Harry Lyles Jr. on Upsets & Pac-12, Top 5 Best GameDay Crowds, Atlanta Braves + Crazy Hydration Routines - EP 79

While Golic is still out, Smetty is joined by ESPN Countdown to GameDay host, Sideline Reporter and occasional Around the Horn participant, Harry Lyles Jr.! The two friends reminisce on seeing the SpongeBob SquarePants Broadway musical and are still stunned at the news from earlier in the year about Ethan Slater (SpongeBob) and Ariana Grande. How did a theater kid pull the Princess of Pop? There’s so much drama and it’s not just on stage. Jess gives Harry a platform to talk about the Atlanta Braves and discuss where the team is headed and if they are, in fact, cursed. Are the ’95 World Series to blame? Harry gives his World Series winner prediction before moving on to another exhausting topic – his work schedule. Smetty is shocked at Harry’s extensive hydration plan during his travels for ESPN. Harry gives his Top 5 GameDay atmospheres based off the games he’s been to so far this season. To Smetty’s surprise, Notre Dame is on the list, including Montana State and App State, but who is #1? Jess asks about fair food at the Red River Rivalry, but more shocking to Lyles was Harry Douglas’ unusual breakfast choice. Harry recaps his experience at the Oregon v Washington game. The pair discusses Dan Lanning’s decision making, the rest of the Ducks and Huskies season schedules and which one is more likely to make it to the playoffs. Jess asks Harry which football game has had the most insane ending so far, his thoughts on the Deion Sanders hype, where Georgia stands for him, and of course, we couldn’t end the pod without talking about Notre Dame’s HUGE win over USC.
