September 24, 2020 04:52 - 58 minutes - 133 MB

The gang is back...kind of. Introducing a new host, new name game, and...new...news? New news. College football is back, Larry Scott still has managed to keep his job, and Notre Dame is still Notre Lame. Also, if anybody has seen Isaac, we are pretty sure he is still attempting to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon, and he left his cell phone here when he left, so we'd appreciate any update.       Copyright notice: ©Gil Fulbright & RepresentUs. www.honestgil.com; licensed unde...

We're back (and by we, I mean 2 of us) to tell you about some of the stuff going on in the desert wasteland of mid-march college football. In an effort to avoid complete insanity, we also try to build the longest chain of college football rivalries we can, using "rivalry" as loosely as some popular schools do!

Hello, and welcome...to the offseason. There's lukewarm beer and stale pretzels in the corner, and you should've received your complimentary "BTN Bucks" from OBJ on the way in. You can't spend them on anything, and they'll somehow get you in trouble later. Despite the lack of football this week, we're back to talk about the surprising volume of news! Buckle up folks, it's a long ride to August!

January 16, 2020 00:27 - 41 minutes - 34.3 MB

We also discuss some of the most promising bowl match-ups and obviously, some playoff talk. There is a very good chance that we won't be putting an episode out either next weekend or the weekend after as most of us are traveling for the holidays, but we'll do our best!

57. Wisconsin's New QB, Traffic Coan

December 05, 2019 02:29 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

Our deepest apologies for the delay. As promised, we're late for the first (and probably not last) time this holiday season. Buckle in as we talk about some crazy games that happened during rivalry week, why Nick Saban is washed up, and what we expect to see in the conference championship games or as I like to think of them, Round 1 of the Playoffs (for certain schools only, not the G5 ones or most of the P5 ones)!

Join us again as we discuss the ever-spinning coaching carousel, scheduling news, croots, and obviously, football games. I know this is a day behind our normal schedule and I want to preemptively apologize for the rest of the year.

We're back on schedule (for now)! Join us this week as we talk about the most chaotic week of football yet, lament what was so close and could have been, and rejoice in what was! I apologize in advance for a few audio glitches in this one, sometimes the service we use to record does weird things to the tone of our voices.

Hello, and I'm sorry. I apologize in advance for this one, because it's our longest episode yet.
