    Apr 7 2026

As Andy & Ari make their way home from Indianapolis, Ari asks Andy if this situation is any similar to the recent football hiring in Chapel Hill.

    (46:37) Over-Analysing Spring Videos: Is OSU the TRUE WRU?

    (53:41) Over-Analyzing: Devin Fitzgerald at Notre Dame

    (1:01:24) Conclusion: Ari needs a nap

    After Andy & Ari discuss in depth on what's ahead in Chapel Hill, the fellas need to thank some special people who made this past weekend happen.

    On Monday, On3’s Brett McMurphy wrote an article on the SEC Dynasty and why it has now collapsed. With the Big Ten now champions in football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball, is that true? Andy & Ari discuss.

    Continuing our over-analyzing spring clips series, Andy & Ari take a look at another potential breakout receiver in Columbus. Is Brock Boyd next up? Also, is it time to officially declare Ohio State as WRU? Andy & Ari debate.

    Closing out the show, Andy & Ari head up to Notre Dame, where Larry Fitzgerald’s son, Devin, is already making a name for himself with the Fighting Irish. With an incredible one-handed snag in practice, how much more dangerous can the Irish offense be with a freshman weapon like Fitzgerald? Andy & Ari discuss here

    Thanks for watching! See you tomorrow for Megaboard Wednesday!
