Mike Aresco serves as Executive Producer. Tyler Hale and Stefan Van Engen produce.

The following are excerpts from the show:

(CHRISTINE BRENNAN ON FLORIDA'S CHRIS RAINEY):

I don't think he (Chris Rainey) should be playing.  If we don't learn from the tragedies in sports and the bad things that can happen in sports and life, than what do we got...It's  a privilege, it's not a right to be a college athlete and represent your school.  I'm surprised Urban Meyer is letting him back.   


(CHRISTINE BRENNAN ON STEROIDS):
I have no idea what Brent (Musburger) was saying.  It's irresponsible, it's reprehensible...I hope there is not one young man or young woman out there that decided to maybe try steroids based on what they just heard in the media the last few weeks.  That would be just terrible. 

(JERRY PALM ON PLAYING FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP):
If the winner of the Auburn - LSU game is able to get to 13-0, I believe that that team will end up number one at the end of the season.  It may take a while for that progression to happen, but I believe the voters and I know the computers will take a team that is undefeated in the best conference in the country and put them at the top.  Now that makes Oregon number two and means Oklahoma does not control their own destiny.
