We've hired Howard Griffith as our college insider. His first visit in the studio was top shelf and all of us immediately said "Let's do this every week." HG will be with us for two segments - in studio - today at 4:00. Howard was an excellent guest when he was Terrell Davis' blocking back in his Denver days and he's a well prepared, warm analyst for the Big Ten Network (and now, us).

We also had Ron Zook on Wednesday at 2:20. And unlike his last stop, which fell short of some of the expectations here, we inquired about injuries and his offensive line. You post it here, we say it there.

I'm only half-way through a five-year deal. Jurko is up next summer, if memory serves. None of the three of us have discussed (at least, to my knowledge) any changes in the short-term.

Ask him about his diet if you get him on.

Habits are hard to change. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but the lifestyle change would cost anybody seven digits+. I doubt anyone would want to pony up that tender to a guy with no record of a morning audience.

I just vomited, I think.

As a sophomore, Leman added items he couldn't find at the training table. He drinks 20 raw eggs — extra large, yolks intact — and ingests 10 tablespoons of olive oil daily, accounting for 2,700 calories. Raw meat is not out of the question.

He consumes red meat daily and regularly piles on the cheese, peanut butter, nuts and coconut oil while maintaining a cholesterol level of 150. Yet he doesn't like mealtime.

"He hates food right now," Happy Leman said. "He's just tired of eating. There's too much food going through him."

This is still a damn good show and better than most of the other garbage around the dial, so, thumbs up.

If Green Bay didn't spit the bit against the Bears, you would have been hearing A LOT MORE college football. This is decidedly a Bears/Cubs town, but when they fade into Bolivian, it makes it easier to slip out to the perimeter.

As for morning drive somewhere. I have spent the last 16 years doing afternoons. I would welcome a new challenge... a little change, maybe. My "body clock," however, has been trained to spend mornings quietly reading the papers, the message boards, writing, exercising, golfing, fishing, etc. My whole day is about "gearing up" for taking people home from their work days. Habits are hard to change. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but the lifestyle change would cost anybody seven digits+. I doubt anyone would want to pony up that tender to a guy with no record of a morning audience.

Mac, I really can't see you doing mornings. Yeah I'd listen but your style doesn't fit well for a morning show for me. Just like I don't think B&B sound right in afternoons still. They were a perfect fit for mid-days and wish they'd have stayed there. North's shtick doesn't work well for me at any time and him being on in the mornings just makes it worse.

Wayne Gretzky is long gone and the league as a whole sucks. Again, is there market research showing that the NHL is something people really care about?

The only difference I can see is that ESPN airs the NBA, just like it airs that NASCAR crap, so it is pushed on us

Can I throw out my Team of Destiny T-shirt that I got at the last MJH remote?

My Dear Friend SlappySour,
Finally! A good one! It only took 1900 posts but you did it, and all by yourself! This one is going on my Fridge.
You,
Evil J.A.C.K.
