  • Reminder: The BCS Was Crap
    Dec 23 2024

    A relatively short affair for us this week, as we focus mostly on the first round of the CFP. We also take time to tell a lot of whiny college football fans to shut up and enjoy the sport they claim to love, and remind them that the BCS was not actually all that great. We also cover an important weekend in the NFL, and opine on our favorite Christmas movies.

  • Not Even Santa Can Help Alabama Now
    Dec 9 2024

    Is the College Football Playoff really the College Football Playoff is Alabama isn't involved? We ponder that question, as well as go over the inaugural 12-team CFP field, give our thoughts on the teams involved and where they're seeded, the first round matchups and potential matchups down the road, who got a good draw (Georgia) and who got the shaft (Oregon, Tennessee... and Notre Dame?), and a whole lot of other playoff this and that. Then we look back at our preseason predictions and see how we did, which, surprisingly, wasn't half-bad.

    We also cover a good week for Bama hoops and SEC basketball as a whole, have a quick NFL chat, and some other stuff.

    Dec 2 2024

    It took two decades, but we finally have recompense for our terrible Iron Bowl experiences as students. Along with reveling in that Alabama victory, we talk Ohio State's losing streak to Michigan, that crazy Georgia/Georgia Tech game (and once again why the overtime format is terrible), Miami's crushing loss, the wild and wonderful Big 12, if teams like Bama and Miami feel playoff-worthy, and all that fighting. that was going on this weekend. We also cover next week's championship schedule, Justin Tucker's miserable year, a busy week for Bama hoops, and a lot more.

  • Maybe The CFB 25 Sim Engine Isn't That Unrealistic After All
    Nov 25 2024

    We were gonna record an episode, but then we decided not to show up. No, wait, that was Alabama at Oklahoma. Along with that wonderful display of football, we talk about the rest of a crazy weekend on both the college and pro gridiron, what that means for various conference and playoff races, and what to look forward to as Rivalry Week descends upon us. We also cover a good win for Bama hoops, with a big week ahead of them. There also NBA chat, but that's less fun.

  • According To Tiebreakers, We're Also In The Mix To Make The SEC Championship
    Nov 18 2024

    This week we cover some moving and shaking in the standings in both the college and pro game. Georgia keeps their championship hopes alive with a win over Tennessee in Athens, BYU goes down for the first time this season, Florida takes down LSU, and all of a sudden Alabama is in line to make the SEC Championship. In the NFL, the Bills knock the Chiefs from the ranks of the unbeaten, Pittsburgh gets a big win over Baltimore, the Eagles keep rolling, and the NFC West is the Big 12 of Sundays. We also talk about the impressive start by the Cavs, a new home for Inside the NBA, and we actually talk some NHL.

    ***NOTE*** There were some technical difficulties around the 50-minute mark, Greg's audio drops for a couple of minutes. Our apologies.

    Nov 11 2024

    The guys celebrate a beautiful showing by the Tide in Death Valley, talk the big upset wins by Ole Miss and Georgia Tech, and what they might mean for the CFP. They also take a look at the conference races across the country, Greg laments a lost Cowboys season while the guys react to a crazy Lions/Texans Sunday night game, and talk some early season NBA and Bama hoops.
