This episode of TRP covers a few different topics. As my excitement for football season grows, I wanted to briefly discuss Mullen's recruiting class, what life is like when you are tall, and a few other subjects. The following topics are covered in this episode:

  1. 117 More Days Till Football Season!
    1. Tweet of the day
    2. “Guys like Mullen and Pastner are built for recruiting in today’s college sports world. This isnt 5-10-15 years ago, it’s a whole different animal nowadays.”
      1. While other coaches complain, Dan and Josh embrace.
        1. Because of their salesman personalities
        2. Josh said this way is more efficient

  2. What it’s like being a tall
    1. Pros
      1. Helped me with dating
