What Will The Next Round Of Realignment Look Like?
April 05, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBConference realignment. You know it, you love it. But did you know that it's coming again, very soon? Like... very, very, very soon? And that one of the beloved power five conferences is almost certainly going to be left for dead as part of the next set of moves? Well, now you do, because of our most research-intensive episode yet, on conference realignment and the shifting revenue streams that will shape it. If you like the show, please be sure to tell a friend and to leave a five-star re...
Drafting The Best G5 Teams For 2021
March 29, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBWith some more extensive research-based episodes coming up soon, we've got a laid back show this week, based around drafting five G5 programs each that we think will be "good" or even "great" this season. At the end of the season, we're going to tally up points based around the scoring system described in the show, to determine which of us had a better feel for the G5 ranks. I'll be honest, if I lose this one, it's not going to make my G5 newsletter look great. If you like the show, please ...
That's Right Folks, It's A Q&A Show
March 22, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBWe're six episodes in and already out of ideas, which means that it's time to solicit our content from you, the consumer, in the form of our first Q&A show. We'll be doing these once every six weeks or so. Topics range from P5 champions to fixing the Pac-12, with pit stops around winning in bad jobs (read: UMass) and having the bag in a Midwestern state. If you have a question that we either missed (sorry) or that you didn't get to send it, don't fret. Just send a DM to the podcast Twitter ...
Kansas Needs An Identity, Rush Propst Needs His Funny Money
March 15, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBTwo-parter this week. First, we dive deep into the open job at Kansas, throw out a few candidates, and boil this program's flaw down into one major point: it has no identity and hasn't hired a coach that believes in anything in 20 years. Then, we take a look at the extremely funny Rush Propst tapes and talk about the seedy underbelly of college football, which is almost identical to the seedy... overbelly... of college football. If you like the show, please be sure to tell a friend and to ...
Beasts Of The Big East (Feat. Bill Landis)
March 08, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MBBill Landis of The Athletic is Flipping The Field's first guest for a special draft episode. No, not the NFL Draft, which we will never, ever talk about. We're drafting Big East teams. In other terms, the Big East was wonderful, and it's time to bring it back with a three-person, four-team-per-person snake draft to build a team base that fits both the ethos and geography of the original conference. If you like the show, please be sure to tell a friend and to leave a five-star review. As me...
Let's Turn College Football Into English Soccer
March 01, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBIt's a European soccer special, in that we spend an hour trying to fit college football into one of two European soccer ideas: The English soccer fixture, complete with promotion and relegation and the Champions League. Ryan's idea is based loosely around this article from The Athletic, while Patrick's makes frequent reference to this newsletter dispatch from The Outside Zone. If you like the show, please be sure to tell a friend and to leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up to d...
Don't Retread On Me
February 22, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 85.3 MBIn honor of Gus Malzahn taking over at UCF, we take a hard look at the P5-turned-G5 coaching hires of the last 20 years, also known as retreads, to contextualize how often these moves work out. The answer may (read: won't) surprise you! Then, we break down the four programs most like UCF that have made moves like this, and finally, we take a look at the school of the hour itself, and what success would look like under Malzahn. We reference this piece frequently, so feel free to check it out...
To All The Hires We've Loved (And Hated) Before
February 15, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBDespite what the haters and losers said, Ryan Donnelly (@B1G_Ryan) and Patrick Mayhorn (@patrick_mayhorn) have teamed up to prove that white men with beards can, in fact, host a podcast. This podcast is about college football - all of it. We're going to talk about the big boys still, but the idea here is that all of college football deserves love, and it's about time that it got it in the college football podcasting world. In our pilot episode, we open up with some coaching carousel talk, bu...
