28:00 – On to Pitt-Virginia. What does Jim have against defensive matchups? Is UVa Final Four-worthy? Also, all aboard the Brogdon Train!!!

36:03 – Jim forces Hayes to acknowledge National Signing Day exists. Then they talk about the whole hype thing. Jim argues for why you should at least be interested in the whole thing.

44:50 – Super Bowl talk … which means Russell Wilson talk.
