I never got into House of Cards on Netflix. Was late to the party and there were so many episodes that it seemed a little intimidating, as I never felt I’d finish the entire series. But after living through realignment over the past few years, I wonder if that series would have benefitted me in some way.Regardless, here we sit with news out of the AAC and pending news from the Pac-12 Conference around new additions to the West Coast. I learned last year that I am not a media rights expert and in the fall I rarely have time to dive into the business of football while preparing to call games so today we did the next best thing – had the expert in all things realignment, John Canzano, on the podcast.We recorded at 11:30am PT and by the time we hung up, the AAC said their schools would remain home but thankfully we dove into other potential additions to the Pac-12, as well as the impact that realignment has had in college football.I learned that John has a spreadsheet of games that he leans on when choosing which press box to call home each Saturday and loved learning that it was his wife who nudged him to create his own platform at www.JohnCanzano.com. After all, our wives are always smarter than us. FYI, my wife also gave me the final nudge to start www.Y-Option.com.It worked, and starting this endeavor alongside Jim Thornby also solidified the deal.Along with talking to John, we share our Go Go Go Awards from Week 4, fueled by 76 as John Mateer from Washington State won the 5-Star QB award, Parker Kingston of BYU was our Go Go GONE player of the week, Micah Bernard of Utah was That Dude!, and Troy Taylor was our Headset Hero as Stanford won on the final drive on Friday night in Syracuse.Also, we take a look around the college football landscape and give thoughtful analysis from the lens of the West Coast as USC lost a close one at Michigan, Utah shut down Oklahoma State, Colorado remained drama-FULL and much more.Take a listen and thanks again for the support, it’s felt and greatly appreciated!Much love,YogiThis episode was executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor Ren.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.
