Born in Wisconsin, Culver’s is the home of the legendary ButterBurger, Fresh Frozen Custard and Wisconsin Cheese Curds—there’s no better representation of America’s Dairyland than that.

We’ll have some very special guests throughout the Draft that you won’t want to miss, so stay tuned for more details and get ready for a weekend of fun, made fresh with our friends at Culver’s: https://go.culvers.com/culvers/sAkHC

It's Friday, and yes, Nico Watch still continues. While all signs point towards UCLA for the former Tennessee quarterback, there has yet to be anything official announced.

Meanwhile, the quarterback room for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish got a little smaller on Thursday, as veteran Steve Angeli enters the portal. Is this a potential option for Tennessee in 2025, or will Angeli look to go to the group of 5?

It's also a Dear Andy & Ari show, and we have some excellent questions from our listeners. First off we take a look at the 2023 QB class which contains Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, Sam Leavitt, and Lanorris Sellers. Were the qb rankings of these guys accurate so far? What about the class of 2021 and 2022?

More questions revolve around Nico, but one from an Oklahoma fan comes in on Jim Nagy: Is he worth the hype?

Later, the guys do a deep dive into North Carolina's situation on the field while discussing the news regarding Bill Belichick and his girlfriend.

To wrap up, we receive a gift from Producer River's high school coach: his hudl tape. We close out the show by breaking down some of River's best plays, and others that are definitely illegal these days.
