About this episode

Arizona State University Defensive Coordinator Brian Ward joins George Wrighster on this week's episode of UnafraidShow! Plus, George's rankings of all 16 Atlantic Coast Conference ACC football teams over the next five years, his take on Nick Saban's comments during the Ted Cruz NIL Roundtable, and George explains why he's more excited for the women's bracket during March Madness than he is for the men's tournament.

George Wrighster ranks all 16 ACC football teams according to success over the next five years. Which west coast team will acclimate better- Stanford or Cal? Why is George worried for Pittsburgh Panthers football, but bullish on NC State? What is holding North Carolina Tarheels football back? Does George think Mario Cristobal can finally turn his high level recruiting into ACC dominance for the Miami Hurricanes football?

Next, George welcomes Arizona State football Defensive Coordinator Brian Ward to the show, where they connect on Ward's background as an amateur boxer. Who is the best quarterback Brian Ward has ever had to prepare for, and what does he think of likely #1 NFL pick Caleb Williams? And what does Brian Ward think it takes to have continuity on defense?

Nick Saban gave some testimony at a Ted Cruz-led roundtable this week that shook up the college football world. George Wrighster weighs in on Nick Saban's comments about how college football has changed, and how to get it back on track. What did Saban get right, and what are Saban's possible blind spots?

And finally, how the brawl between LSU and South Carolina in the women's SEC tournament just adds more gasoline to the raging wildfire of popularity of women's basketball in 2024.
