North Central and Mount Union are back, and we’re ready to get you to kickoff of Stagg Bowl LI on Sunday night. How healthy are each of these teams? What new wrinkles might we see offensively? How many snaps will Noah Beaudrie get at quarterback for Mount Union? How many passes will Luke Lehnen end up throwing for North Central?

We give you a taste of what we hear from players from both sides of the ball, whether it’s Luke and the Linemen as a boy band for 2025, or Rossy Moore on his favorite way to add productive weight during the season. Plus hear from one player who says he’s too old to deal with all the bumps and bruises, plus those who know their career is ending on Sunday, no matter what.

Geoff Dartt and Brad Spencer each weigh in on key questions surrounding their team and Stagg Bowl LI, plus you’ll hear way more on our pregame show for the game on Sunday night. Frank Rossi joins us and … actually agrees with Logan Hansen on math? What? And it’s Stagg Bowl time, so you know, there’s a musical number involved, now that we’re past the holiday season.
