic directors.

Cal athletic director Jim Knowlton retired with four years left on his contract, and it’s clear that newly installed GM Ron Rivera — the former Panthers and Commanders head coach — has assumed the role Knowlton had when it comes to football.

Meanwhile, well-traveled quarterback Jake Garcia committed to Michigan. The former four-star recruit has been at Miami, Missouri and East Carolina. Why are the Wolverines dipping into the portal for a QB now?

The boys are back from vacation, and they’re talking about some players who could help redefine their new teams’ trajectories.

(0:00-6:30) Recapping Vacation Week
(6:31-9:32) Elite 11 Top Regional Performances
(9:33-32:47) Transfers who change everything: Mark Gronowski at Iowa

(55:25-1:07:59) The mystery at Ari's house
(1:08:00-1:10:36) Conclusion: Jeff's Email

New Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski was a star at South Dakota State, and he might bring the one thing the Hawkeyes have been missing — competent QB play — to Iowa City.

We’ve talked a lot about John Mateer at Oklahoma, but he could make a massive difference in the Sooners’ fortunes.

Meanwhile, new Nebraska receiver Dane Key came from Kentucky and might help Dylan Raiola take the next big step.

Plus, the guys discuss a bar fight at the College World Series and a mystery at Ari’s house.

Plus, Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire says we need to stop assuming one conference is better than another and let the teams decide it on the field.

Also, Alabama’s Ryan Williams told Jon Gruden the Crimson Tide will “kill an ant with a sledgehammer” when they play Vanderbilt this season. Vandy quarterback Diego Pavia responded quickly.
