Jackson wasn't pleased with the lack of a sunset at The Rose Bowl.

(31:35-48:05) Surprisingly enough they weren't happy with the first day of the EMOTD and the filtering process. James Carlton is in-studio. James called The Hoosiers routing The Tide. Any of the four teams remaining could win it.

(9:36-28:19) What's the filtered file looking like so far this morning? People started early. Say it slower, Tim. Sounds like Jackson is being sarcastic. Running around naked at the MAC over break. Jackson didn't watch a minute of Blues hockey. Billikens did a little skull pounding over the break. That eagle was flapping his wings non-stop.

(00:00-26:42) Welcome to 2026. Doug's not gonna be good to us this year. Today starts the brand new EMOTD competition. Arbor Day is an institution. Do you want a new HVAC or not, lady? The most substantial Sadie Hawkins Doug has ever had. Rough night for the Ravens kicker last night. Not just a fat, a guy fat. NFL playoff picture.

(26:50-56:45) Doug forgot about The Gator Bowl. Conflicting feedback on Jackson's "Best Of" work for break. Blues with a couple of wins over the holiday break. Non Gay isn't convinced just yet. Harrison's Brother Master with a Jordan Kyrou update. Sharon joins him in one of the most hated alliances of all-time. Doug can't eat lamb. Tim's financial future is tied to the Miami Hurricanes. Austin Simmons sounds like he may be coming to Columbia. Indiana not getting due respect. Maybe Drink wasn't in the hunt for the Penn State job.

(56:55-1:08:10) SMASH that like button. Someone bought Jackson a beer in honor of Tim. How was the scene at Duke's? Big weekend of CFB and NFL playoffs coming up. Audio of both Mike Francesa and Mad Dog Russo struggling to pronounce Jaxon Smith-Njigba's name. Jackson hasn't shaved in a month.
