Introduction: Meet Brian Stone and Zeke Palermo

00:00:16
Speaker
Welcome back, everybody. It is Warm Weather Fans, the Sunbelt Podcast. My name is Brian Stone, joined once again by Zeke Palermo. We're here to preview week seven in the Sunbelt.

Thursday Night Game Preview: Southern Miss vs. Georgia Southern

00:00:27
Speaker
The night this is coming out, or the day, I guess, this is coming out Thursday. We will have our first Thursday night game between Southern Miss and Georgia Southern. um Zeke, Southern Miss is a two-and-a-half-point road favorite.
00:00:44
Speaker
I've got to say, i agree. there's not a lot to say that's positive at this point about Georgia Southern. I feel like I've made my opinion and stances on the way that they play football very clear at this point.
00:00:57
Speaker
um Is there a way, is there a way that you see Georgia Southern giving them a game or like coming close or even winning this game? Is there what, what has to happen for that to happen?

Keys to Victory for Georgia Southern and Southern Miss

00:01:09
Speaker
I think what has to happen for a Georgia State win is โ€“ Southern. or i'm so That's twice in two weeks I've made that. Georgia's Southern win is โ€“ we need to see the JC French that we have seen in the past. Granted, they've been very short one-game blips where he looks like he could have been.
00:01:32
Speaker
um i had him in the preseason as one of the best quarterbacks in the conference. I really did. um So that's going to obviously be the the big, big key in Southern taking a win is quarterback play.
00:01:45
Speaker
But that's lazy. That's the case all the time. The other case, and we're looking back to Southern Miss' loss to Louisiana Tech a couple weeks ago. ah The other key is just going to be โ€“ ah stopping the Southern Miss run game.
00:02:00
Speaker
they They don't have a ton of weapons in that run game, but they run the ball well. They run the ball efficiently. And as we saw with Louisiana Tech game, when you force Braylon Braxton into a position where um he can go, for example, against Louisiana Tech, he threw the ball 47 times.
00:02:18
Speaker
He threw for almost 400 yards on 47 attempts. ah Did a great job. Handled it very, very well. ah But you need to put the burden on Braxton early so that he has to feel that. I mean, he's mobile, but he has...
00:02:33
Speaker
he has Turned it down a little bit this year, a little less intentionally mobile, um plays in structure a little bit more. um So you don't see him putting up the Jalen Rayner, Colton Joseph type numbers um on the ground, even though he's in that same stratosphere of quarterback within the conference.
00:02:52
Speaker
Um, so those are really the keys to the game is stopping the run game and forcing this to become a Southern miss. Hey, throw the ball, make Braylon Braxton make plays because he doesn't have a ton of guys around him that can continue to make plays. He's got guys that are capable of catching the ball, but they're not, you know, world beaters.
00:03:10
Speaker
Uh, and then offensively it's JC French. Hey, do you want to show up buddy? Um, and honestly, same thing with the Southern run game. It's like, Oh, Jay Arnold, we know you're not Jalen white, but do you want to do something?
00:03:22
Speaker
Yeah. Also, he has had games where he has shown up ah just last week was like like I said at the time, like just a it was a total failure from like the whole team level. Like there was nothing they didn't do anything well, really, against JMU.
00:03:40
Speaker
I think the best way for Georgia Southern to win this game is fire Clay Helton.
00:03:48
Speaker
I don't know that either of the the inter interim options would be would be able to beat them either. um i think the way... I agree to... I agree, and to kind of expand on your point about how Southern Miss could possibly lose this game, it's the run game continues to be inefficient.
00:04:07
Speaker
I bring it up almost every week. They haven't had a 100-yard rusher yet this season. ah The closest they got, I think, was last week. Jeffrey Pittman had like 88 yards, I think, he finished with. So...
00:04:18
Speaker
continue like funneling this inefficient run game. You know, Georgia Southern's got about the stone worst, uh, run defense in the FBS. But again, Southern Miss has been a bad running team this season. They haven't had their AJ Turner, you know, answer version come out.
00:04:39
Speaker
Uh, they've had like a lot of guys take snaps, but no, nobody's really broke out or like done anything of value really. Um, Yeah, I think it's kind of what you said. It's like, just play contain on Braylon Braxton, make him stay in the pocket, ah throw to these guys, because there's... the The weapons that they had at Marshall around him last year were better with like Fitzpatrick, the receiver, and and again, AJ Turner, and like you know Ethan Payne, Toby Payne, like all these guys could play.
00:05:11
Speaker
And this year, it's kind of like a grab bag of... like Who shows up this week? It's a little bit like app in that way where it's like, you know that there are some talent on the roster, but you don't know who necessarily is going to be the guy that shows up.
00:05:24
Speaker
Yeah. To your point, six guys on Southern Miss this year have at least 10 receptions um and their yardage numbers range from 224 to 62. yeah So there's no, there's not a high volume guy in this offense, but they spread the ball very well. There are a lot of guys that are capable of making plays, but there's no one that's going to, there is no Ja'Cory, or Corey Rucker, not Ja'Cory, there's no Corey Rucker, there's no Ted Hurst in this offense.
00:05:52
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I know Georgia Southern plays better at home, but i this this season has just been such a disaster so far.
00:06:04
Speaker
like Your wins are over Maine and Jacksonville State. like Who cares? um i I don't know. like i Like you said, I think their best shot is that they fire Clay Hilton and bring in another coach before Thursday hits.
00:06:18
Speaker
I think it's the best way for them to win this game. Well, got five days as we record it. Best of luck.

James Madison vs. Louisiana: What to Expect?

00:06:25
Speaker
it's It's not going to matter. ah ah Okay, so starting on Saturday at noon, James Madison is bouncing back, I guess you could say, from its win slash performance against Georgia State last weekend.
00:06:40
Speaker
They're going to take on Louisiana, who the last we saw, Lynch Winfield leading a game-winning ah drive. is there any shot that Lunt shows up and is just, just overwhelms JMU and like Alonzo Barnett continues to struggle? Like, is there any world in which that happens?
00:07:02
Speaker
I mean, there's certainly a world. i don't think the, the, playbook or the blueprint for Louisiana win is necessarily lunch running Buck Wild.
00:07:13
Speaker
um But as because JMU, for context, coming off of a 14-7 loss, or win, I'm sorry. It felt like a loss. It felt like a loss win over Georgia State. ah You put up 14 points against what was going into the game, the worst defense in college football or in FBS football.
00:07:33
Speaker
um And so the recipe is not necessarily telling lunch to, hey, we need another, like, go throw for four and run for two type performance. you need another James Madison crap the bed. This is not a Louisiana defense that is um going to force that.
00:07:49
Speaker
Kind of like Georgia State got the benefit of it was a bad Alonzo Barnett night, and therefore the offense just wasn't clicking. That's what you're really counting on ah in terms of stopping Louisiana.
00:08:00
Speaker
But if you can get that, if you can hold louisiana to twenty or James Madison twenty one points twenty four points What we saw from lunch, I'm really excited to see him get a full game of snaps and see if it wasn't a flash in the pan. I hope not. I really don't think so. He looked really, really good. It was not a, oh, we're not we don't know who this guy is. We don't know that he's mobile.
00:08:23
Speaker
this was just Two weeks ago, he just he was really, really good. um I think James Madison wins this one fairly comfortably. But if Alonzo Barnett goes out, completes only 50% of his passes again,
00:08:36
Speaker
Lunch, if he scores three touchdowns, that might be enough. See, i I think personally, you're in the i think you're in the right neighborhood as far as what the final score would be.
00:08:47
Speaker
But for me, I would say ah Louisiana win looks like 17-14 Louisiana. And JMU, Alonzo Barnett it continues to like sail passes and throw them behind guys and just not really give his guys a chance to even make a play on on some of these throws.
00:09:04
Speaker
And they're one-dimensional team and all they can do is run the ball. Yeah. I think that's the way that Louisiana has to win. You basically have to just hope that Barnett continues to be like off schedule and Chesney won't give Sluka a chance to throw the football.
00:09:20
Speaker
So even if he comes in for some snaps, you know, it's going to be a run or a handoff. So I don't know. well why I think more more likely than not it is that JMU just comes out with a vengeance, yeah makes up for the points they didn't score last week and puts up 54 on UL.
00:09:40
Speaker
um I think a loss, you know, a loss is bad, but this could be a good loss for Louisiana. They can still perform well and lose this game. Yeah.
00:09:51
Speaker
but I think JMU takes this one pretty easy. They're tied for first in the West, officially, before okay this game happens. I mean, they're 1-0 in the conference. you know They're at the top of the standings for the West. I don't know. Yeah, so is Troy.

Appalachian State vs. Georgia State: A Clash in Atlanta

00:10:06
Speaker
Trying to put a nice a nice spin on this for as long as I can. ah All right, three thirty You've got Appalachian State taking on Georgia State. This is in Atlanta, um where offenses go to die, question mark.
00:10:20
Speaker
ah So... Again, JMU played there last Saturday and looked really, really poor overall. You've got App now coming in with this new quarterback, J.J. Cole, who we saw for the first time really play a full complement of snaps on Saturday.
00:10:35
Speaker
I comped him to Ryan Mallett like at Arkansas just because Mallett was also a really tall quarterback who kind of had all those same features. um App is a three-and-a-half-point road favorite.
00:10:48
Speaker
Yeah. Zeke, what are you hoping to, what, who do you hope wins this quarterback competition with Georgia state? Like who do you ultimately want to see take all the snaps?
00:10:59
Speaker
Yeah. what what i I want to see Cameron Brown. um hes He's just younger. he's i From what I hear and from what I understand in the small sample size we've seen, and it's tough because you're not getting a lot of consecutive drives in a row to really string together your're your kind of understanding and your evaluation.
00:11:20
Speaker
I hope Cameron Brown wins it, but from what I'm gathering, โ€“ TJ Finley took almost all the snaps last week. Cameron Brown came in situationally, almost like in like the Sluka-type role where when they finally gave up on running just two quarterbacks, it was...
00:11:39
Speaker
excuse me, TJ Finley, or I'm sorry, it was Alonzo Barnett, and then, hey, Matthew Sluka, we want to run a read option today. yeah Go have fun. So I want it to be Cameron Brown, but with every passing day, with every passing game, that seems less and less likely.
00:11:55
Speaker
um But i I want to see them commit to him full-time because at one and four, especially after the real, real, just absolute letdown that was holding James Madison to 14 points, but an inability to score, but one touchdown.
00:12:10
Speaker
um um I'd like us to start, as you've talked about before, why don't, Why doesn't Georgia Southern in previous years just like get put the young guys in, the guys that you know are going to be here next year, the guys that you know how you you brought in to be different makers difference makers down the line?
00:12:27
Speaker
um it' ah Cameron Brown has already used his red shirt, so it's like what's what's what's the angle here? um That's what I hope at the quarterback position, but I'm not very hopeful. I don't know if Del McGee slash shoot the Hugh Jackson Del McGee combo feel is this the same way, but Helton's Achilles heel with that as always, he's just loyal to a fault to where like the Davis Brin thing two years ago where he just kept hitting his head against a concrete wall and was like,
00:12:56
Speaker
no, this is going to change. This is going to... And it's like, dude, it's not getting any better. I don't know if Dale McGee's that same way where he's just like, I have my guy and I'm going to stick with him. And I mean, I guess you could say he you know he brought him in, obviously.
00:13:09
Speaker
And like he wasn't officially on the roster, but people knew he was like around the team and stuff. So... I don't know. Maybe he just feels like I campaigned to get this guy and now I'm kind of required to play him.
00:13:21
Speaker
Like, ah I mean, I'll tell you, no matter which way you cut it it doesn't matter if it's TJ Finley. It doesn't matter if it's Cameron Brown. doesn't matter if we bring Christian Valera back from the dead. um the The quarterback is very much alive.
00:13:36
Speaker
Doesn't play like it. Um, It doesn't poor quarterback plays. Not what's holding this team back. Um, I do think it's poor coaching. I think it's certainly from a player perspective and inability to run the ball, a lack of rushing talent, a lack of offensive line talent, uh, is really what's holding this team back because we've seen across this conference. You don't need a quarterback to win football games.
00:13:59
Speaker
You don't need a quarterback to at least be competitive. Um, And so, look, TJ Finley, four touchdowns, three interceptions on the year. He's clearly not the guy.
00:14:10
Speaker
um And maybe he's not even good enough to win those types of games. But when your leading rusher on the year has 195 yards, there's a bigger problem than quarterback here.
00:14:21
Speaker
Yeah. And then on the offensive line side, you mentioned this on the last episode. They have a crazy number of false starts, like those types of offensive line centric penalties, right? Like holdings and stuff like that. They're the most penalized team in all of college football, yeah in all of FBS.

Old Dominion vs. Marshall: Strategies and Predictions

00:14:37
Speaker
And in last week's loss to James Madison, seven of 15 penalties were false starts or other like pre-snap type of things. That's nuts. um Yeah, hopefully they can figure that out. ah Another 330 kick.
00:14:53
Speaker
Old Dominion is traveling to Huntington to play at the Joan. ah They're taking on the thundering herd of Marshall. Yeah. Marshall played in that overtime game two weeks ago with Louisiana that we saw where ultimately Louisiana outlasted them.
00:15:08
Speaker
ah We talked about on our last time that we discussed Marshall, um the the low depth of target that Carlos Del Rio Wilson keeps and how it kind of limits what they're able to do on the offensive side of the ball.
00:15:22
Speaker
I don't think it's really going to matter against old dominion. Cause I think ultimately old dominion is just a more talented team, like all the way around. I think even if he can, I think if they're in for a really bad time offensively, if he keeps throwing the it as short as he does, because they're going to see that on tape and know, like, we just got to take, play the flats and like, it'll work itself out.
00:15:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think something that we might see this week for the first time out of Marshall, because if you look at their schedule, they were neck and neck with Louisiana. ah They walk MTSU. They walk EKU.
00:15:58
Speaker
ah They lose, but in a close one to Missouri State and then the blowout loss to Georgia. Save for that Georgia game, Marshall has not really been in a position where they needed to push the ball downfield.
00:16:09
Speaker
I think they're going to be put in that position pretty quickly against Old Dominion. I said it ah in the episode that came out earlier this week. I was wrong about the Old Dominion offense and about the weapons that it has.
00:16:20
Speaker
And obviously, obviously, it all starts with this guy that's Colton Joseph, who will probably end up winning, almost certainly win conference player of the year. The dude is just absolutely electric. And so because of that, I think we're going to see Marshall have to push the ball downfield more quickly.
00:16:35
Speaker
And I think that will expose a lot of the inefficiencies of Carlos Del Rio Wilson, who on paper is performing really well, very efficient, does not turn the ball over, um does well in the pocket, does well under pressure.
00:16:48
Speaker
um But, What we're seeing on tape and what we're seeing through kind of more of the advanced numbers, the PFF stuff, we're seeing that it's because it's check down, check down, check down. It's behind the line. It's screen type stuff.
00:17:00
Speaker
And he's not been challenged offensively. And again, I don't think it's going to matter much against Old Dominion. I mean, I think they're, again, right there, you know, next to JMU is like the most complete team. Like they play defense.
00:17:16
Speaker
They held, you know, Liberty as bad as Liberty has been. They held them to seven points. It was like, you know, they did they barely let Coastal score last week. Like it they can play defense right up there with the best of them. So I'm just like,
00:17:31
Speaker
I don't even think it necessarily matters. Like you could ask Del Rio Wilson to push the ball further down the field. And I, I think that increases the chances of him making a mistake throwing the football. yeah Um, so I, I, I ultimately, I think the, the talent and the lack of defense on the Marshall side of things are just too much to kind of overcome for them.
00:17:51
Speaker
Um, Old Dominion is a 14 and a half point favorite. I don't know if I mentioned that before we started talking about it, but ah another one here, seven o'clock. UL Monroe is traveling to Conway to take on coastal Carolina. UL M is a two and a half point road favorite.

Coastal Carolina's Struggles and Key Issues

00:18:06
Speaker
It feels like coastal outside of the South Alabama game has just kind of thrown the towel in on this season. I don't, I don't know. Like last week was against old Dominion was just kind of not even trying like, yeah,
00:18:19
Speaker
it it's it's all the way bad in ah in Conway right now. It's bad times. Yeah, ah and whereas with Yule Monroe, it felt like they're equally bad blowout loss. Both teams lost ah ah forty two to seven for Monroe losing to Northwestern and then 47-7 to Old Dominion for Coastal.
00:18:39
Speaker
ah Whereas Coastal was an all-around bad performance. ah Monroe, offensively, this is being only offensively, the defense is another issue, but offensively, Uh, really it was just, Hey, they cracked the code. How do you stop and make Aiden Armenta make plays? Kind of like what we're probably going to see Old Dominion do to Marshall next week.
00:18:59
Speaker
It's make Aiden Armenta fall behind the chains, fall behind schedule, make Louisiana Monroe go behind early so that the war hack Warhawks have to play catch up and can't rely on their good run game.
00:19:11
Speaker
Now, defensively, that's a whole other thing, right? This was a good defense that really got exposed last week. I think you get that's not going to be an issue. That's not going to come into play because of the deficiencies Coastal has.
00:19:23
Speaker
i don't think Tad Hudson is the guy that's going to make you pay because you have like a corner that you can't play or you know for whatever whatever reason your A-gap is super weak. like Even when they beat South Alabama, he didn't play well.
00:19:36
Speaker
No, no. He's not had a single performance that I can remember that I was like, oh, this is this was a good game by him. it's all It's been bad all the way around. Yeah, and so for that reason, I think the deficiencies that we saw or the the picking a apart of that defense that we saw from Northwestern isn't going to come into play really at all in this game.
00:19:57
Speaker
ah For ULM, however, as you look forward at the rest of the schedule, you look at Troy, you look at Southern Miss, you look at Old Dominion, all games coming up pretty soon. You get Texas State later in the season.
00:20:09
Speaker
You're going to have to figure that out, sort those out before those games. Teams that can take an advantage of ah whatever deficiencies it is you have. But Tad Hudson's not going to do that.
00:20:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. he He's not taking advantage, like i said, of any of these defenses. Like, again, they played South Alabama and they won. He was fine.
00:20:34
Speaker
Like, passable. Like, literally bare like making a D on a test. Like, literally barely passing. His best performance this year, I guess it depends on what metric you're looking at.
00:20:47
Speaker
um From a completion percentage... passing yards. Right. Most passing yards is 172 a 38-0 loss with two interceptions. his highest qbr um Well, it was actually when he went three for five against Charlotte Southern um or Charleston Southern.
00:21:03
Speaker
But in a full game, it was two weeks ago against South Alabama when he was 13 for 25 for 112. That's what I mean is like he can't even complete. He's completing nearly half of his passes in a win.
00:21:17
Speaker
So, I mean, it's just that's not sustainable and and you're not going to play any other teams like South Alabama, you know? So, yeah. Yeah, I think you will Monroe, despite their kind of offensive deficiencies and the way that their defense showed up last week, I don't think they're going to have any problems with coastal. Like I think coastal have enough has enough problems with coastal as far as like figuring out how to get the ball from the quarterback to the receiver.
00:21:44
Speaker
Um, All right, last game here, 8

Troy vs. Texas State: Quarterbacks and Strategies

00:21:47
Speaker
o'clock. We've got Troy traveling to San Marcos to play Texas State. Texas State coming off of that heartbreaker loss to Arkansas State last Saturday.
00:21:56
Speaker
ah Troy coming off of back-to-back victories. Texas State's a 10.5-point home favorite. Do you think there's any way that Troy Kilcrease continues to run with the football?
00:22:08
Speaker
He and Brad Jackson just look like mirror images of each other throughout this game. And maybe they just replay what happened last week with the Arkansas State. Like Troy just scores late and steals it that way. Like, um I'm just trying to come up with a scenario.
00:22:25
Speaker
I think it's certainly possible, but I think that would require an effort from Tucker Kilcrease that we've never seen in his career. Yeah, that's true. Because Jalen, I mean, Jalen Rayner really, we talked about it in our episode um that we just recorded and published earlier this week. Yeah.
00:22:46
Speaker
What? You were just like, you were like oh, we just recorded it. But you had to stop a week. When did we record it? We just recorded it. I was trying to figure out how to say that it came out earlier this week because, again, we record these on the same night. So it's like right like this it came out earlier. But for you and me, this was 20 minutes ago. was just funny how you stopped to say that we just recorded it I don't know. We just recorded this episode. um But, I mean, Jalen Rayner played, i mean, with, like, the efficiency and game command of, like, a prime Tom Brady, but with the agility and the ah elusivity out of structure ah potential of, like, a Patrick Mahomes at his best.
00:23:30
Speaker
Obviously, you know, he's obviously not that level, but in terms of the poise that he showed late in that game, It was one of the best, I said this, one of the best quarterback, one of the best quarterback drives, one of the best quarterback performances in the second half of that game that I've seen in a long time, especially from this conference.
00:23:48
Speaker
Tucker Kilcrease doesn't have that in him. He's good. He's good. He can move. um he He can complete passes. ah But he does not have that in him. And that's what it took for Arkansas state to beat Texas state.
00:24:02
Speaker
Well, Troy in Troy's defense, they can run the ball a bit more with pay Meadows than Arkansas state can with any of their cadre of, uh, runners, AKA it's just Jalen Rayner and his legs. Like they don't,
00:24:17
Speaker
they they literally like you said like clay operates as like a satellite back out of the backfield he's better in space catching passes he's basically a receiver that just lines up next to rainer um and then spencer is not nothing really to to write home about i mean ah we say it all the time but like they lost jaquez cross that's basically the running game in a nutshell right there ah I don't know, man. i Like I said, the only the only scenario I can think of is that they Texas State falls asleep like they did on Saturday for like three quarters, and then they make it to where it's just whoever so outscores the other team in the fourth quarter wins the game. It's like the only way that I can see kind of Troy...
00:25:01
Speaker
taking it because Jackson's a good runner. He's not the best passer I've ever seen, but he can, he can, he's very fast. Uh, kill crease can run. I think they're a little bit like you said, like, or I guess I said, I can't remember, but mirror images of each other just as quarterbacks, they're kind of the exact same guy.
00:25:19
Speaker
Yeah, they play similar games. I think Brad Jackson plays that game a little better. um But also you have to consider that Tucker Kilcrease had to rely on Goose Crowder going down to even get to this position. um Yeah.
00:25:34
Speaker
and actually lost the job late last year to Matthew Caldwell, who we've seen how that turned out for them and is working for them. Who might be starting at Texas before long because, because Arch people, people are like going to drag Arch ah off of campus to get him away from that football team.
00:25:53
Speaker
Yeah, I can see a world where Troy can win this football game. They really, really can, especially how well they've played the last, like, I guess if it goes back to really only the fourth quarter against Buffalo, because if you'll remember, they pitched a shutout and scored 21 points in the fourth quarter against Buffalo to come back and win and then played a good game against South Alabama. Took it to overtime, probably shouldn't have gone to overtime against South Al, realistically, but you've played five really good quarters of football back to back to back to back to back.
00:26:23
Speaker
um And so if Texas State falls asleep early or or or on on the alternative puts their points up early and then falls asleep as we've seen them also do, um Troy can come out with this one, but i I like Texas State as the favorite here.
00:26:39
Speaker
I do too.

Conclusion: Social Media Shoutouts and Final Thoughts

00:26:40
Speaker
I think they're going to be kind of chomping at the bit after the way that they blew ah the game against Arkansas State, who no offense to Arkansas State. We've very in detail talked about their deficiencies and like why they have a ah hard ceiling on their kind of season. So to to lose to a team of that caliber who can literally turn around and lose to anyone is is tough for ah Texas State.

Speaker
um But that basically does it. Those are all of the Sunbelt games this week. Zeke, let everybody know where they can find you on socials. Yeah, man, you can find me on Twitter at Zeke Palermo, Z-E-K-E-P-A-L-E-R-M-O. If you go follow me there, please answer the question I posed.
00:27:20
Speaker
Why the hell are assisted tackles counted as a full tackle when summing someone's total tackles? If I have five assisted and five solo, I have ten total tackles.
00:27:31
Speaker
But we don't count the same sacks the same way. If you have three assisted sacks, you only have one and a half. Further proof of something that I've pushed and will continue to push as long as I have a platform that tackles are a bogus number.
00:27:45
Speaker
So go follow me on there. Let me know what you think. Why do we have this set up and why is it used to determine the value of linebackers who, if you get a hand on, if you're the second guy to put a hand on him, you have a full new tackle.
00:28:00
Speaker
I think they're just like too lazy to like go back through the footage and make sure that everyone is adequately ah compensated. So they're just like, eh, close enough. He was around the pile, assisted.
00:28:13
Speaker
I know that that like grinds your gears, but I think that's what it is. I hate it. I think it's just laziness, honestly. ah You can follow the show on ah on Twitter at watch ah Warm Weather Fans. You can follow me at WatchTheStone.
