With our fanbase, one can imagine all sorts of meltdowns. Meltdowns from losing against any given team regardless of record and ranking; game-day unis or head coaches wearing shoes which don't match their belts.

Diaz wasn't a guest often on the show but he would pop on his TV show and (local?) radio show during college football season. I think Kornheiser had a Mancrush on Diaz.. lol.

Yeah, nothing beats great television like 2 great football minds talking ball in English with a Castilian lisp.

I think both followed Elko to ATM? Perhaps Simpson stays at Duke if he is promoted to DC?
