We've got a guest packed show as Golic is out traveling this week after calling Monday Night Football. First up is The Dan LeBatard Show's very own Lucy Rohden! Smetty asks Rohden about attending the Red River Rivalry game. The Longhorns lost to the Sooners and Lucy lost to the fried fair foods. Fried Butter. Fried Fireball. Corndogs for breakfast. Oklahoma's defense pleasantly surprised Rohden, but Texas' repeated errors did not. According to her, Texas fans should be mad that they didn't burn more time on the clock and the early turnovers that ultimately led to their 34-30 loss. Who is going to screw up the most in the Big-12? Is there truly competition in the conference? Jess is confused about Iowa State's uniforms (Lucy explains and it's not what you think). Lucy recently moved to Miami and is now a stone-cold hater. The two discuss the Miami v Georgia Tech game with the surprising end that has everyone talking. They talk USC and Iowa Women's Basketball before Jess is joined by NBC Sports Notre Dame Football Sideline Reporter, Zora Stephenson. Stephenson will be reporting from the sidelines this weekend for the USC game, and she discusses why Fighting Irish fans should be a bit more optimistic. Zora gives the history of her “Chuck Cam”, how she preps for sideline reporting and, as the former sideline reporter for the Milwaukee Bucks, she gives her feelings on the Damian Lillard trade. They round out their discussion talking about the WNBA Finals and breakout star (and former ND grad) Jackie Young. Gojo joins Smetty to talk Notre Dame football. Does their offensive line suck? What went wrong in the Duke game? Who is the best five that need to be on the field? Can they beat USC this weekend? They're holding on to hope. Join us next week! Follow Mike and Jess on Twitter!
