Joel and Nick started the show acknowledging that Barry Laminack couldn’t join the show today because he is sick. While he’s home taking antibiotics, Nick Sharara is working a long shift to help out with The Usual Suspects. The guys talked about a few of the bowl games and a caller called to discuss Michigan and BigTen Specifically. Lastly, they talked about how much easier it was to shop on New Years’ day during the holidays considering everyone usually has a long night on New Years’ Eve.
