Show Notes
It's Monday and you know what that means, it's time for an all new Aaron Torres Podcast. Aaron discusses a wide-ranging list of topics across college sports, ranging from Gus Malzahn's firing to Florida's loss and the impact it had on the playoff picture. He then transitions to hoops to talk Keyontae Johnson, Coach K vs. Nate Oats and Kentucky hoops losing again. Here is a rundown of today's show.
Gus Malzahn fired, Florida loss + Dan Mullen comments: It was a busy weekend in college football, and Aaron opens the show with the somewhat shocking firing of Gus Malzahn at Auburn (3:30). He wonders what it means big picture - would Auburn *really* be willing to fire a guy and pay him $21 million if they didn't have a back-up plan? And is that back-up plan Hugh Freeze? From there he talks about Florida's shocking loss to LSU, it's impact on the playoff picture (19:30). Also, is Dan Mullen right - are we really punishing teams that have played more games, when Ohio State is line to make the playoff with just six games played (26:00)?
Keyontae Johnson, Coach K vs. Nate Oats and Kentucky loses again: Finally, Aaron hits on a wild weekend on college hoops. He touches on the terrifying, scary situation with Keyontae Johnson at Florida, but also explains why we shouldn't rush to conclusions on what happened or what it means for college hoops going forward (34:30). He then discusses Nate Oats comments about Coach K, why Oats is right and why more people like him need to speak out (41:30), and wrap on Kentucky basketball losing again (54:00) - but actually showing signs of life in the process.
