Hour 3: Roc blasts the growing trend of bowl-game opt-outs, debates the NCAA’s postseason problem with Jimmy B, revisits Howard Balzer’s critique of the Cardinals’ constant coaching churn, talks Michigan State and Cardinals–Texans with Rob Fredrickson, and wraps with a Lerner & Rowe “One Call That’s All,” State 48 Roofing results, and what’s on tap for the weekend.

Roc opens hour three with a fiery rant on the NCAA’s growing issue of players opting out of bowl games, arguing that skipping postseason play hurts both tradition and the sport, while Jimmy B counters that NIL-era priorities now drive athlete decisions more than team commitments. Roc then pivots to a recent piece by weekly guest Howard Balzer, highlighting how the Cardinals’ long-running carousel of coaching changes has stunted any attempt to build continuity or culture within the franchise. Later, former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson joins the show via the Right Toyota Guest Line to react to Michigan State hiring Pat Fitzgerald, preview what Arizona’s offense must do to survive a tough Texans defense, and identify young Cardinals who could emerge as foundational pieces. The hour closes with a lighthearted Lerner & Rowe “One Call That’s All” centered around Jimmy B’s on-air mix-up with Erik Moses, followed by the State 48 Roofing Question of the Day results and a look at what’s on tap across the sports weekend.
