Happy Friday! It's a Dear Andy & Ari day to close out the week, and the listeners have sent in some excellent questions to start the weekend.

One listener asks, "What kind of run must USA make in the World Cup to top Curt Cignetti's national title run at Indiana?" Andy & Ari dive into this interesting question.
