11:40 a.m. — Jared Stansbury dropping in with three thoughts on Iowa State football 48 hours before the Camping World Bowl.
NOTE: Today will be the quietest day so far in Orlando with very little media availability this morning and practice being closed. Matt Campbell and Brian Kelly will hold their press conference tomorrow plus we will have our staff picks. I will also be recording a special edition of Football (And Random Things) with Jeff Woody after the podcast so it should be a busier day for content than today.
