On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal, we run through a ton, including:

• What do we think of some of the more recent hires, including Kevin Sumlin to Arizona, Washington State DC Alex Grinch to Ohio State, and LSU OC Matt Canada to Maryland (among many more)?

• What were the biggest surprises of the NFL early declaration list? Clemson’s DL returning in its entirety? Stanford RB Bryce Love hanging around after an electric season? Jarrett Stidham returning to Auburn after taking down both College Football Playoff National Championship finalists?

• We then recap our Fantasy Things season, highlighting our best performers. How did “Josh Rosen’s Hot Takes” do? What about “Tom Rinaldi Tearjerkers”? Did “Michigan State’s 2016 Was an Anomaly” perform as well as Ty expected it to?

• Also, we finally give away some free shirts to listeners who submitted stories about how and where they listen to the show. Good News: If you like foreign countries, lasers, livestock, or submarines, you’re in for a treat?

... and much more!
