ESPN's Booger McFarland joins the show!

Andy welcomes ESPN's NFL Primetime co-host and college football analyst, Booger McFarland, to today's show! The guys discuss their mutual admiration for Chris Berman and Tom Jackson and the football highlight mecca they created, and the series Andy and Booger grew up adoring, NFL Primetime (1:00). Booger describes working alongside Boomer and acting as the program's number two. The duo commiserate over big guy fashion, and also share style tips for those of broader build, plus Booger talks about how his nickname stuck. With Will Muschamp out at South Carolina, who are the top options to assume the Gamecocks' top leadership position (10:30)? Booger and Andy pinpoint qualified and interesting names for SC's head coach vacancy, and chat about developing culture within a program. Staying in the SEC, why has LSU's defense taken a massive step backwards (19:30)? Is a year of experience all that's needed to remedy the cullender-like defense? Booger ranks his top-4 teams ahead of next week's opening CFP rankings (28:30), and Notre Dame is a lot better in the trenches than what we expected!
