Megan is back and better than ever and we've got GAMES to discuss. Another crazy Thursday with two top-20 games going to overtime in Norman and College Park, plus everything else that happened throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Then on Sunday there's... more
Props to the mighty Miami U RedHawks who are 20-0 on the season and we got Matt Norlander dropping bars on today's show about just how big of a deal that actually is. The list of recent mid-majors to get to that mark are few and far between, and Nor... more
That's right, folks...this is our last college football show for awhile. Hartzell needs a break (besides, he's got hoops shows dropping twice a week on this here feed), but don't worry because Roddy and Wayne bring the gas. Natty takes and reaction... more

Very underrated CFB show. Love all the discourse.
Dude stop breathing so heavy in the mic. You didn’t last year. Get it together bro
I love the show love the commentary around college football, love the hosts but we just don’t need to hear athletes talk. I’m not saying their pov doesn’t matter it absolutely does the most. Athletes as gifted as they are just are not great entertainers. I love watching athletes compete I love hearing about what they said through media sources such as yourselves but athletes on the mic is just bad podcasting. We just dont learn anything though player speak just like we won’t learn anything thoug... more
Great college basketball coverage starting in January, but what I really appreciate is that this podcast holds people accountable. Stephen A. Hartzell doesn’t let the minor details go unnoticed. If your name is Joe Lunardi, Jerry Palm, or (insert other big name here) and your job title says “bracketologist”, you gotta be updating your bracket projections every day! Most people scoot by this as if it’s not that important, but Hartzell is on it. Hold these men accountable!

Can only leave a five star review for Hartzel. Not Norlander given his very lazy ranking of Auburn preseason 27 saying:
“Now Bruce Pearl has a group with sites set again on winning the SEC, though as you can see I'm a seller on that idea. Every year there are a few teams ranked in the preseason that prove to be overshots, and I'll take a chance Auburn applies here... For reasons hard to foresee, some teams just take steps back.”
Really bro? All in good fun, he has many other good takes, but h... more
