Talking Season officially arrived on Tuesday with the commencement of Big 12 Media Days in Las Vegas. It\u2019s caught the attention of some around the college football world, but most fans are more focused on College Football \u201925<\/em>, the highly-anticipated video game hitting shelves in ten days. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s making headlines regularly now, but a few months ago the biggest story about the game was the absence of Texas\u2019 backup quarterback. That sounds ridiculous when put that way, but the Manning name carries weight. <\/p>\n

Arch Manning<\/a><\/strong> initially declined the option to be included in the game. The former five-star made the decision instead to stay \u201cfocused on playing football on the field.\u201d That sounds like a load of crap, right? Well, it was. <\/p>\n

Today Manning revealed he will in fact be a part of College Football \u201925 by rolling out a video with his uncle, Eli Manning. <\/p>\n

Why wait until now to opt in? It was a wise negotiation tactic by the Mannings. On3\u2019s Pete Nakos<\/a> reports the youngest Manning was compensated between $50-$60,000 to promote the game for EA Sports. Life is all about leverage and Arch Manning used his to cash in. <\/p>\n

An Appropriate Memoriam<\/h2>\n

Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State<\/a> sucked up most of the oxygen at Big 12 Media Days, but one character who wasn\u2019t there also sent shockwaves across the palatial grounds. <\/p>\n

Look what you\u2019ve done @KStateFB<\/a> <\/p>\n

RIP<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Mark Stoops!<\/h2>\n

Mark Stoops is celebrating his 57th birthday a little more than a week before he takes the podium at SEC Media Days for the 12th time. The winningest coach in the history of Kentucky football will be the most seasoned veteran at the event as the longest-tenured coach in the league. Do we think he will come home for the trip to the Lone Star State? <\/p>\n

@kentuckysportsradio<\/a> Is it time for Mark Stoops to shave his head? #bbn<\/a> #sec<\/a> \u266c original sound \u2013 KSR<\/a> <\/p>\n

Kentucky Football Q&A<\/h2>\n

You got questions. We got answers. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will be 52 days away from the start of the 2024 Kentucky football season. It\u2019s not exactly a milestone in the countdown to kickoff, but who cares? The KSR football staff will be answering BBN\u2019s questions about the upcoming team on KSBoard<\/a> beginning at Noon. We\u2019ll see you there. <\/p>\n

Join KSR Plus! With a KSR Plus membership, you get access to bonus content and KSBoard, KSR\u2019s message board, to chat with fellow Cats fans and get exclusive scoop.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This Looks Incredible<\/h2>\n

Allow me to take a brief pause on the football content to talk a little cinema. After watching this week\u2019s House of the Dragon<\/em>, I\u2019ve caught a fever for more intense action, and boy, does Gladiator II <\/em>appear to fit the billing. I\u2019m typically not a fan of sequels decades after the original, but this looks incredible. Boats in the Coliseum? Denzel Washington. Pedro Pascal?!?! I need it and I need it now!<\/p>\n
