The Triple Option

Baby Jesus, cafecitos, three first round NFL draft picks; the U is here.

Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone talk about Kalen DeBoer landing another stud in the quarterback room with the signing of Elijah Haven. Coach Meyer then takes you inside his recruiting strategy when dealing with top guys and managing rooms with too much talent.

Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes fell short in the College Football Playoff National Championship last season, but are reloaded for another run in 2026. Cristobal talks about the call for him to go back to Miami, filling the trenches with absolute dogs, as well as navigating the ever changing landscape of NIL and the transfer portal.

Finally, we pour out some Arkay Zero Proof for Shedeur Sanders who returned to Colorado to walk the stage and get his college degree, after his rookie season in the NFL.

Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone debate if Ohio State asking fans to "Round Up for NIL" at the concession stand this Spring is fair play or going too far?

The Raiders are on the clock and all things are coming up Mendoza.

Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone dive into the latest with Spring ball starting with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and their new QB1 Alberto...Mendoza.

Coach discusses his top QB battles, including Dwayne Haskins v Joe Burrow and gives his advice for coaching a younger sibling, as he did with Nick Bosa after Joey Bosa dominated.

The greatest NFL Draft analyst in the game, Todd McShay, joins Coach Meyer to talk about this year's class and answer the big questions, such as: What quarterback goes after Fernando Mendoza, where do Jeremiyah Love and Sonny Styles land, what position could come off the board faster than expected, and what will be the one thing we won't be able to stop talking about Friday morning?

We wrap in Columbus where, tell us if you have heard this before, a superstar freshman wide receiver dominated over the weekend. This time it is Chris Henry Jr., who wowed at the Ohio State spring game. The guys discuss what reasonable expectations are in year one opposite of Jeremiah Smith.

Clear hearts, can't lose...does it work in college too?
