Scoop's somewhere out there gallivanting the globe again, so it's Toast and Ro holding it down from the Gables. And there's no shortage of material this week.

The boys open with the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech — a retired judge dusted off from mothballs ruled that a QB who literally bet on his own games should suffer no consequences because, hey, he needs the camaraderie. The NCAA, an organization that spent decades barking like a Doberman, turns out to have no teeth. Or dentures, if you will. Pete Rose did the same thing and he's not in the Hall of Fame. Sorsby's getting $5 million. Make it make sense.

Then it's all Canes. Miami opens the season as a 21.5-point road favorite at Stanford — and for once, that number actually fits. The boys break down whether this roster can cover spreads like that from week one, what the offense looks like under Darian Mensah and Shannon Dawson, and why the running back room somehow kept everybody. No portal exits. Zero. In this economy.

They get into the Clemson trip (7-point favorites at Death Valley), the Notre Dame game (7-point dogs, but hey), CBS projecting Miami to spend the most time at No. 1 this season, and what it actually means for a program to play with expectations instead of just for survival. Plus the Ezekiel Anigbale quote that sums up Mario's culture in one sentence. And a quick baseball note — Blake Morningstar from Wake Forest is now your Friday night ace.
