Kidding. Not kidding.
The person NBC needs to hire is Jessica Smetana. She’s smart, funny and charismatic. We need one ND person somewhere in the mix and she’d be great.
Game Day and the Fox college pregame shows would also be improved if they broke up the boys clubs. McAfee brings so much testosterone and meathead energy, it gets unbearable. Saban and Herbstreit with say Auerbach would be better and make the show a bit more accessible. My wife can’t take more than 10 minutes of it and I guarantee she’s hardly alone.

- good Auerbach article on first year of the playoff -
