Things discussed:

Citrus Bowl matchup: how much is Alabama showing up? Full bore not feeling great.

Bama defense has been somewhat vulnerable this year.

Sam: converted to the church of offense (we are not affiliated with this church).

Age of offense: part of that is rules—pick plays, going downfield on RPOs make it too easy for elite defenses to pick on even the best defenses.

This year who has an elite shutdown defense?

Basketball things:

Can't be too surprised when you're 3/18 from three. Couldn't really execute their defensive gameplan.

Credit to Illinois: played well. Cockburn hit his first 6 free throws: c'mon!

Juwan flubbed the substitution pattern some: Castleton shouldn't be out there when Cockburn is.

Illinois on the boards: that's what they do, but 41% of their misses is too much.

What we do is shoot, and Franz wasn't making them. Give him time, but Johns deserves some minutes.

Relearn the lessons about letting bigs get under the basket on transition.

Michigan's blocks are going back to the opponent. Stop blocking balls back into the hands of the opponent for easy buckets.

Like Juwan's plan against zone—this used to fritz out Beilein

Craig: not blaming the refs, but also not sad it was Lewis Garrison who got clocked.

Oregon: learned about them in Bahamas; they almost got past Gonzaga. UNC isn't that good.
