This we week we have a chill episode…
Yeah, right. We talk about the mess in Ann Arbor, the end of an era in Salt Lake City, and why reporters are lazy when it comes to Kalen DeBoer.
We also look ahead to the CFP’s 1st round, talk NFL, Bama hoops, John Cena, and more.

This shit is tiring.
Greg Byrne is not firing anyone after 2 seasons, he’s not an idiot.
As for “DeBoer feeling the pressure” - that’s what he signed up for, that’s what he wanted when he CHOSE to replace Nick Saban.

Sherrone Moore's exit opens up the top job at one of college football’s most storied programs, and at an unusual point in the postseason calendar.
Who could replace him at Michigan?
@brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social's top candidates ⤵️

Show is up, and we maybe might just talk a little tiny bit about the CFP bracket. Specifically, why Notre Dame can kick rocks, what it means for the future, and acknowledging that Alabama both deserved and didn't deserve a spot. Other things, too.

NFL catch rules are just the dumbest thing.

First half story is UGA wants it bad and Bama... well I'm not sure if they're not motivated or just tired, but either way that's as flat a team as I've seen all year.
Time for DeBoer to show what kind of in-game coach he is.

I cannot stress how much I do not like this man.
"Why? You're an Alabama fan and he's just doing what's best for the SEC???"
No, he's doing what's best for his bank account, plain and simple. If he gets his way we'll have a 40-team NFL Lite and college football will be officially dead.

Since we recorded, UCLA hired Bob Chesney away from James Madison, Kentucky fired Mark Stoops and hired Oregon OC Will Stein to replace him, and now this.
Yet, Penn State still doesn’t have a coach.

Gee, I wonder what we spend most of our time talking about on this week’s show?
Another Iron Bowl heart attack, Kalen DeBoer’s big ol’ watermelon sized balls, Rivalry Week, the Lane Train leaves Oxford for Baton Rouge and sets the coaching carousel in motion, Championship week, NFL, and more.

We discussed all of the conference title game scenarios on this week's show, so let's see how everything is going.
ACC: Miami won, but still needs a lot of help to get in. UVA and SMU just need to win.
American: UNT is in, Tulane is in and hosts with a win. Navy won and needs Tulane to lose.

We don’t typically like to talk about the CFP rankings this early, but after this week’s rankings and the comments by Hunter Yurachek, I think we’re gonna have to take a few minutes on them this week.

We did record last night, but I didn’t get editing finished. Unfortunately I’ll be on the road today, so won’t get the show post until later tonight.
We talk a frustrating Bama loss, conference races, rare good news for our NBA teams, and more.

The fact that Nebraska/UCLA is a conference game is just disgusting.
A big ole middle finger to everyone involved in making that happen.

This week we revel in the stress free environment of a bye week. Topics: the ESPN/YouTube TV mess, the end of the Hugh Freeze era, some Saturday upsets, Arch’s best game, State gets an SEC win (!), a weekend of superb QB performances in the NFL, a great World Series, and more.

Before y’all get mad at YouTube for this Disney thing, remember that ESPN just dropped a subscription service - this is 100% a move to try to get you to drop YTTV and fork over $$$ directly to Disney/ESPN. Also worth remembering the ESPN is objectively shitty.
