===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 12th Publish Date:  December 12th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, December 12th and Happy Birthday to Frank Sinatra I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb  Cobb County’s making moves to keep pedestrians safer in south Cobb, tackling two big projects: a pedestrian bridge near Factory Shoals Road and new bollards at Mableton Town Square Park. Let’s start with Factory Shoals. That bridge over I-20? Built in 1963, and, well, it shows. No sidewalks, no bike lanes—just a narrow shoulder that’s barely walkable. Commissioner Monique Sheffield said it’s been a problem for years, especially for folks working at nearby businesses. Now, the county’s greenlit a plan for a new pedestrian bridge alongside the old one, connecting sidewalks on both sides. And Mableton Park? Bollards are coming to stop cars from driving onto the grounds—because, yes, that’s been happening. STORY 2: Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects  The Gateway Marietta CID wants your thoughts—yes, yours—on 12 infrastructure projects they’re planning. These aren’t just random ideas; they’re focused on Franklin Gateway, South Marietta Parkway, and Delk Road. What’s on the table? Everything from streetscapes and trails to bridge replacements and new road connections. Some projects, like the Rottenwood Creek Trail extension ($20 million!) and Franklin Gateway bridge rebuild, are already in motion. Others, like adding Gateway signage or narrowing roads for multiuse trails, are still in the “what do you think?” phase. Your input will help shape what gets prioritized. Got opinions? Take the survey before the master plan wraps next year. Visit engage.publiccoordinate.com/en/project/gateway-marietta-cid-project-prioritization. STORY 3: The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker  The Georgia Ballet’s The Nutcracker is back, running Dec. 18–23 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, and it’s bringing all the holiday magic you’d expect—plus a little extra sparkle this year. Here’s the twist: they’ve teamed up with Hamp & Harry’s, a Marietta Square favorite, to add some festive flair. Think Nutcracker-themed cocktails (yes, there’s wine and beer too) in the lobby before the show and during intermission. The ballet itself? Pure enchantment. Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Clara’s midnight adventure, snowflakes, sweets, and Daet Rodriguez’s choreography. There’s even a Sensory-Friendly performance on Dec. 18—perfect for kids or anyone needing a gentler experience. Tickets start at $23. Don’t wait. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: North Cobb Christian student wins statewide essay contest  North Cobb Christian seventh-grader Samille Shy just snagged first place in Georgia for her essay, “What Is Patriotism to Me?”—a big win in the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen contest, which had over 120,000 entries nationwide. Samille’s take on patriotism? It’s about giving back. She wrote about volunteering at a food pantry, helping out at The Humane Society, singing with her school chorus on Veterans Day, and being part of the Sea Cadet Corps. The Georgia VFW loved it, awarding her top honors. Next stop? The regional competition. Not bad for a middle schooler, huh? STORY 5: McEachern rolls into state championship game  Every time McEachern scores, the announcer calls out the updated score. And when the opponent has zero? Oh, the crowd lives for it. They stretch it out—“zerooooooo”—like it’s a victory chant. They’ve had plenty of practice. Over the last two seasons, McEachern’s flag football team has gone 51-2, allowing just 2.9 points per game with 35 shutouts. Monday was no different. The Indians blanked Lithia Springs 19-0, then crushed North Forsyth 33-0 to punch their ticket to the state championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, McEachern heads to the championship, chasing back-to-back titles. GEORGIA TECH: No. 22 Georgia Tech is heading to the Pop-Tarts Bowl to take on No. 12 BYU on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Kickoff’s at 3:30 p.m., and you can catch it live on ABC. This marks Tech’s third straight bowl trip—something they haven’t pulled off since 2012-14—and their 48th all-time, which ranks 14th in college football history. With a 9-3 record, it’s their best regular season since 2014. BYU (11-2) comes in hot, despite two losses to Texas Tech. It’s a ranked-vs.-ranked showdown, Tech’s first since the 2014 Orange Bowl. History’s on their side—they’re 2-0 in this bowl. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute.

Let's breakdown the recent hires in IndyCar of the sanctioning body, the latest with Prema, and how Notre Dame could turn down the best bowl ever, the Pop Tarts Bowl!

Hour one of DJ & PK for Decmeber 12, 2025: Aaron Roderick and Jay Hill, BYU Football Berry Tramel, Tulsa World Frank Dolce, Former Utah Quarterback

In the aftermath of Notre Dame being left out of the college football playoff they continue to be the most talked about story in sports. Continued conversation about them joining a conference and reactions to them turning down an invite to the Pop Tarts Bowl dominates the airwaves. Which begs the question. If Notre Dame is so irrelevant, then why does everyone keep talking about them?

Chaos reigns in college football! In this episode, Kevin and Ciarnan dive into Notre Dame's controversial decision to opt out of a bowl game after missing the playoff, sparking debates on whether ND is the most coddled brand in the sport. Hear a passionate Notre Dame fan's defense and plenty of pushback from the hosts, including takes on conference membership, bowl opt-outs, and the lost shot at Pop-Tarts Bowl glory. The crew runs through playoff rankings, surprising bracket matchups, and analyzes Heisman finalists. Additionally, they break down major coaching changes at Penn State, Iowa State, and Kentucky, and react to Utah's private equity move threatening the soul of college football. The episode rounds out with betting picks, FCS playoff shoutouts, and weather predictions for Army-Navy.  Follow our socials: https://linktr.ee/QuadGate 0:00:09 - Cold Open & Introduction 0:00:55 - Notre Dame Opts Out of Bowl Games 0:14:35 - Playoff Expansion Debate 0:17:00 - Playoff Bracket Breakdown 0:24:22 - Teams Ranked by Likeability 0:30:08 - Heisman Trophy Finalists 0:34:49 - Matt Campbell to Penn State 0:39:38 - Iowa State & Kentucky Coaching News 0:43:56 - Utah's Private Equity Partnership 0:49:56 - Weekly Bets & Army/Navy Weather 0:57:14 - Other Bowl Opt-Outs & FCS Playoff Shout Outs 0:59:39 - Outro and Final Thoughts

This week's episode is loaded with drama, debates, and deep-dive reactions from a massive weekend across college football. We start with rapid-fire recaps from around the country — including Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas Tech vs. BYU, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana — plus Nick breaks out his three favorite OSU FG's of all time. Then we turn to the College Football Playoff rankings and the controversies they created. Did Notre Dame deserve a spot? Should Alabama have snuck in? And with two Group of 5 teams making the field, is this the new normal or a one-year fluke? We also react to the chaos in South Bend after the Notre Dame athletic director blasted the ACC and the Irish announced they're skipping their bowl game. Smart move or a terrible message? Next, we go bowl shopping. Outside the CFP, there are some legitimately great matchups on the slate — including Michigan vs. Texas in the Citrus Bowl, Iowa vs. Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Boise State vs. Washington in the LA Bowl, Penn State vs. Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl, Georgia Tech vs. BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and a sneaky-good Arizona vs. SMU showdown in the Holiday Bowl. Finally, we close with Rick Neuheisel's bold prediction that bowl games will eventually become the first games of the season. Is he out of his mind… or ahead of the curve? It's playoff takes, bowl mania, and wall-to-wall college football — let's go.

Indiana native Kane of Citizen Free Press rejoins the show after an extended hiatus to discuss the battle between Indiana’s MAGA voters and not-so-MAGA Republicans over redistricting. He also gives a national “vibe check” and talks about Indiana reaching #1 in college football, Notre Dame boycotting the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and more. Will Chamberlain then joins to analyze the European Union’s bid to crush online free speech with a mammoth fine against Elon Musk’s X. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

They also take an early look at the matchup between USC and TCU, who will meet in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on Dec. 30. After a break, the podcasters dive into some superlatives for the Trojans' No. 1-ranked 2026 recruiting class, including their picks for a Day 1 starter and favorite recruit as well as who will transform their body the most and who will be a star when it's all said and done. Chris and Shotgun follow with a dive into the players exiting the program, breaking down the future impact of the 11 players that have made it known they plan to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on Jan. 2.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back in a digital room together to break down USC's disappointing showing in a 34-23 loss to No. 13 Notre Dame in South Bend, extending the losing streak since 2011.  Spratling spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' on him failing to see the Trojans win in South Bend and resigns to the fact that he may never get to see it. Trevino goes in another direction to discuss running into a Pop-Tarts Bowl rep on the sideline and making a fool out of himself.  The Helium Boys dive into Stock Up, Stock Down, including Lincoln Riley's playcalling, the offensive line, the officials, kicker Ryon Sayeri, freshman wideout Tanook Hines and the mysterious "Ja'Kobi Dean." They also get a big update on the Stock Neutral debate.  In the second half of the show, they take on some listener questions about offensive tackle Elijah Paige, the way Notre Dame defended Makai Lemon and USC's defensive game plan against the Fighting Irish.  Shotgun spends the Overtime period giving his Trick or Treat thoughts while the hosts also listen to the scariest movies listeners saw as kids.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot is officially in College Football 26—EA Sports owns us now. We talk about all the chaos coming to the game, including Marcus Freeman's rough in-game model, Lou Holtz possibly showing up, and why there still isn't a Mascot Mode. Plus:

I don't watch much college football anymore, but there is a great comparison to be made between two players. Cam Ward, Demetrius Knight, and the death of “Team”. The CIA was forced to release MK ULTRA Mind-Control Details, again proving that the deep state will do whatever they want, regardless of morality. Finally, listen to a story that does a great job articulating the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to those who don't believe or follow him, from a young pastor, Bill Krause Jr.Episode Links:Absolutely Unreal Sequence From Cam WardMiami media and draft experts push back against claims Cam Ward quit; Media that follows Cam Ward and Miami closely pushed back agains the asertion he quit on the Hurricanes by only playing in the first half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl.With all that's wrong with Cam Ward & his B.S. decision to sit out the second half of Miami's bowl game(a loss), there are plenty of guys like Demetrius Knight in the world. Glad we are fans of the Demetrius Knights of the world.Remember the D.C. Madam who ran an escort service for government elites? She told Alex Jones she wasn't suicidal and then was promptly suicided. Guess who blocked her client list from being revealed? Judge Merrick Garland Newly released documents expose CIA's dark MKULTRA mind-control experimentsNew Director of The FBI Kash Patel exposes The CIA was behind the COVID 19 coverup working with Anthony Fauci. “Gina Haspel as Director of The CIA — authorized 6 case officers and intelligence analysts to be paid off so that they would change their assessment on COVID originations”Colbert cuts off Claire Danes before she spills the tea about the intelligence community “allying itself” with the legacy media during Trump's first term.
