Happy New Year! It's good to be back.

Here's some exciting New Year's news: 1051 people have viewed my show's profile on BTR and the show has been listened to 910 times. I've only just begun!

I hope you're ready to discuss sports with me again this week. Here are some of the topics I've been thinking a lot about:

Which states have the most recruits in ESPNU’s Top 150 High School Football recruits? Besides the obvious: Florida and Texas. It surprised me. Which “Big Ten state” has the most recruits? Where are those recruits going? Let’s break down the top QB recruits. Where are they going? What makes them so great?

If there’s time:
* Some people are saying this is the worst bowl season ever. What do you think?
* Whose got the best recruiting class in college football this year (thus far)?
* How much ($) are these bowls worth to the school and coaches?
* All undefeated teams are created equally...so they say.
* NFL players should be able to take off all the time they need at the end of the season to get ready for the playoffs! Right?!
* The Big Unit has retired from baseball after 22 years. How do his numbers in the 90s compare to his numbers in the 2000s?

Looking forward to another Big Ten victory tonight in a bowl game...Go Hawkeyes?!

Join me Thursday from 7-8 p.m. Oh, I guess we should preview the National Championship game as well. Until then!
