    I’ve been listening for 3 or so years and enjoy listening to Connor and Will. I’m a big Tennessee fan and always good to get a neutral take and the hard truth. I’ve tried a ton of different SEC and College Football pods but found Connor and Will to be my favorite. Pods are a great length for doing yard work or turning on while working and getting some in depth looks at games. Best of luck on the OG venture! I’ll be here along the way!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It Just Meant More: 2021 Ole Miss at Tennessee, AKA Lane Kiffin returns to Knoxville
Q: If you knew what was about to unfold that night, how would you have introduced the game to set the stage for viewers?
I'd frame it as a clash of unresolved rivalries and a night where a return becomes personal history for everyone involved. The atmosphere, the crowd's energy, and the unpredictable sequence of events would be introduced as a quintessential SEC moment where football, theater, and fandom collide.
The 8 teams in college football hell, Trey Wallace talks pivotal 2026 for Josh Heupel
Q: Where do you think Josh Heupel stands with his athletic director, Danny White?
There's a lot of agitated fans who are frustrated with Josh Heupel and Danny White's comments on NIL.
Natty preview! SEC Transfer Portal Superlatives, Chris "Bear" Fallica on Miami & title game bets
Q: Give me the path for the Miami victory because it kind of feels like each of these playoff games for Miami has followed a different script.
If Miami can effectively run the ball like they did against Ohio State and apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks, they can control the game tempo and keep Indiana's offense off the field while shorthanded in the secondary.
Non-Playoff SEC Bowl Preview! Peter Burns talks Kiffin's LSU start & weird A&M vibes
Q: What fair year one expectation can we have for Lane in Patvers?
The floor is still nine and three, particularly given the high expectations and the investment in the coaching staff.
Playoff quarterfinals preview! Chris Marler returns to talk Rose Bowl
Q: Do you feel like this team is playing with house money?
I want to say yes, but you threw out the phrase self-awareness.
