Championship Week is upon us, as is Early Signing Day, as is the coaching carousel, as is the offseason for some.

Not here at Y-Option. We are going for it! And when it’s 77 degrees out West, we are doing it with board shorts on.

Thanks to our founding partner 76, today we welcome in Doug Lesmerises, creator and host of Kings of the North, the lead podcast covering college football through the lens of the North. Doug has been an expert on all things Big Ten Football for decades and today we took a look back at the Ohio State and Michigan game, as well as a look forward to Oregon and Penn State. We have a thoughtful conversation around Ryan Day, postgame flag planting and who we trust the most in college football. (Spoiler, it’s the Ducks)

Jim Thornby and I also dive into our weekly Go Go Go Awards, current coaching changes and I give a blunt assessment of the Arizona Wildcats, as well as the ridiculousness of the transfer portal and quarterback demands.

It’s a fun conversation, full of emotion, energy and hopefully insight into college football from the lens of the West Coast.

I’m off to Eugene to sit down with Dan Lanning and study film with Dillon Gabriel. More on that and Championship Weekend this week at www.Y-Option.

As always, thanks for the love and support!
