The Time Is Now | #104

In Episode 104 of The 411 From 406, Chewie and Pip are back with one of their most packed episodes yet. The Indiana Hoosiers are Big Ten Champions and the #1 team in the nation, and we break down what this historic season means heading into the College Football Playoff. We dig into the bracket, potential matchups, and why IU is playing with house money. From there, we tackle Notre Dame opting out of bowl season and whether the decision is fair, foolish, or simply the result of a broken system. We also discuss Michigan’s latest chaos, what it means for the program long-term, and how quickly things can unravel in college football. On the pro side, we touch on the Colts’ quarterback situation and the very real possibility of Philip Rivers returning — somehow — once again. We close the episode talking WWE and the end of an era, as John Cena prepares for his final match, what his retirement actually means, and why doing it once — and doing it right — matters.
