Justin, Dan and Painter open the show by discussing John Cohen’s comments on Auburn’s apparel deal. They talk about how Nike has emerged as the new favorite to get the contract, why it’s more about style than substance and how 90s aesthetics are coming back around these days.

Then they switch over to the basketball news of the week: Tre Donaldson’s depar…

Justin Lee of the Opelika-Auburn News makes his return to the podcast to help the guys answer a simple question: What can we do to bring the juice back to spring football? Also, why have things changed so much for A-Day in the last decade?

Then they switch gears to look back at what Johnnie Harris and Auburn women’s basketball did to crack the NCAA Tournament field this past season and why the future looks bright for the Tigers. After that, Lee gives his annual preview of Auburn gymnastics ahead of nationals and explains how Jeff Graba’s squad could get hot at the right time.

The episode concludes with the biggest rout to date in Painter’s actor bracket.
