Bill Belichick's UNC Debut ends in BLOWOUT by TCU, Did the NFL FORCE Dallas to trade Parsons, What's WRONG with Bama Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

John Middlekauff REACTS to UNC Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick's debut blowout loss to the TCU Horned Frogs to cap off Week 1 of the college football season. John determines that UNC is not talented enough to seriously compete in the ACC and debates if Belichick will have the patience to build this roster where it needs to be through recruiting and the transfer portal. John wraps up by talking about the disadvantages Belichick has in recruiting over the likes of Miami's Mario Cristobal & Clemson's Dabo Swinney in the coming years, and that the talent discrepancy in college football is a much wider gap than it is in the NFL.

23:04 - Was Dallas forced to trade Micah

Instant REACTION to Arch Manning's debut and OSU taking down Texas Aug 30, 2025

Show notes

The hype was real, but Arch Manning just got handed his first big test, and Ohio State wasn’t messing around. John reacts to Texas-OSU as he breaks down every angle of the Longhorns’ loss, what this means for Arch moving forward, and how Texas stacks up after getting punched in the mouth by the Buckeyes. Credit where it’s due, Ohio State looked pretty solid, and that defense showed up.

We also take a look around the college football world, including Deion Sanders’ rough debut at Colorado, and why the Buffaloes looked completely unprepared.
