Today begins the glorious time of year when we are blessed with 49 straight days of football. May this holy season bring you joy.

Lololololol

Delay of game and then you follow with a WR screen to burn your only TO? Woof.

I’m told there’s an audio glitch in the episode where our outro song starts playing midway through the show.

I’ll fix that this evening when I get home from work.

Down go the mighty Commodores... no, seriously. Also, what in the world is happening at Penn State? Is Texas actually good? Maybe this is actually Miami's year?...

Y’all already know what we’re talking about this week.

Bama rides a dominant 2nd half to a revenge win over Vandy (still feels weird to say), Florida drowns the Horns in the Swamp, and Penn State suffers one of the worst losses of our lifetime.

Other stuff, too. Put your ears on it.

Oh hey y’all, started a new job today so totally didn’t do our usual Monday episode reminder.

This week we talk the Tide rolling in Athens, big wins from Oregon and Ole Miss, the end of the Sam Pittman and Mike Gundy eras, some NFL, MLB, WNBA and more.

Hugh Freeze, offensive mastermind.

This has been an absolutely outstanding night of college football.

Big 12, baby

Oof, bad returner, don't play hero ball.

TCU defender gets facemasked while tackling the RB by his sleeve... and gets flagged for a horsecollar?

Christ officiating is so bad right now.

Takin’ On Sports @takinonsports.bsky.social · 15d

It's an awkward listen, for sure.

"THE OFFICIALS ARE WRONG IT WAS CLEARLY TOUCHED THE ROTATION DRASTICALLY CHANGED!"

*replay shows the ball was not touched, the rotation obviously does not change*

"SEE I WAS RIGHT"

God Tim Brando is an obnoxious twat.

We appreciate Auburn and Oklahoma State for waiting until after our usual recording time to break their coaching news. That way when we come back this weekend it’s appropriately timed.

Holy shit the SEC did the right thing and gave Bama Auburn, Tennessee, and State.

Reminder that there’s no show this week while @td2kool.bsky.social is out of town.

Whole lotta gamblers pissed off at Oregon after that series. Line 34.5, lead is 34.

This week we talk a lot of football, obviously. Because it’s football season. Specifically, we cover Alabama, A&M’s grand theft in South Bend, Florida’s terrible night, UGA finally looking like UGA, and more.

Ugly series after that great catch, though. Dropped pass, false start, dropped pass, sack. Woof.

The Ravens strategy of signing DeAndre Hopkins to make one Grown Man Catch per week is paying off so far.

I know UCLA has been bad, but what exactly have they put into the program? Foster is clearly a scapegoat for a program that clearly doesn't care to invest that much into football.
