On our very big, important May Q&A show we muster the courage to attack the following topics:

• Who’s the next Bill Snyder? We took this to mean a coaching legend who leaves or retires on decent terms and returns to right the ship.

• Where does the Big Ten West stand with two new high profile coaches in P.J. Fleck and Jeff Brohm at Minnesota and Purdue, respectively? Further, is it a particularly good time to be Northwestern?

• Beyond USC’s Sam Darnold, who makes up the cream of the 2017 college football QB class? Does Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph qualify as “under-the-radar? Will Wyoming’s Josh Allen, who’s receiving a good amount of NFL Draft attention, be able to showcase his abilities against quality defensive personnel this fall?

We also answer your bathroom etiquette questions, which include queries about talking, urinal choosing, ajar doors for watching TV, mobile toilet paper, and possible stall deaths.

... and much more!
