KFKA sports talk host Brady Hull joins Joel and Mike for a wide-ranging discussion about CSU athletics and the future of the Pac-12. With the Rams sitting at 2-3 following three straight losses, the guys assess Jim Mora's first five games, the historically bad defense, and whether new defensive play-caller Kenny McClendon can turn things around. They also preview Thursday's challenging road matchup at Texas State and debate what it will take for CSU to get back on track. Plus, is the new Pac-12 living up to its promise of becoming the nation's fifth-best conference? The trio examines the league's expansion strategy, television deal, competitive standing and long-term outlook before wrapping up with Brady's insights from a recent CSU men's basketball fundraiser and expectations for the upcoming season.
